Color!
It's a marshmallow world out here in Saint Paul, unfortunately that means that everything you see is varying shades of white, gray and deeper gray.
Here is an example- (underneath that giant pile of snow is my back flower garden)
The other day I was bringing the Elder Hug-a-Bug to school and I spied a shop window filled with a literal rainbow of glass, ceramic and enamel goodness.
I had to stop by yesterday and check it out.
I didn't buy anything. It was enough for me to be surrounded by color.
The kind shop owner let me take lots of photos and pet her cat, and it just what I was needing in my life.
If I could afford her prices, I would bring this colorful pile of wool throws home with me, however I wouldn't want to deprive others of their beauty.

Ooooh! Pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt is Practical Goods! They're closing at the end of April. The building owner is letting go of all of her tenants.
ReplyDeleteI hope that the kind owner of the shop will be able to find another spot to rent.
Let's ALL help this owner out by purchasing something . I can always use more bright wooly blankets or a basket. How about the rest of you?
