The other day my mom had some business to attend to in Carbondale, CO. I decided to go along with her for the ride, and spent some time walking around the town while she took care of business.

I visited a few local thrift stores, including this cute one:

I also took a visit to the only coffee shop in town, a place called The Lift.

The had a lovely bookcase wall, and also a spacious sitting area.

I got my usual, an iced americano, and sat outside to watch the people passing by.

I also took a stroll to the local bookstore, and admired their lovely flower box, and also their adorable handmade sign.

PS What’s your favorite thing about exploring a new town? Are there certain kinds of stores, or other things that you look out for? I would love to know!
