Picture Perfect of New England *
Mimi's Books * La Petite France

After lunch at John Henry’s (not a new visit), we checked out Picture Perfect of New England, an art and frame shop. We meant to just go in and poke around, but we met the owner, Mike, who had lots to say about the arts in Stafford and the surrounding area. He was very chatty and interesting, but a bit long winded. Strolling further along Main Street, we visited Mimi’s Books on the corner of Main and Spring Streets. She has mostly hardcover books, some probably quite valuable, most in great condition. The prices were pretty good and I broke down and bought one. Then across the street was La Petite France, a bakery. Bob couldn't resist a chocolate croissant which was so-so. ($5 book, $1.75 croissant) (Jan)
