12/365 - Lunch at the Candy Kitchen



Scott and I enjoyed lunch at the Candy Kitchen, a charming restaurant on Main Street. The restaurant / candy shop was refurbished last year and the owners retained much of the original details of this turn of the century (established in 1901) soda shop.

I've taken pictures of the floors (lovely mosaic tile), benches and lighting fixtures before:


The temperatures climbed into the high 40s today - you can't beat that in early January!

So where do you live? This place is so cute! I wish we had charming places for photos here in Phoenix... but nope. We have desert... and Cactus. Yay...

Love the photos!

Oh, Shirley, I really like the detail you captured in this! Nice finds. . . and I want to know what's on the menu in a candy/restaurant! By the way, where did you get your cloud label in your side bar?
