I love the Jessica Verday books,  "The Hollow" Trilogy.

Since her on-line "Abbey's Hollow" Shop will close, 12/31/11...

And I had wanted one of the scents...

I had "Uncle A." get one for me for Christmas.

What with fighting off that silly cold, and the stuffy nose-etc., 

I had not opened the scent bottle, till this morning.

♡
Finally opened it and I love it.  Now we will see if 

my silly ol' *delicate* allergy-ridden nose....  Loves it.  ,-)

♡~-~♡~-~♡

Yesterday we walked downtown, doing a couple of errands.  1.)  My right ear piercing, wants to close up, when I don't wear earrings every, every day.  I got 2 pretty lavender earrings for Christmas...  Want to wear them....  But know... the ear will hurt....  

So, the only logical thing to do is put in a sterile (with alcohol) Post, and leave them in, for a couple of weeks.  Got a pretty pair, down town.   In the shop pictured above.

 

Here is a pic, of inside the shop.  It was quite busy, but I tried NOT to take pics of people.  Some may not like to see a woman, *snapping* pics.
♡   
My posts are small but pretty...  An old fashioned setting around a pinky-purple *stone.*
  ♡ 
They may cost a bit more, than to get them
at a Target.  But I trust that they WILL be SILVER
and not irritate my ears more. 
♡~-~♡~-~♡

And here was a precious, little Pug doggie, walking with his owner.  The sweet doggie is 17 years old, we were told.  He does walk with a *little-hitch-in-his-git-along.*  :-))) 
But we *Olden Folks* do that too!!!!!!!  Isn't he precious???????
♡~-~♡~-~♡

WARNING! 

-chuckle-   
We did go back in that Specialty Shop!  Where they have all those
decadent DESSERTS.  Remember????  -grin-

They also have............
~-~

A large assortment...

~-~

 

Of many wonnnnnnnnnnnderful items.

~-~

 

And lots and lots of Deli offerings...  This is just one bay.

~-~

And unique and *different* things!!!!!

Remember.....   This is a "College Town."  ,-)

~-~

But they didn't have more of the cans of Escargot, which we got in Nov., for our Anniversary.  They have them, WITH shells.  But we have our own shells. 
But "Uncle A." managed to find some, on line.  :-)))))))  And they are
guaranteed to be here, so we can cook them New Year's Eve.  :-)
To have with our "Bubbly," at home.
~-~

(Wine Store window...  With train.  But it was NOT going "round-n'-round.")

Early on New Year's Eve, we bundle-up and walk "2-doors-over" to Daughter's house, to say Hi to and Wish a Happy New Year to her in-laws, who will be visiting. 
Then,
on the way home, we stop next door and do the same,
to Son and his Family.  Perhaps sample a bit of their "dips/spreads."  ,-)
Offer to bring them some Escargo later, when "Uncle A." cooks it.... 
(Son said he thinks he likes them.......   -grin-)
♡
Then home to our own "Bubbly," and Escargot and whatever other *goodie*
we make...  For New Year's Eve.  
Watch something on tv.
Listen to the scanner, for police calls.  (New Year's can have fun things to listen to.  One year, there was a report of a man-running-naked-through-back-yards.  One of which yards belonged to friends of ours!!!!!!) 
♡

Our city has a FANTASTIC (so they say) "First Night" Celebration.  But none of us go.
For us, NO driving.  Safe at home.  In our *jammies* and ready to *toddle* up to bed.
♡

Wondering what you Dear Reader, do....  For New Year's Eve????????????
