Ooh La La!

This fabulous window at ETC. in Mt. Brook Village, was so gorgeous I drove around the block last night and got out to get a photo. It reminds me of the creative, over the top windows I see in Paris at every turn. The French have a term for window shopping, lèche-vitrine, which means "lick the window". Fits perfectly here.

Treadwell's Barber Shop........ a Mountain Brook Tradition

I love featuring the  businesses in my city that have been here for decades. Well Treadwell's goes back 50 years in Mountain Brook. Thankfully, they are still in business.

Arctic Blast in B'ham?

The weatherman says we're getting some sort of "Arctic blast" this week. I think that translates to "winter has finally arrived in Birmingham."  This happy fellow, that hangs out in the window of Mountain Brook Flower Shop most of the year, should be very happy about that!

Le Chapeau Trés Chic

It's almost Easter, so I thought this gorgeous chapeau that I found at Christine's in Mountain Brook Village, would be just the thing. I think it looks like it could very well be in the window of Marie Mercié in Paris.

Tea Party

Tuesday, I ran in to Village Press in Mountain Brook Village to buy some cards. They have a terrific selection of cards, invitations, and stationery, not to mention a helpful and friendly staff. What a pleasant surprise to find that they were having a tea party for their patrons. My cute little friend Elizabeth, was having a grand time sampling the pink lemonade and cookies while her mom was shopping! I was able to talk her into just one more cookie so I could take her picture.
