Old Saybrook, CT
Carole opened her Christmas shop on Saturday...
...and by now all George's Christmas trees
are ready outside the shop as well!
Every nook and cranny of this enchanting shop
is filled with treasures!
Seriously,
I don't know how Carole manages to outdo herself each year!
Beautiful ornaments...
...glittery Wendy Addison selections
...gorgeous jewelry
Have a look....
I know...it's amazing!
If you are in the vicinity of Old Saybrook, CT...
be sure to visit Maynard Greenhouse and Carole's Christmas Shop
...stop in and tell Carole and George I say hi!
You will be soooo glad you did!
How was your Thanksgiving?
Mine was wonderful...
...we were with sister Mary Beth and family and friends.
We had turkey with all the trimmings
and the most delicious desserts too!
We are grateful for so many blessings...
Today, Dan and I ventured out to a few local shops...
steering clear of the Black Friday madness.
It was very relaxing and fun to spend time with my "boy".
:)
Will be posting soon about the Holiday Open House
at Taken For Granite in Stony Creek
and my visit to Gather in Ivoryton
as well as a few more stops we made while shopping in CT.
Until then....
...take care!
Lots of pretty treasures - thanks for sharing. I need to roam a few of the holiday shops soon - maybe it will help me get in the holiday spirit.

WOW! Carole has such a beautiful shop! If I lived near there I would definitely stop in or should I say camp out. It would take me at least a full day to take in all the lovely items she has in her shop! She sure has a keen eye for displaying all her beautiful things.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing and I'm glad you had a great Thanksgiving. :)
Oh My! Thank you for sharing all of Carole's eye candy! What a beautiful Christmas store...

ReplyDeleteHow could you ever leave that shop...it is absolutely amazing. So many ideas!

So very beautiful - and how lucky you are to be able to visit Carole in person, Laura!!! :)

Dear Laura,
ReplyDeletethankyou for all those wonderful photoes from Carole`s shop.
It is an amazing place, and I wish my own humble shop, would be just able
to come a bit close to this wonderland, but that is not possibly here.
Carole is making a fabolous place for others to dream and feel joy!
Hugs,Dorthe
...sigh...
ReplyDeleteCarole did an amazing job...what beautiful displays!! Loving all those crowns!
oh, my. oh, my. Could someone please send me one of those hearts with the hinge....AWESOME!
ReplyDeletewhy are all the really great places a thousand miles away?
sigh.
wish the whale would come my way :) :)
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to seeing pictures of Carole's shop! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI can't put any pictures on my blog cause I've run out of storage space and can't figure out how to set up my google wallet! When I try to set it up, it directs me to a page to send in documents to prove I am who I say I am! If you have any info on this I would appreciate your help, if you have time.
Thanks
