Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! This week I'm sharing some of my brother's photographs. He lives about 3 hours away from me in the Sierra Foothills.
He took these photos near his home at a beautiful shopping center called El Dorado Hills Town Center in El Dorado Hills, California.
When my brother moved to this area in 1997 the land this shopping center is on was just a prairie!

I hope you enjoyed your little trip to the El Dorado Town Center!

Hi Cindy, what a gorgeous area, looks like something from Tuscany. Thanks for hosting, have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting! Love those pics!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful Cindy. My husband and I were looking at a shopping center in the news near LA and we were marveling at how it was so beautiful. It looked like Walt Disney World. Sounds silly but, our shopping areas are not that spectacular. Beautiful spot! Thank you for hosting!

Nice of your brother to share such great pictures. Thanks for hosting today. I discovered (and I am sure many others have too) iPiccy. Today. Spent hours making collages. Sure missed Picnik but iPiccy does just about the same (and a bit more and a bit less).
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful that you're hosting another party. Thank you so very much. I'm now following and look forward to seeing you over at Quirky Vistas sometime as well!

PS: Loved the tour. It was fun to see the sights.
Looks like it would be a wonderful place to visit! Thanks for hosting again this week, Laura

ReplyDeleteThank you for being a gracious hostess,
Kathy

Thanks Cindy. Your brother shared some great pictures. I added egg baskets and metal frogs this week.
ReplyDeleteHey...that's one of my favorite shopping areas and so close to where I live. I'll be there tomorrow with my family at the Regal Cinema for the grand opening of The Avengers! How funny is that?? What a small world we live in :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Cindy,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful landscaping there. What a beautiful place to shop.

Very pretty. I love the trend of outdoor shopping areas with landscaping and patios incorporated.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting week after week, Cindy!

Thanks for hosting. What a pretty area, I thought at first it was France or Italy. Little Bit from www.DecorateWithaLittleBit.com
ReplyDeleteHello and good morning! I love bunnies, but I don't love it when they are eating my plants. I wanted to deter them away from mine with a Garden Critter Deterrent (#255) that's doesn't hurt the furry ones. Thanks to some Garlic Salt and Chili Pepper-no more bunnies! Thanks for hosting the party once again. Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteWow, El Dorado Hills looks so different from the days we visited friends there. We used to live in Placerville!
That was about 28+ years ago.....
Thanks for photos...at least the "urban sprawl" was done with taste....
Come for a visit to my little blog....

When they really try, they can put together some wonderful shopping spaces. That is gorgeous. My family lives in California and when I visit we shop at The Grove, Dos Lagos and Victoria Gardens. They are beautiful, master planned shopping experiences. Victoria Gardens has snow in Winter, outdoor movies and more. It's great!! Thanks for hosting =)
ReplyDeleteCindy those pics are gorgeous! Thanks so much for hosting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful area your brother lives in. It is just charming. Thanks for sharing those wonderful photos. Would love to move there. Also Thanks for hosting. I appreciate your parties so much.

Cindy, I enjoyed looking at those photos! I want to go there! You'd think where I live in SoCal, we might have a lot of shopping, because our county is pretty big but, in my enclave, we don't even have a darn Farmer's Market, yet we're surrounded by things growing in the fields. I would so love to shop somewhere as beautiful as El Dorado. It looks so European; what a refreshing change from big, blocky, boxy stores and chains. We might as well make our areas as beautiful as we can, even if it's the corner drugstore.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, I don't think I have ever seen such a lovely shopping center! You took some great pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting every week. :)

What a beautiful post for the town I work in. I sell real estate for Century 21 in ELDH. It's a fun place to work, shop, eat, great variety of eateries. I love it here even though I live in Placerville.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy for the opportunity to share my photographs of the town and thanks to all for the positive feedback on the photographs.
