Often, after a busy week, I like to sleep late on a Saturday morning (8 a.m.), have a leisurely breakfast and savor a cup of Starbucks Pike Place Blend, and then head on out for an adventure. After the regimented pace of a work week, it's nice to get in my car and not know exactly where I am going or what I am going to do.
I headed up through Maltby into downtown historic Snohomish. It was fun to walk the length of the town several times today, stopping in at all of my favorite stores (Joyworks, The Cinnamon Stick, and The Speckled Hen). Even though the day was overcast, the leaves on the trees were beautiful, and I always love the view of the Snohomish River from town.
There were so many vintage Christmas items in the antique stores, and I'm old enough now to see almost everything we had in our house when I was growing up now residing in the antique malls! I have been collecting Shiny Brite Christmas decorations for several years now, and I found two boxes of ornaments in pristine condition today. They will look beautiful with the 200+ ornaments I already have.
I had lunch in town, stopped by the jewelry store to have my ring cleaned, and then headed home. It was a perfect day, and I feel rested and relaxed, and grateful that I live in a country town that so suits my tastes. I do love the Slow Life!
