I just snuck out for a bit to an antique and collectibles mall not too far from my office. Beautiful sunny Friday but cold day here in North Texas and I hate being stuck at work today and that urge to head to my place of solace is very strong.

It makes me so happy walking through the doors of the antique mall and seeing that Christmas and the Holidays have started to arrive! I see so many booths starting to put out their vintage Christmas decorations and figurines and some also have that wonderful holiday smell wafting about their spaces (cinnamon, apples, cloves, gingerbread – yum). One booth is literally filled to the rim with vintage Christmas ornaments and mercury glass baubles – its Fantastic!! Sadly, I can’t stay too long today as a full afternoon of meetings is waiting for me but this hour of joy and the ability to float away has been wonderful! Hope you are all having a great Friday!
