More fun...

On "First Saturday", no less. The "jewel" had the idea to visit historic hotels around the City to view Christmas decorations. Having been in the hotel industry in another life, sounded like a great idea. More gawking than picture taking on my part...lights and photos are not my thing.

The Hotel Phillips still holds fond memories for me. So glad it was renovated and is now on the National Registry of Historic Places.

As is the Aladdin. The art deco decor in the lobby was of more interest than the tree.

No pictures of the Hotel Savoy building...you wouldn't believe them! Not only is the china the same, so was the very old and worn pink, yes pink, flowered wallpaper. Supposedly this Hotel has ghosts, a couple very well may belong to me.

The President Hotel was filled with beautiful decorations and a favorite!

The Windows on Main, decorated to raise money for various organizations, were a slight disappointment...tiredness and the cold were setting in.

Perfect window display for a jewelry store. Beautiful jewelry and nice glass of champagne.

And the day ends...at the Brick with a new brew.
Does your city have sites you visit at Christmas?

Nice! How fun to visit historic hotels at Christmas! Our town doesn't have anything interesting. But I remember when I was little we lived in a college town. And the thing to do was to drive around to all the fraternities and sororities -- each one would put up Christmas lights for the holidays. There would actually be lines of cars driving around to each one. :D

Such beautiful photos! I wish there was a lot to see where we live, but there is not. Your photos are a joy for me to see.

Bowled over...

With the thought anyone would stitch a design over and over...let alone seven times!  This is not my stitching and I normally don't share the stitching of others.  Although, I did finish the witch seven times.  No, I won't stitch a bowl of wee witches, but I would stitch more than one if I knew who the designer was. Do you stitch a design more than once?

What to do. . .

Blog, stitch, finish work?  I have no idea where to start. My world is spinning with change.  Trying to keep up and not knowing where to start.  Turning the page of the calendar was an eye-opener for sure.  2018. . .really?  Where did 2017 go, not to mention the last 3 years?! Life is what you make it and I'm going for love, joy and kindness.  Hopefully, that will include saying hello on occasion to my blog friends. How about you?  What are your plans for 2018?
