an April Showers kind of weekend....


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!
