The day this photo was taken I didn’t go into the store and I’m not quite sure if I’ve ever been in there but the contrast of the wooden building, Christmas decorations, and colorful umbrellas just caught my eye. Doesn’t it look as if once upon a time it could have been an old pioneer trading post?

Main Street St. Charles, Mo. goes hard with their getting into the holiday spirit 🙂
Interesting twist on holiday decorations with the pastel umbrellas…cute
I think they were a nice extra “touch” and a way to display the shops wares.
Great subject, Teri. Good eye. How could you not have gone in? I don;t tink I could have walked by the place without even a cursory peek.
I was too busy hunting for the Christmas characters although I did stop in the British Shop and scored big time there!
Wow I’ll bet there are some cool “finds” in there! I have to agree with John…it would be hard to pass this one up!
I think I’ve been in there once but not sure. It is a cool looking place though.
