Port Perry/ Signs, Signs

Queen Street, Port Perry

Something about this town draws me back again and again. A small shopping centre with a Walmart is in the process of being built on the outskirts of town. I fear for the shops on this main street.

U/ ABC Wednesday

 UNIQUE glass in a store window

One of the many reasons I like to visit Port Perry is to window shop. You just never know what you might see there...and for sure there;s an excellent chance you'll see something handmade, which is often UNIQUE.


UNIQUE sculpture

These items don't fit in my home...but I DO love to look.
