It snowed today here in Massachusetts – the first snow of the season! I had plans for brunch and a little Christmas shopping with my lovely niece Katie, so I shoveled my way out and met her at Acquataine Bis in Chestnut Hill for a lovely late morning breakfast of omelettes, cinnamon rolls and mimosas – totally yum!
And then we were off to the Prudential Center in Boston for a little shopping.
I always love to take pics of flowers and these were spectacular!
I’m not a big mall shopper, but the Pru is currently hosting the Artisan Market and I wanted to check out the works of some very talented local artists. I’m a big fan of photography (obviously!) and fell in love with the work of David Stern. His work – images of Tuscany landscapes and architecture and windows – is available on ceramic tile as well as standard prints. All are beautiful and I bought three! One he has to send me to me as he’d sold out, so I’ll save those for a later post when I receive it!
On my way back home – it had begun snowing again – I drove around my town and took pics of some beautifully decorated old homes and various sites around town:
I came home and cut out and baked some sugar cookies (post to follow).

Oh… and I got no Christmas shopping done. Actually, I am working on some handmade gifts, but I do have a lot of work to do! How is your shopping going?
WOW… looks like a GREAT day!
Greetings from Charlottesville, Virginia! You are making this former Bostonian (okay, Coolidge Corner dweller) miss being there quite a bit!
Fifi – it WAS!
Upstart – hello! I hate to rub it in… but it is a pretty time in MA!
Oh, how pretty! we don’t get much snow down this way, but I love to see pics of it all. Love those Italian photos too, there’s just nothing like Italy for beautiful scenery. Have a Merry Christmas!
I know, Rhonda, I’m a sucker for the Tuscan shots. Hence – I bought three!
