Thursday morning my sister Cheryl called me and said it was such a dull, rainy day, why didn’t we take a drive to Newport and wander around Newport Marketplace for a while. I readily agreed. I had not been there in a while but enjoy following them on Facebook. For one thing, the guy often makes a pun about the picture he’s sharing. I fancy myself quite the pundit (see what I did there?).
It’s a great place!
We took a long time wandering around. There is so much to see, and it is one of those places where there is always something new. I saw lots of stuff that would make great Christmas presents. Cheryl and I talked about how it is not worth gift-giving if it causes you more stress than joy. I get a great deal of joy from giving presents. My only problem is my desire to give people presents they really want and/or can use. I see so many beautiful antiques and decorations, but one only has so much room in the house.
I ended up purchasing a very small snow globe, maybe an inch high, of a little Christmas tree. It would be a good present; almost anybody could find a space in their home for it. However, I just might have to keep it for myself. It is so cute!
I could make one!
Outside the Marketplace, we noticed a sweet decoration made with a pallet. I even have some old Christmas balls like that! I wonder if I could find a space in my home for such a thing.
