My time in the mountains of western North Carolina was over before
I could blink. But it is always time well spent. Lots of laughter, good food, beautiful scenery, drives through the countryside...
...an hour or so walking through the shops...you could spend days in this area going through hundreds of unique shops if you so chose...
...each visit I usually try to check out a place I've never been before...
...most times I even remember to grab my camera...
...Mr. and I drove to one of my favorite antique shops tucked way back in the woods on a twisty, narrow mountain road that gives me the creeps because there are precious few guard rails...and someone in the car who shall remain nameless drives way too fast on those roads...
...I was so happy to have survived the ride that even finding the place closed barely even caused my emotions to fluctuate one iota...of course, finding these beautiful pink roses growing along their fence was more than compensation for having driven so far...
...and wouldn't you know it? On our way back to the cabin we just happened to drive right by my favorite shoe store in Highlands. Look at my {SQUEAL} new shoes! They are incredibly comfortable and just plain FUN! Just what I needed for all the traveling I'll be doing in the coming days....
Where am I going, you ask? Why I'm off to visit creative spaces across the globe during theWHERE BLOGGERS CREATE PARTY!

Awww the fun getaway inspires me:) I have to admit the shoes were my favorite part though. There is no greater "find" than a great pair of shoes or a decent bathing suit. I found the suit yesterday! Yeah, we are blessed! Looking forward to viewing your art space! See you soon Sweet Sue!
