WREATHMAKER

Yesterday I posted photos of the flower market at Pike place here . There is so much more to see at and near the market, but because our trip was a one day whirlwind affair, I know we missed a lot. I loved the colourful peppers arranged in wreaths and swags Oh, seafood!   We stopped for lunch at Ivar’s, a waterfront restaurant we had visited about 30 years ago when our children were young. The food is still great! To “top” it off, some of us went up on the space needle…not me! (can’t do heights) If you want to see more of Pike Place Market, Judy at My Front Porch has some great photos in her interesting post today.

This week we spent a few days in Vancouver, British Columbia. We drove to Seattle for a day and visited Pike Place Market. I just loved the beautiful bouquets and cut flowers! They were also reasonably priced, but since we were cross-border shopping, we couldn’t bring the real thing home, so I took lots of photos to enjoy in the coming days when snow flies… Even though these aren't my flowers. I am taking the liberty of flaunting them over at Tootsies anyway.
