Country Yard Sales; Happening Spots

I had to see for myself! There was a dandelion festival in Wallace NS. The fields of dandelions were left untouched and they were beautiful. My friend and I debated the virtues and beauty of the dandelion. Any comments?

We had a great breakfast at the Tatamagouche Farmers Market. Flowers nesteled in a wreath, maple products...MMMmmm, handmade cards and lots more. The gift shop, coffee shop and accomodations in the old train was something I tucked in my memory bank for a fun weekend this summer.

Hannah's bookstore had 3 authors visit during the 45 minutes that I was there. Linda Little signed her book that I had purchased, Scotch River. They support the arts in a big way.

Back to Pugwash and the Chatterbox Cafe. The owners ,Norene and Greg are friendly and fun and the visitors have the pleasure of her paintings surrounding them along with the good company. You could spend hours at this cafe along with the Hidden Jewel gift shop that adjoins them. And it's not even tourist season, yet!
