Albuquerque Old Town

I'm going to take a little breather from the usual quilting programing to bring you a tourism feature; though if you're a local, it may be even more beneficial. Today I'm sharing an illustrated guide to Old Town, a cultural and shopping district great for locals and visitors alike. 

My family and I enjoyed lunch at High Noon, an upscale place with classic and area-specific specialities. We tried the Shrimp Pappardelle, Lobster Bisque, and a chicken dish. All were tasty.

Then I did a bit of shopping at San Pasquals, which I initially took for a furniture store. However, it was a wondrous shop with numerous unique specialty items. Aren't these measuring spoons too pretty?

I adored these fuzzy birds.

Then I sighted these fantastic bed sheets. Wouldn't this set be great for a kid who loves Wonder?

Or this set for a dinosaur-enthusiast? Personally, I decided on a mermaid set for my daughter.

I picked up a pale blue set of these favorite candles of mine.

They had aprons.

And Kitchenwares.

These were the most adorable socks.

I thought these clips would be adorable hang up a mini quilt or a top for photographing.

Or the absurdly charming lamas.

Have you been to Albuquerque? If so, have you checked out Old Town?
