There's a lot of interesting architecture in Kansas City. It is typical of other large cities settled in the midwest in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Indianapolis, Indiana and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
This is a turreted corner of an old building in downtown KC. The building has been restored and seems to be in use as an office building on the main level and apartments on the upper floors.


Country Club Plaza was built in the style of Spain and shows a lot of Spanish/Moorish influence, such as this light sconce.

This is a ribbon display at Paper Source, a wonderful paper supply store on the plaza.

Despite my mouth watering, I purchased none of the above. In fact, I only got three rubber stamps at the whole store. You'll see why in a moment.

These fellows seemed to be acquainted with Lesley for some reason. Hmm.

The reason I was able to exercise such restraint at the Paper Source is because I'd already blown enough cash at All About Scrapbooking. But what a lot of lovely things! I did get grungeboard and will try to give a review of it for those of you interested parties. I also got the package of Basic Grey ribbons at half price, and a discount on one of the stamp pads. Check out the cute K & Company brads. The package at the bottom that didn't come out well is a set of transparencies from 7Gypsies.

I am feeling quite a bit better today although still dealing with a very sensitive stomach and a general aversion to food and food smells. Should be good for my diet!

Have a great Thursday, everyone.
