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.

  4. It is Practical Goods! They're closing at the end of April. The building owner is letting go of all of her tenants.
    I hope that the kind owner of the shop will be able to find another spot to rent.

  5. 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?
