Yesterday, we went to Old Salem, North Carolina with my sister Lynne and her husband Steve.
We took a tour of some of the old buildings.
and going in and out of historical buildings. There is still lots more to explore and to learn about in this the beautiful area of Old Salem. I can't wait until Spring, when I can tour the gardens.
I am joining Mary, from Little Red House for Mosaic Monday today. You should see the mosaic inspiration and Mary's photos are especially gorgeous today.
I'm looking forward to exploring Old Salem ... one day! Looks like fun!
I was there years ago for a Jr. League conference and enjoyed it. A friend's mother, now deceased, took us all to lunch at a wonderful place.
Glad you have family near.
And what a cute little dog!
Stay warm. It is going to dip tonight here, but we have had mild weather so far. It's been grand, minus a few days of rain. But we needed it. So that's okay.
Before I forget, I ordered another one of your pillows for a friend of mine. I can't wait till she gets it.
xo,
Sheila

I see that you're all wearing jackets to stay warm. That looks like a very nifty place to visit. Did you get something that was freshly baked?
Thank you for sharing your tour of Salem. Looks like fun time with your sister and the cute puppy dog! Have a happy week ahead!
Enjoyed seeing your pictures (here from MM) and can't believe I've never been there even though we live within driving distance for a days' outing. Someday soon we must visit!
Hi Karen,
I so enjoyed your lovely pictures and wonderfully informative commentary on Salem, quite enchanting in itself! The video is also very well done, and I like the choice of music.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Old Salem looks like a great place to visit. I love learning about how people lived in times gone by. Makes me thankful for modern conveniences.
Karen, looks like a fun and interesting outing. Sister time is always a treat for me. I know you feel the same.
Happy New Year!
A quaint village, it looks like you stepped back in time. I'll bet the baked goods are delicious!
Great shots of the place. It does have a vintage look.
Hi Karen, What a wonderful post sharing the new/old surrounding of your hew home. I love the quaintness of old Salem. You are going to really enjoy living here.
So nice to be near your sister too. What a sweet pic with her little pooch.
Stay warm. We are freezing here too and woke to 16 degrees which is unreal for us.
Blessings!
Salem has some wonderful historic buildings - it must be a very popular tourist destination Karen.
I love delving into the history of every country I visit - there's always so much to learn.
Beautiful mosaics - I would love to take 'Scout' home with me!!!
Visiting from Mary's Mosaic Monday.

I'd love to visit Old Salem - it's so interesting to immerse oneself in history. I remember visiting Williamsburg - a wonderful place!
We love Salem, too. And, the smells from the bakery are awesome.
