We had a chilly, rainy weekend up here in the Boston area...which was good for the budding plants and flowers. And, as it turned out, not a deterrent to any of my weekend plans.
I spent Saturday in Concord, MA - a lovely and historic town - with nice coffee spots and great shopping! This view to the left is from the doorway of my favorite gift shop - Nesting. You can see the brick and steeples that characterize our New England towns from their second floor stoop.
After catching a few raindrops, and visiting Orchard House, I went hunting through some big antique stores. In case you didn't already know this...there are few places more deserving of the word random than an antique shop!
I was on the hunt for some turn of the century music books or hymnals, and I found exactly what I wanted! I needed a special gift for the son of some life-long dear friends who gave his senior recital on Sunday. We got to hear him sing his last college concert! It was a beautiful concert, and so much fun to share in the time with his wonderful family!
It sure was rainy and dreary! Felt more like March than April!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you made the most of the weekend! The recital pictures are marvelous.
Thanks, as always for linking up!
You turned grey skies into sunshine. I've love to rummage around that thrift store. Rebecca

ReplyDeleteWet, but beautiful! Gotta love a rainy day and yellow daffodils.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to spend a rainy weekend. Love the daffodil with the water drops.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a spectacular setting for the concert, huh?
