In between shopping and celebrating...


We managed to do just a little traveling in between shopping and celebrating...


The day before Christmas was cool, crisp and sunny so we decided to take a ride to Mystic, CT, and just enjoy the day and look for last minute gifts.  After lunch at Mystic Pizza, we shopped the Main Street.


The windows were wonderful as usual....



This is my very favorite store in Mystic... 


After Christmas we took another leisurely trip to Millerton, NY which is on the CT border.

  The windows there were also enchanting.


These antique monkeys were 
so wonderful to see them in the windows.



What could be more charming 
than "theatre des amis" in this window?



More of our day tripping to follow in future posts. That's enough for now!

Christmas comes and goes so quickly.  Planning, shopping, creating, entertaining, celebrating...it takes weeks to plan and goes by in a flash!  We had such a special day with family...it just didn't last long enough. Hope that your holiday was happy, too!


As always,

enjoy the day!
