The graffiti, the high rises, the blue skies, the Ten Thousand Villages treasures (i love that you posted the blurb on each item). I (like you) am a firm believer that when we LOVE what we do (like that woman you met in the shop), that happiness & care finds its way to others. Those bird houses are amazing. Glad you had a great time there with your sister, and that you were able to buy those books i suggested. They are 2 of my favorites - still. Hugs to you my friend! xxpaulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368752624832830591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958886527937390919.post-72481382679557102812015-04-15T10:33:20.711+03:002015-04-15T10:33:20.711+03:00Love you too Seema.

I loved it. xxArtihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455186909681790185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958886527937390919.post-26984979888748804982015-04-15T05:53:21.355+03:002015-04-15T05:53:21.355+03:00I just wrote a comment in the morning but can'...I just wrote a comment in the morning but can't see it. This was a wonderful vacation, especially spending time with you and our wonderful walk. I'd totally forgotten abt the mural....it looks beautiful and we were so amazed. Our shopping at Ten Thousand Village was the highlight...it always gives me a smile when I wear the earrings bought from that shop. Your birdhouses are looking simply gorgeous. We need to do this again soon! Thanks for this wonderful memory.

Now it looks like Philly needs to be added to the list of places to visit. Thanks for the tour. Great pictures! xxApril Hoellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06009538299533789189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958886527937390919.post-90689171472203791802015-04-14T13:42:02.885+03:002015-04-14T13:42:02.885+03:00Thank you Ish:) We definitely had a great time.

Walking without an agenda is the best way to explore, I think. xxArtihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455186909681790185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958886527937390919.post-6278836855651655842015-04-14T11:49:28.186+03:002015-04-14T11:49:28.186+03:00Enjoyed your "Philly tour", it looks lik...Enjoyed your "Philly tour", it looks like you and your sister had a wonderful time. The goodies you picked up are unique. As you rightly said, it is important to seek out local artists and artisans. I have been to Philly a couple times before but it was limited to the historic places. Looks like you had more of a feel of the place, makes me want to go there again:) Again loved your pictures...Ishhttp://ishmusing.comnoreply@blogger.com
