Back to Georgetown


 A small town square decked out for Christmas + lots of friends + my camera =
my idea of fun!






For some reason, taking photos of things I love is almost as good as buying them. 

And much cheaper!




For instance, I'm a sucker for children's chairs, like the one above and especially, the one below. 

There's just something about these little festive painted chairs... 
...but I already have two, 
so I was satisfied with a photo of this one.
(Especially after seeing the price tag!)





When I was small, we had an aluminum tree.
I didn't like it, and longed for a real tree.




So why do I love these now?




I'm Texan, but this purse is plain creepy!




This photo below turned out a little blurry, but I decided I really like it and had lots of fun playing with it.






I love old glass ornaments, but my tree is over-saturated as it is.
Sigh.





I took this one for my friend Mary Kay. 
She loves buttons and making things. 
(And I have lots of wine corks!)





I tried to take different photos this time, but I just can't resist a repeat of this metal stairway.





Sculptures dot the square.  
Here are just a couple.





This little girl posed for me on the turtle. 



I have one of me trying to imitate it, but you're not going to see that one.
You'd have nightmares.

But I'll share this one of all of us. 




I love good wine, but good friends are priceless!

P.S. I did buy something.
This square picnic basket was just $3!!!

    I love the metal stair case!
