Ponchatoula Country Market, Ponchatoula

This is a cute little country store to walk through. I'd been here before maybe 15 years ago (wow...I'm old now...anyway) and it hasn't changed a whole lot--which is part of the charm. They have stalls from different vendors so there are many crafts and gifts to look at. There are handsewn dolls, baby clothes, jewelry, pot holders, lotions and bath products, pottery, and more. My favorite stall was a small selection of handmade 100% beeswax candles that come in molded in different shapes. They're such good quality and at very reasonable prices. I bought one that looks like a little bunny and it's the cutest thing. The staff here is so friendly and nice. I spent a good amount of time chatting with the lovely ladies that worked there. They made my afternoon and gave me some great suggestions for how to spend the rest of my afternoon here.

Awesome place, variety of goods. Slumped bottles were fun, the shop in the front with the creams and soaps....amazing. Gator out front made me mad. Turn it loose please.
