Girls Morning

This morning I had a nice "girls morning," with just me and Teddy.  TBG went snow-shoeing with his GF Melissa.  We were intentionally separate!  There is no way I could treck five-plus miles, over hill and dale.  Plenty of snow was to be found at Chestnut Ridge park and I want my guy to  be able to take advantage of that.  I also wanted to spend the morning taking pictures of some of my favorite things in North Tonawanda, where I am now working.  I've been dying to share Cats Like Us with my readers.

How cool is a shop full of "new-vintage"/rockabilly style clothing?  It's a little gem in our kitschy world up in my new professional territory. There are promotional posters in the window too, advertising local swing-dance nights, vintage car shows, etc.

The neighborhood is rife with second-hand and antique stores.  This one is right next door to Cats Like Us and is called "A Little Bit of Everything."  I could find lots of things to love here!

As if a rockabilly inspired store is not enough, there is "Sweet Heart Pinups" on the next block.  This is sort of a sister-store to Cats Like Us.

It is nice to see a small business like this can afford a store-front.  That is the nice thing about small towns like North Tonawanda.  It's affordable -- and walkable.  I love walking around these shops.

I may not be in the market for a photography or a pin-up any time soon, but it would we cool to see more of what's inside.  Maybe one of these days, I'll do a photo session of me with my Gretsch guitar!
