A Day In Parkville

We decided to spend our day in Parkville.

(McCay Hall,  Park University)


We scouted around for unique treasures at the antique mall.
(Do you see anything YOU would have brought home?)

(Parkville Antique Mall, English Landing)



We meandered through all the wonderful little shops up and down Main Street.
They were celebrating Oktoberfest down by the river.

(Shops pictured here include: Peddler's Wagon Quilt Shop,  Shabby Hattie's Tea Room, 
Christmas On Main Street,  Now You're Cookin',  Parkville Coffeehouse,   Stone Canyon Pizza and more.)



Before heading home, we paused for a few moments in the chapel,
to view the stained glass windows and whisper a prayer for a loved one.

(Graham Tyler Memorial Chapel)

    Looks like a lovely place to visit. I think I would have a pretty fun time in the Antique mall! I would have a hard time walking away without at least one of those cute vintage items! :)

    Gayle its a favorite stop especially in fall. The college grounds atop the hill cannot be more beautiful. We love these little shops up and down the main street. It is just beautiful. But the chapel I have never been in and is wonderful...I must visit it next time. Thanks for the heads up...smiles...Renee

    Oh my, I definitely see things I would have brought home. I think I would have enjoyed walking the streets of that sweet little town, I love those charming small towns and all the little shops. What state was that in? I probably missed that! I'm glad you got to go and had a nice time. It looks absolutely beautiful!

    Yes, I saw something in the shop I would have liked to bring home. :)

    The front of the chapel looks almost identical to the one at our local university; we were married in it 50 years ago.

    How quaint...such a lovely Autumn feel! I love antique malls and can spend hours pouring through the stalls. I think I would've brought home those Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls! Have a great week, xjosie
