Goodbye Pretty City

Chicago

a new city on my list of favorites


this is my last post about this visit

but I can continue for weeks ~ I think this city is very photogenic and pretty so I took hundreds of pictures


from beautiful downtown and it's metro stations

to lovely neighborhoods like Wicker Park, Bucktown, Old Town and Lincoln Park


I can recommend it all

lunch at cafe Milk and Honey ~ across the street from Nina's beautiful shop, a perfect combination

coffee and sweets at TipsyCake

take out dinner from the Goddess and Grocer


fill your home with flowers from a new leaf


and I must admit

both these pretty homes and the gorgeous flower shop do remind me of Amsterdam...


bye bye beautiful Chicago ~ hope to see you again soon

~

for you sweeties in the Netherlands, enjoy the amazing winter weather, ice skating and sun

wishing you all an amazing weekend!

  4. I love Chicago too, my favorite town. I grew up in Chicago and the city is very different now than it was in the 60's . @0 years ago I would never have walked around Wicker Park or Bucktown, but now I love to take long walks around the city. My son lives in Hyde Park [ by University of Chicago] and my brother lives in Bucktown. Glad you enjoyed the city. I hope to be walking the sidewalks and soaking all of the beautiful city in around tulip time.
