Our Saturday Adventure in Lancaster

We do not go into the city of Lancaster very often.

In fact we kind of have to work ourselves up to it

thanks to the traffic and what seem to us like crowded 

conditions.  That is likely due to our home being in a very 

rural setting and our total love of elbow room.

(However, lest you think we are country bumpkins,

we do know our way around the city.

I only said ya'll and ye-haw onct...maybe twice!

Nobody said nothin' bout my 

milking boots nor straw hat!)

LOL

Back to seriousness now....

sorry for that little diversion.

Our friend Denny is the owner of this 

most adorable little shop.

Fab Fashion is THE PLACE in Lancaster 

to go 

for your next handbag or bling.

Denny does all of his own purchasing

and has an amazing knack for 

choosing things that make you

go "ahhh! pretty!".

One of these days he is going to have a 

web site and then the rest of you will 

get to enjoy it too!

I'll let you know when that happens.

Denny occasionally allows our friends Lindsay and 

Emma to fill in for him.  This was the case on Saturday.

We found them to be very helpful and efficient

when Chelsea found a pair of earrings to buy.

Emma actually found her inner model

for this photo.

Cute!

I just had to show you some of the bling

that is available.

Did you notice the purses behind Emma's head?

So many handbags...some of you would just be 

in your glory.

I am not a bag-a-holic so I just think it is cool....

but I know people who would never want to leave.

After visiting with the girls

we were off to Central Market.

It was crazy busy.

Too much so for me.

However, I was happy for our friends

the Shenk's who have a stand here.

Hoping it was a good day of sales for them.

 Warren's extended family were Market People.

He learned to make change and deal with 

customers in a market in the city of York.

Warren's Dad grew up in a family that worked 

a farm and took their produce to market.

It is in their blood.

We used to go regularly and visit the 

cousins and friends who tended market when 

we lived in York County.

But, we have gotten out of the habit.

I think that Georgia and I will likely 

go back to Central Market again but on

a week day.

Not far from the market you will find this 

newer building.  

It was built to be all about music.

A conservatory.

However, the economy went south at 

just the wrong time and it did not make it.

Millersville University to the rescue.

Ta-da!

The campus is now extended to the city.

I don't know how this works for them....

but I am glad the building is in use!!

 We were planning to get breakfast in town

but a quick step into the Prince Street Cafe found

no available tables so we skedaddled back 

to our van and got out of there.

Yep!

We just breathe better in the country.

But, it was nice to visit.
