Asheville is noted for their abundance of Folk Art dealers and we wanted to see some so the next day we traveled to downtown Asheville and walked the streets going into stores we found interesting. We saw some interesting and some beautiful crafts. It is good to find things made in the USA. We don’t see much of that as we shop in Wal-Mart and at the malls which is where we went after leaving downtown. We had lunch there and then did some walking.On our way home we stopped by a huge Farmers Market that was much like a flea market. There were about 4 big building with all kinds of fruits and veggies, jams and jellies, bakery products, nuts, cheese, ice cream and candies. In and around these booths were every kind of craft you can imagine. Another building had landscaping plants and supplies. We did not make it around to everything. We bought a few veggies and some fruit and ate an ice cream cone. This was a full day for us and we were tired when we arrived home about 6 pm.
