Flossie and Boo comes from the nicknames of the owners two children. It is a shop located in the Market Place here in Newark selling lots of very fashionable bits ‘n pieces! Everything is aimed at products for babies, small children and up to early teens - and quite a few items will appeal to mothers as well. They sell clothing, toys, mementoes, knick-knacks and so on!

Happy Window Wednesdays.
“Loving people who live far away is one of the quiet heartbreaks of adulthood. But what a gift it is to have people worth missing this much.” - unknown.
We have been empty nesters for a long time. There was that silent break in the rhythm in our routines when the next generation “fledged” and that was tough to endure. Now we have our own retirement rhythm in our home. Luckily we are able to travel to see our families. But there are times I wish it could just be a little more often. Happy Window Wednesday.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)
The lighthouse at Cape Schanck stands high on the hill and overlooks the beautiful wild coastline at the south of the Mornington Peninsula. On a beautiful fine late spring day.
HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !!
This international bank in Basel CH certainly has a "spicy" variety of windows, all juxtaposed together. I like the effect though.
In my experience, banks always opt for impressive facades if they have enough of other people's money on hand to provide a big budget. I get the impression that the architect who did this bank had a free hand in design and did not need to worry much about the budget. I think he did well, facade-wise.
I have no idea what it is like inside. I do not wear a big enough wig to be allowed to roam around inside. Even getting into the lobby is a challenge unless you dress the part--i.e. look like a banker ready to bank.
Location: One of two unusual buildings in Basel City that house the Bank of International Trades and Settlements.

I think this looks as if it were taken in the Mediterranean but this pretty prisoner was actually in the tiny Alberta hamlet of Madden on a -10c day.
The other option for developers who buy a heritage listed home on a large block of land in areas like Canterbury is to let the house rot until it falls over with neglect. This house, used to be owned by the McAlpin Flour company owners, and now a developer, is all boarded up and left alone. Situated not far from the previous house. Happy Window Wednesday. "McAlpin's was a major Victorian flour company in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Owned and operated by J. McAlpin and Sons, the company sold its flour products across Australia and overseas.
"McAlpin's had a canny marketing campaign which was focussed heavily on the housewives of Australia. One innovation was the publishing of a free cookbook which had recipes in it that used McAlpin's products. These free cookbooks were published successively from the 1930s through to the 1960s in Australia."
We found this fascinating.... a stained glass window fixed with a hinge to the side of this window in the gallery at Lanhydrock, so that it can be folded in or out. Couldn't find any information about it...
HWW!
We stopped at many small towns in May and June, 2018 driving from CT to our retirement home in WA. On Memorial Day weekend, I came across this unusual shop window in Hancock, NY. Not sure who these figures represented or why they were wearing masks. The third head from the right kind of looks like George Washington? And who knew there was a US Atlatl team? [Btw, I couldn't find any information on the US team, but, surprisingly, several colleges appear to have atlatl teams.] Anyway, the photo seems apropos to these times - strange and masked. Happy Window Wednesdays!

We had a few things to do in Trumansburg this morning. We stopped on Main St. and I took some photos.
Heard Maggie growling one day and looked out on the porch and the police had some body pulled over. Good guard dog.
Happy Window Wednesday.
...and net curtains at the windows of these houses in Romsey, Hampshire
We had a Sunday morning walk around this characterful town. Lots to see and photograph, including these old houses, at least 16th century I think, the mill race, the Abbey and the tributes at the war memorial.

From awhile ago. A local hotel. I'd arrived early to have some breakfast prior to attending an educational seminar. I would always carry this little Panasonic camera with me.
The scale and sweep of this really caught my eye. I'm glad that I stumbled upon this image again.
Happy Window Wednesday.
HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !!
It is probably just due my overactive imagination seeing eyes and faces where there really aren't any. But when I took this photo, I felt like this house was looking back at me. Maybe I caught an almost subliminal glimpse of someone at one of the windows, or maybe not. In any case, as I said in the caption, I found myself wondering
