Hi Bloggers!
A couple weeks ago my friends Gia, Ann-Marie and I hopped in the car and headed up north...(north of the river that is), to Parkville, MO to find a wonderful store called
Florilegium.
It was a wonderful autumn day and I am glad I can share it with you!

Hey Gia! Wait for us!
(Gia drives us out of her maze of a neighborhood) |
Come with us as we leave Overland Park, Kansas and drive north of the Missouri River, up to Parkville, Missouri and Florilegium.

| Beautiful Fall Colors |

If you like sewing arts, weaving, knitting, beading, crocheting, mixed-media, embroidery, or just looking at pretty things, this place is a must-see! I can't express in words the way a crafter feels when going into a place like
Florilegium. It's magical! Everywhere you look you see something different and something you are certain you can work into one of your projects! I'll let you see what I mean...

near the Kansas City International Airport |

Is that a dust mop? No it's a dog who is sleeping on the counter!

Gorgeous antiques and interesting doo-dads are everywhere!

How can you be anything but giddy when you go to Florilegium?
Next time you need a lift, take a road trip with your pals to an inspirational destination!
It'll make you smile!
Happy Creating!

I'm envious of your road trip. The fall colors look gorgeous and the shop looks very interesting. I think you three had a great time from the looks of it! I expect the store was the kind you could do major damage in so it is just a well I didn't know about it's existence until now! Thanks for sharing, ReNae.
