Do you want to go shopping with me?

Last Saturday one of my favorite shops had it's Christmas open house.

I thought you all might like to go with me to the Sun Valley Garden Center

and have a look around.

In this little mountain town  about 30 miles from the farming town that I live in,

is a garden center and nursery where I purchase most of my garden products

in the Summer. In Winter they fill the greenhouses with trees, and 

the small gift shop with Christmas goodies.  

In Winter, this area depends heavily upon how well the ski resort of Sun Valley, Idaho

does, and that of course depends on the snow we receive.

We have had a good snow so far this year, for which everyone is grateful.

Let me show you around the shop.

There were so many people gathered here picking out trees and

shopping the sales, that it wasn't easy to photograph the shop, but I took pictures

of some of my favorite displays.

(I'm going to try not to be too wordy in this post and just hope you enjoy

your trip around the shop.)



My daughter Haylee, and my granddaughter Maddie met me here,

and Maddie enjoyed running through the greenhouses checking out the trees.

It looks like she sees one she likes.

Uh Maddie...I don't think that tree will fit in the house!

Do you think you could pick out a shorter one?

Thanks for meeting up with me for this little open house.

I love taking you all along because I don't spend near the money

I would if I wasn't lugging this camera along!!!

I think I'm finished decorating the house finally.

And now I have been spending a lot of time in the studio making gifts.

I will be back to share a few pictures of the

Christmas decor in the house real soon.
