NoteCard Party: Halloween

It's time for Vee's Note Card Party.

Since it is October and Halloween is just around the corner,

I've selected recently posted Halloween items starting with

Henry Higgins and Eliza Boolittle! 

Seen in the neighborhood: A Smiling Ghost and

a smiling Pumpkin Man!

Last, my pumpkin crochet lapghan.

Wishing you well and much joy!

My World: Trader Joe's

Finally.

Trader Joe's opened stores in Houston.

So, what's so important about this Trader Joe's?
It may be the only Trader Joe's  located in an old movie theater!

The old Alabama Theater building was originally
constructed in the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne styles as a suburban theater.
The 739 seat theater opened on November 2, 1939 screening Man About Town starring Jack Benny.

The theater was closed in 1983 and was renovated as a retail bookstore.

After the bookstore closed, the building remained empty for several years.

Trader Joe's maintained some of the art deco features.
Take offs of movie posters are painted on the walls.

Trader Joe's Opening Celebration

The Best Little Storehouse in Texas

I spent more time looking at the posters on the walls than I did the food in the store.

I did come home with a small orchid.

When the crowds have thinned out, I'll go back and take more shots of the posters I missed

and do some shopping! 

I think Trader Joe's did a fun job of maintaining some of the movie history of the building. 

Thank you to Mary for hosting Mosaic Monday

and to the wonderful hosts of Our World.

Wishing you well and much joy!

Good Morning!

OWLing Time!

Halloween is just around the corner and it's time to invite the

OWLS for tea! 

One of the local tea houses has owl tea cups.

Every time I visit with them I pick the owl cup for my tea.

Mr. Dragon searched and searched and found the teapot and teacup set.

He knew how much I enjoyed tea with the owls! 

It is one of my most precious possessions.

I can't help but think about Mr. Dragon and all the love we shared when I use this set.

It brings a very big smile to my face.

He would like to know I'm smiling and laughing.

How about a cup of chai and a pumpkin muffin?

Sounds good to me!

Thanking our tea party hosts:

Tuesday Cup'a Tea

Wishing you well, much joy, and a wonderful cup of tea.
