I took this photo of a storefront in downtown Asheville, NC - aren't they pretty?
Will check out the links - thanks.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I was bummed the store was already closed - I would've purchased one!
ReplyDeleteKudos on the award, and WOW - stunning picture!
ReplyDeleteNice stars-- unusual decoration. I got you signed up for the FIFTEEN FANTASY ISLAND FAVORITES album list for May 17th. Linky Tools was apparently down for a while then it started accepting names again. Now your good to go.

I want one of those decorations.
ReplyDeleteThanks Arlee!
ReplyDeleteAllyn, I really wanted one too...
The stars are beautiful. I saw some in the Albuquerque airport and immediately wondered where I could hang one!

Cows are cute, Jai!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elizabeth.
Simon, first time I've ever been called a wunderbar - LOL! Just don't call me a Twinkie.
Congratulations on your award, Diane! Very appropriate, since you do add a bit of sunshine through your blog. That's a great photo! Asheville is such a lovely city.
ReplyDeleteI’m a bit behind today so I’m going to rush over and check out these links.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of the starts, by the way.
Love that photo! Thanks for the links - enjoy the weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteConnie, yes it is!
ReplyDeleteLove the stars, they're beautiful. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo! I'm sure they were beautiful in person, but the way you captured them--wow! In fact, I'd love to have that on my wall...can I get a copy? It'd look great in my kids playroom.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the links! So many to check out! I didn't get to comment yesterday, but I really enjoyed reading your "Tips" post. I got cut off before I could comment. Sorry it's been so long!
