Windows

Since we are now into December I thought I'd share some of the Christmas shop windows I took photos of last year when all of the local businesses took part in a decorating contest. This year they are again doing the same thing. 








 Each window is very different, there's a men's shop, women's lingerie and clothing shop along with specialty shops. I'll be interested to see what everyone does this time around.

Nice festive windows. Not that overdone.

We were hoping to get up there but have been waiting for a fine day when we were free and it hasn't happened yet. Like the windows.

These are great. We don't see many Christmas windows with bathing suits in them on this side of the equator.
Lovely store windows decorated for Christmas.

With the growth of the big box stores there are not very many small stores with decorated windows.

The mix of summer with Christmas always looks totally weird to me (here in the snowy North...)

the toy shop windows are my favorites :))
Love the summertime Christmas! Of course we live in the only part of the USA where it is almost as warm even though it is winter in this hemisphehre. It still seems funny to be to be celebrating the season while wearing shorts and sandals.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
