Yes, I am making my Scattered Saturday post on Sunday morning. You may judge me, and I will neither protest nor defend myself. Never mind that, on with the post.
I was missing a Girl’s Day in the Finger Lakes with my sisters and Mom, because Monday is the deadline for Mohawk Valley Living magazine, and once again, I am behind the eight ball (that is a cliche for “I don’t have my act together,” but I thought I would sound cool by referencing billiards) (go ahead and tell me pool and billiards are not the same thing; I deserve it for using a cliche to try to be cool). Where was I? Ah yes, looking for something to write about. I feel a little uncomfortable admitting I write these things so close to the last minute, but that behavior used to get me all A’s when I wrote papers in school. Why would I mess with success? Or how can I fight nature? But I digress.
Steven and I drove to Little Falls, NY, one of my favorite places, in search of a distinctive, fun local business I have not written about. Unfortunately, I have written about a lot of them. We parked on Main Street and took a slow walk down it. It was a lovely day for a walk, at least. We stopped into Designs by Shelly, a flower and gift shop.
Just a few gift suggestions for my husband. I’m helpful that way.
I sadly noted a couple of places no longer in business, giving Little Falls’ Main Street something in common with Herkimer’s. I would have liked to stop into Meeples Mug House, even though I already wrote about them, but they were not open yet.
In front of what used to be West End Steak House, long closed, still missed.
We did stop into White Rose Bakery, which I have written about, and had a cup of coffee and a treat. Yum! We considered continuing down to Paca Gardens or Fall Hill Bead and Gems, both of which I had written about, but decided against it. We headed back to Herkimer, in search of other adventures. Did we find any? That will have to await future posts.
White Rose Bakery: yummy coffee and treats, pretty windows.
