It’s Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas…

Albion is all decked out with Christmas decorations and activities all around town! Check out some of the photos I’ve been collecting over the past week or two – including some I took at today’s Hometown Holiday Celebration held throughout the Albion merchants.

Love this – don’t remember, but I think this was in Viola’s Boutique – so cute!

Another favorite – hard to tell from this photo, but it is a vintage dress made from newspapers and red spray paint – just gorgeous!!! It is in the window of Flying Needle and Thread on Bank St.

I think this is the other window for Flying Needle and Thread

Stunning tree in the window of Burgio Salon

Some of the windows in the old Citizens Bank building on Main St

Bindings Bookstore window display

Family Hardware! I also took a photo of the other window, which had a perfect reflection of this tree and a window across the street, but it didn’t come out…..darn – it was really cool looking!

Dance Reflections window display

Two of several trees inside the Hazy Jade Gift Shop

The Hazy Jade window display – always eye catching, but especially now!

Bank Street – looking east from Main St – the tree is in Viola’s Boutique on the right corner

Main Street – looking north from in front of the Presbyterian Church

Main Street – looking south from in front of the Hazy Jade Gift Shop

Just one of many sets of banners and wreaths adorning all the light posts along Main and Bank Streets

I hope you can get out and take a drive through town to check out all the beautiful lights! The Village and the Albion merchants have done an amazing job of ensuring our historic downtown is bright, colorful, and alive with the Christmas spirit during this wonderful holiday season!!!
