Spirit of Christmas Store in Banff

So, I was on Vacation in Alberta last week, and two doors down from our hotel was THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS STORE. Lucky for my my fiancé let me roam around for nearly an hour and I got a heap of photos to share.

You can see the whole album here, but these are a few of my favourites:

It's a Christmas Village Building Factory!!! LOL
I was sad it really wouldn't match my Victorian-style village - but what a hoot!

And what I ended up buying:

Yes, it is expensive, which is why I couldn't buy a house or building, just the tea cart...
it is a year-round store! I should have given the link to their site:

It's all very beautiful Chantelle. To be able to visit a Christmas store in the middle of summer is such a treat to me :hopxmas: Lucky you :elf3::elf3::elf3:

at nearly 50% humidity - it's pretty unbearible out right now in Toronto.

50% Humidity? I would take that ANY day of the week. We're comfortable when the humidity gets down to 50%!! Today it will be around 70-75% humidity here!! It's like a steamroom outside!
