Out and about this weekend, I spied what I thought was Santa on his off time, in a storefront window. He didn't have on his fancy red suit, but he did have the holiday colors of red and green. Hm..mm... maybe this is how Santa dresses when he is shopping for vintage items. Or perhaps this is an elf, gnome or impostor! On closer inspection now I'm not sure. What do you think?
He was hanging out at this vintage clothing store. I get why Santa would like the vintage clothes, you know he's kind of retro and all.
We had been at an Irish Pub called
The Anchor Fish and Chips and they had these kind of cute Christmas decorations. I took a couple of photos but they turned out really blurred. I sort of like the effect though. This was before I sampled the beer too, I'm blaming it on my camera. Maybe I should have approached Santa and asked for a new one in my Christmas stocking.. I didn't want to bother him. He looked deep in thought.
The bowl in the middle has a couple of birds and faux snow with some ornaments, the one on the right has a little church. I can't even tell what the one on the left is, I think pine cones. After we had our delicious lunch we walked by a few more artsy shops and saw these murals and amazing metal birds. I think they are supposed to be egrets or herons.
On the wall behind them was a mural and this cool wizard guy!
On our way back to the car, we passed by the Bologna shop again and the Jolly Elf was still there, guess he was stocking up on his winter wardrobe. I swear I saw him checking out a vintage Hawaiian shirt. I would think he would be busier at this time of year. He does have all those elves though.
Happy Monday, Let the Holiday Rush Begin!
