Whimsy and Wonder #68- Just Walking Around (Nineteen)

Today's Whimsy and Wonder is walking through a winter wonderland. There's something special about experiencing the first snowfall of the season.

 

Whimsy and Wonder #67- December Days of Delights, Three

I always enjoy showing people around some festive sights during the holidays- like The Benson's gingerbread masterpiece...,

... Pioneer Courthouse Square's Christmas Tree...,

... and the Christmas Ships Parade.

Whimsy and Wonder #66- December Days of Delights, Two

  

A whimsy and wonder walk today saw a miniature Christmas display- festive!...,

... an interesting looking house..., 

 

... and a couple Little Free Libraries.

 

Whimsy and Wonder #65- December Days of Delights, One

Today was a double dose of whimsy and wonder. I enjoyed walking past this display of giant bears in Sellwood. It's as they say, festive.

Whimsy and Wonder #64- Share-It Square

On my walk today, I found myself in Sellwood where I was able to stop by one of my most favorite places Share-It Square (Sherrett St. intersection) which is definitely a source of whimsy and wonder.

 

 

Whimsy and Wonder #63- Delicious Delights

 

I went to Matcha Cafe Maiko PDX because they have ube back for a limited time. I got the mixed Matcha and Ube Maiko Special (description below) which reminded me a bit of Halo Halo. It added a bit more of whimsy and wonder on this already nice day.

 

 

Maiko Special (Mixed)- Both matcha and vanilla cream together along with matcha chiffon, chestnuts, and shiratama mochi

For breakfast, I was intrigued with Doe Donuts' savory special- spaghetti and garlic bread (description below). It made me want someone to make fresh pan de sal brushed on top with butter and garlic served with Filipino spaghetti.

 

 

Spaghetti + Garlic Bread- it's savory! filled with spaghetti noodles x house made marinara x garlic butter breadcrumbs x parsley
