Asheville, NC

I love everything about this town!!

LOTS of unique shops and restaurants.

Tutu's anyone?

These were SO cute!

I loved these two unique shops.  This one (above/below) was Willow.

This one was Loft.

Such cool stuff.  Little harmonicas!  (Very tiny)

Asheville is a very green town.  There are a lot of vegetarian restaurants, and they are very committed to local, organic & sustainable.  Almost all the restaurants I have been in have recycling bins and compost bins.  I love that about Asheville!  These recycle bins are all over - every corner!

Fun Costumes!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

THIS HOUSE - OMG!  This house is in West Asheville, NC.  You cannot possibly capture all the stuff in the yard with a camera.  Every single inch of the house and yard have some little monster or other Halloween decoration on it.  I LOVE it!  It was so wonderfully decorated (I'd hate to do the clean-up!).

Bald Eagle!

I was out driving near Brevard, NC, today and saw this handsome fella! I swear he was racing my car, and when I stopped to snap his pic, he just circled above me - like he was posing for me! Always a thrill to see a Bald Eagle!

Basilicia of St. Lawrence (Asheville, NC)

This is a beautiful Catholic Church in downtown Asheville.

I love this architecture!

The inside is unbelievable!

Guadalupe

There is a gorgeous rose garden in the front.  But, I posted 

photos of the roses in another blog entry.  So pretty!
