Come with me once again to fabulous Mooloolaba, a most magical spot on the Sunshine Coast and a great place for a market. I visited this market yesterday to celebrate wonderful #marketFriday created and organised by the ever lovely kind 
Nothing beats the amazing ocean view right in front of Mooloolaba and has to be what makes this spot so very attractive to the large numbers of holiday makers.
But, as you can see with the fishing trawler in the photo, Mooloolaba also has a serious side, a marine industry role. Ships, trawlers, yachts and boats are guided up the Moreton Bay passage by the Port Cartwright Lighthouse positioned on the right. The Lighthouse was built in 1978 and is "powered by an array of sealed beam lamps." Lighthouse
The Mooloolaba market take place every fortnight and is strategically positioned on the little road in front of the shops, cafes restaurants and the nature strip, carpark and ocean makes for a fabulous atmosphere. The council is happy to approve for the closure of the road to traffic from 5 to 8:30.
Starting early meant not too many fellow market enthusiasts to side step on the road.
The foodie vans provided lots of options for the wandering market goers. We chose delicious Thai.
It was most pleasant hour checking out the variety of stalls, bought a candle but decided against a leather belt ......
.......and buying a tie on until it falls off bracelet, I like to take of my bangles and bracelets at the end of the day.
If you are planning a holiday on the Sunshine Coast or live at the Sunshine Coast and have not been here a little walk around Mooloolaba, walking on the beach, taking in the ocean views and wandering around the market I suggest you do as it is most enjoyable.
After the holidays I am told the markets will be held here every second Saturday.

I am proudly a forever always a flower girl and sharing the bunch of pretty pink Chrysanthemums sitting in front of me at this very moment felt right to me. A good way to end this post I feel. I hope the colours bring to you the happy joy they give to me. Gloriously magnificent aren't they?
