Nostalgic candies, soda fountain and more!

Finally checked out Fairmont Antiques in the Old Market! Very fun and eclectic. Antiques, soda fountain and the biggest selection of old fashioned candies I think I've ever seen. So if you've been longing for something sweet from long ago that you thought you'd never be able to get again.... Life just got a whole lot sweeter!

James Arthur Vineyards

The rows of grapes at James Arthur are so beautiful, a nice change from corn fields.

La Buvette

Hmm what to say.... Checked out this restaurant for my birthday and it's great! Ambience is amazing and food is equally so. It's a French restaurant/wine shop & deli. So if you're lucky like we were you can dine by the goods and check them out!

Mahoney State Park

I enjoy Mahoney State Park year round, but I think it's the most picturesque in the winter! So beautiful, it's cozy to stay at the lodge or cabins this time of year and just relax.

Lincoln PhotoFest 2011

Checked out PhotoFest last night- very cool. My friend had a photography show opening at Tugboat Gallery, if you get a chance you should check it out!

St. Cecilia Cathedral architecture & art

I had to dedicate another posting just to the architecture and art of this beautiful cathedral.

St. Cecilia flower festival

I was so excited for the St. Cecilia flower festival this weekend. I've been once before and it was so beautiful. This year I liked it even more, the theme was a tribute to their sister city in Mexico so it was very colorful! I especially like the arrangement on top that used tri-colored peppers mixed in with the flowers.

Think spring!

I've been willing spring to come and to make myself feel better since it's not at all springy here yet I went to the Lauritzen Gardens indoor spring flower show the first day it opened. It was really nice and encouraging, filled with lots of tropical plants and flowers. I loved all the different colored and types of orchids they had!

Snow Snow Snow!

Every once in while I really enjoy a snow day, so beautiful! And cozy... as long as you don't have to leave home.

Haymarket Lights

This is the last of the holiday lights, I promise!
