Photo above from a publication - remainder are mine.Trip to Asheville, North Carolina, beautiful small city set between the Blue Ridge Mountains and Pisgah National Forest.
Looking out over the city toward the Blue Ridge at sunset.
Window shopping at the historic Grove Arcade.
Guard dogs not needed - griffins at the ready, dressed in Holiday attire. The mountains are just visible in the distance.
Beautiful interior of the arcade.
Christmas windows in downtown Asheville where a contest was held for the best display.
Casual or formal - everything one needs for an evening of dancing on the town.
Even paper ball gowns!
Early morning - the real feeling of being in the Great Smokies - we had a few snow flakes to jump start the chilly day.
Breakfast was waiting - thank goodness some girls are up early in the kitchen!
He said "You can't go home again" but this charming home, his Mother's boarding house depicted in his famous novel 'Look Homeward Angel', in this lovely, vibrant city in the mountains would be hard to leave for ever. Surely Thomas Wolfe came back for a visit now and then.
Next post I'll tell you about my return visit to 'Screendoor' that great place for vintage treasures in Asheville - and show you the neat things I brought home!
