Of Handbags and Ice Cream and Grit

Haney Circle

January 3: Last year, when we spent a week on the opposite Florida coast, our favorite local spot was Armand Circle, a chic little shopping area on Lido Key. The equivalent on the Treasure Coast is Haney Circle in Stuart, which has a similar blend of curio shops, clothiers and eateries, and similarly has benches outside nearly all of them for codgers to sit while their wives browse inside.

"Abundance" graces the rotary at Colorado and Osceola, known as Haney Circle.

At Two States Estate Jewelers and Decorative Arts, Mary Frances bought a new handbag, which she loaded from the old one over lunch at Osceola Street Cafe:

Mary F. and her brand-new bag.

Another favorite stop was Hoffman's Chocolate and Ice Cream, where the ladies tried samples of each, and made noises we haven't heard since...well, for a long time.

Later, we took in the Coen Brothers' version of True Grit at the Regal Treasure Coast Mall, with generally positive reviews.

And...a long day means a short blog...more later.
