That sounds like a lovely day! It's fun to peruse local shops like that. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the story/vibe of the business and walk out with more than you bargained for. : ) The spice shop reminded me of one I used to visit in the Jean Talon market in Montreal. They had such incredible blends. I feel my Dad around sometimes too, especially this year when we visited his memorial in Sedona at the Buddhist peace park.
