Are you a Red Sox Fan!

People from Boston and New England tend to be real die hard fans of the Boston Red Sox. Any opportunity to show their support is readily displayed. This shop of antiquities has a big bear outside the front door. I have noticed it before when driving by, but with the Red Sox banner held up for all to see was too irristable to pass up. We parked the car and I got a few shots. This is in a town called Leominster, MA and since we were parked we ventured into a few shops. One was a bead store where one can buy beads of all kinds and make custom jewelry. They even offer classes for beginners. The other storefront we entered was actually an Art Gallery sponsored by the town where for a small monthly fee, you can purchase a small space and display your artwork and crafts and sell them as well. I found this quite interesting. The woman working there was a volunteer and as long as she did 16 hours a month, she could have free space for her paintings and crafts. This really got my creative juices flowing... funny how you get attached to things when you decide to move and relocate. I'm sure I will find similar ventures where ever I eventually end up. We did have an interesting and productive day!

Today was a great day for shopping and browsing about town. It was sunny and mild and so pleasant!
