I Love Mushrooms | Vintage Holiday Images and Retro Mushroom Artwork

I am fascinated by mushrooms. It started about 25 years ago when we were first married and everyone would ask me what type of theme I'd decorated the kitchen with....as IF I had decorating skills, ha ha. Somehow it was one of those things that just bypassed my brain and I never even thought about picking out a certain scheme of any kind. However, once I'd seen endless collections of apple, grapes and strawberries sprawled across my friend's kitchens it made me decide I had to have something totally opposite, and so I choose 'shrooms.

Makemie Memorial Presbyterian Church | Snow Hill, Maryland

While visiting the town of Snow Hill for the annual Blessing of the Combines, I had the opportunity to walk over and take a few photographs of this lovely church next to the county courthouse. Architecturally stunning in on many levels from the outside, I set a goal of returning in the near future to attend a service here as well as to view the interior. Buildings like these are commonly found across the Delmarva Peninsula, however not all are this well maintained and sadly, many houses of worship are being lost. This one was simply a visual delight with all the details, brickwork and design elements!
