The Surprise Is Inside

 I rarely do blog posts on the homes I photograph... they have to be historic or unusual..  This one qualifies with its unusual floor plan/architecture.   Here's the listing if you want to see more about it.  Just went online today.   http://www.kansascityhomes.com/Lees-Summit/102-NW-HACKBERRY-St-Lees-Summit-MO_64064/2023579.aspx

A Princess Return

 The Fairy Princess has returned to the Kansas City Museum for another years.  This is Princess Anna. http://kcmo.gov/kansascitymuseum/fairy-princess/

                                    Storytelling, crafts, cookies, gift bags, and a Princess Visit.

                                                        Story telling in the Library.

 Wave the wand, say the magic word...and the chest opens to reveal a special gift for each child.
