Let's shop at the Gift Shop!

We enjoyed the gift shop at Middleton Place plantation

Here are some of the "pretties":

There were pretty tulip bouquets all over, I noticed them immediately. The tulips usually bloom around here in February or so and that is long past...so I took a closer look because they looked so life-like. They were very pretty silk versions.

Such pretty cards!!

Scented potpourri

beautiful silky scarves!

Here's mine!

Sweet little dollies getting ready for their lunch! No "tea party" for them today....they said they were HUNGRY! HA HA

Pretty PURPLE tea set! Debbie and Diane, I thought of both of you when I saw this! Anyone else love purple??

old fashioned pen and ink sets

Can you even imagine how our ancestors WROTE with these quills? Can you imagine how LONG it would take to write a letter?---the patience and determination that would be involved.

I wish the lighting had been better to really show how pretty these umbrellas were....they had so many prints!!--animals, butterflies, rainbows, flowers etc.

Pretty things on glass shelves

Cute little pins, pineapples and flowers and other things:

a big pretty colorful map of Charleston!

This piece was just gorgeous.....another lady and I both stood there admiring it

Anyone who knows me........knows this is where you'll always find me.......wherever the books are!

Here I am with my pretty fan to add to my collection

I started collecting fans about a year or so ago

.......and if there are books.......you need a pretty bookmark! Right?

and here I am yesterday, taking a walk and trying to show y'all my scarf!! (without looking TOO crazy!! ha ha LOL)

There's hardly ever any traffic on this street, so you'll often catch us walking right down the middle of the street! LOL
Thank you for coming to visit, and hope everyone is having a great week!

We get tulips in April. Their time here is short but always looked forward to in early spring. Silk ones can be lovely also and they last a lifetime..

I love your beautiful scarf.

tulips, one of my favorite spring flowers. they can be tricky, those look real. i saw those cards recently in a gift shop here, they were so beautiful. 10 dollars each, expensive but worth every penny, it's just that no one here sends cards or appreciates them. those needed to be framed!!

your scarf is so pretty...and as always you look fabulous!!!

This is a terrific gift shop -- really appropriate for the venue, too, with a mix of lovely things and some less expensive but related in some way to the area. I would have bought the Edna Lewis gift cards. They are re-releasing one of her cookbooks this year.

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
