These Christmas lights were so beatuiful I couldn't help but try to capture them. The city of Geneva, Illinois is awash in lights to celebrate the season. I was attending an Education Seminar in a nearby town and took the opportunity to visit this beautiful city to do a little Christmas shopping and have dinner.
This shop window was so quaint and so inviting! I wandered in and found a delightful mix of holiday decor and an array of Paris inspired accessories. In a word, "Beautiful".
The other shop I visited was called Simply Sassys. It was a little winter wonderland. There were candles in the scent of pine needles, decorated trees with ornaments made of porclein, blown glass, chyrstals, and an assortment of other characters made of fabric and some unusual items. (I'll share pics tomorrow!)
The shopkeeper was a sweet woman who chatted and shared stories about each of the gift lines she had to offer. Handmade jewelry, soy candles, and snow people are just a few examples. It is a crafters paradise!
In the midst of a day I was granted a moment to explore, meet new people, enjoy the holiday light displays, have a delicious meal, and be thankful for the understanding of the real reason for the season!
May your day be lit with the glowing warmth of this blessed season.
