Sweet Comment Award and Addie's

CJ of the Purple Diva's Diary presented the "Sweet" Comment Award" to me. Please pay her a visit. She's all decked out for the Holidays.

On Monday Daughter Sheila asked me to go with her while she ran a few errands. She especially wanted me to see a shop that I had never visited. The name of the shop is "Addie's" The name in itself is intriguing because our daughters called my mother "Addie." Over the years others picked up the nickname for Mom and she was known as "Addie" by almost everyone. We really enjoyed our visit to Addie's. When we arrived the owner was stocking the shelves. She is such a lovely woman. I wish that I would have asked her name. She really believes in the "green movement" as do I. Also, many of the things that are sold at the shop are made by local crafts persons. The owner gives each new customer a bar of goats' milk soap that she makes herself. I asked her if I could take some pictures. I will post more later.

The shop has a vast array of lovely things. Don't these look like real cupcakes?

There are angels, glassware, and figurines.

There is lovely jewelry.

The goblets are hand painted. I may splurge after the holidays and purchase four.

These are shelves of seasonings and mixes.

There are exquisite angels and sweet smelling tarts.

I love these rockers and the fresh smell of the handmade wreaths.

Daughter Sheila, Granddaughter Mallory, and I sat in front of the shop. The owner was nice enough to take our picture.
