Prince Charming and I are just returned from window shopping on King St. in Charleston. This is the only kind of shopping either of us likes, neither of us has started a lick of our Christmas shopping, instead of feeling worried or anxious we enjoyed these frothy creations of delight.
We weren't the only ones out enjoying the pretty windows. That baby on the scooter is maybe two-years-old. I admired this family's energy, mom and dad walking, sister on the bike, baby pushing like crazy on the scooter.
Another pretty window with various Christmas trees at Anthropologie.
Even the buildings themselves are beautiful. Here's the old Kress building, given new life as
H&M'S home.
Loved these old TV's with their 3-D Christmas scenes. This picture doesn't really do them justice. Too bad for you and me, they are all sold out!
If you're rocking the hip pink thing this Christmas,
Moon and Lola's got you covered. Even your furry friends are welcome at this shop.
This pair can serve me a cocktail any time! One thing we loved from our trip to Charleston was the way everyone dressed like a grownup. Sure jeans and yoga pants have their place, but I'd like to make a small plea that sometimes we all put on our best attire and spiff ourselves up. Charlestonians set a high bar for the rest of us.
I wanted to take this fellow from a
Talbot's window home with me so I could find a little Christmas cheer in his snowy embrace. The 14-inches of snow we received just before Thanksgiving was gone before the week was out. It'll be a brown Christmas for us on Pershing Road this year.
Whew! After all of that busy shopping on the crowded streets we found this little walk to give us a quiet reprieve. Turns out it was the reflection garden for the
Unitarian Universalist Church. Very pretty.
And a little wild as we got into the heart of the garden.
They even decorate their houses uniquely here. Wonder how they ever got this massive canvas Santa's hat on the turret?!
Our "shopping" trip ended with a glass of cheer at
Slightly North of Broad.
We're on our way home now. Wishing you the meeriest of Christmases and good luck on finishing up on that shopping!
