The Last Ruby Tuesday for 2008!
I took this in Solvang, California in the Fall of 2007.
For more Ruby Tuesday visit our hostess Mary at Work of the Poet!
Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007 to 2015 hostage and has replaced them all with ugly black and grey boxes asking for a ransom to have them re-published. Such a frustrating bother as I go through each post to delete the ugly boxes.

What a lovely shot!!
Ah, lovely photograph. Makes me want to go shopping.
Love the photo. Man, I love Solvang. Haven’t been in far too long. Making mental note!
Amazing pic!
Majestic and intriguing, I want to go inside a have a look.
Most likely my purse is too shallow for shopping this time of year.
I am also curious about the name Solvang. It’s an entirely Norwegian name, not even Scandinavian.
Sol = sun – vang = hillside/ view site.
Would that be the name of the owners of the antique shop?

wow! WHERE in Solvang? That’s another road trip we need to take! Solvang!
Oh WOW! You shoulda SAVED that one for the SIGN Ruby Tuesday! LOL! Ohhhhhhh wellllllllll…. you’ll find another! That’s a good one though!
Dear ellen b,
I looked up Solvang, a wonderful Danish city in county Santa Barbara.
The houses and the windmill, all like you still can find them in Denmark.
The name, however, Solvang ,I cannot even find at Google other places than in Norway.
Mysterious.
I’d like to visit both Santa Barbara and the sweet Danish town there.

A lovely shot of the red Antiques sign to sign off Ruby Tuesday this year.
Here’s wishing you a Happy 2009 with great health and peace 🙂
Nice door posts Ellen B.
I hope you’re feeling more relaxed since all the parties are over. Oops! Are they? We still have New Years to celebrate.
Hopefully your getting some rest near a big window.

What lovely details, Ellen! A perfect parting Ruby Tuesday shot for 2008!
Have a great evening!
The red is perfect for Tuesdays, of course. But what attracts me is the ornate and exquisite carved wood lions that are protecting the entrance. I’d be enticed to enter this shop because of the well detailed entrance. Happy New Year!
Very nice and a great choice for RT.
What a fabulous door! It really makes you want to come right in and browse, certain of the treasures to be found.
Wow….what an impressive door/entry to an antique shoppe!!!
I wanted to stop by and send along my wishes for you and the new year. Hope that 2009 brings great stuff for you. In all ways.
Solvang!!! We stopped there during our honeymoon in 1979. I don’t remember if we have been there since. I don’t think so though. We gotta try to go there again. I am sure it has changed since 1979.
Perfect Ruby Tuesday shot, ellen! You have a jump on us all – RED sign! The architectural detal is extraordinary! 🙂
amazing entrance and your capture of it is perfect!
That looks very inviting, though in a slightly eerie kind of way. Nice capture.
Hi there, Ellen! So glad to catch up with you at last and see you’re enjoying a wonderful holiday! We’re just back from our Christmas trip and getting over the jet lag and settling in…ringing in 2009 will be quiet here-LOL! Wishing you & yours love & joy in the New Year! ((HUGS))
A great finale photo for 2008! Surely looks antique and classic! Enjoy your week!
Lovely photo!!
Terrific shot! Great definition, contrast and composition…
I’d shop there (if I shopped).
What a gorgeous entrance! Nice shot too!
Beautiful entrance way to the antiques shop. So inviting. My husband thought those were carved wood lions? I immediately thought carved gargoyles.
Ah, well, I guess he’s right!
Happy Ruby Tuesday
Lovely photo. I like the way the street fades into the distance, making the doorway that much more important. Nice! And thanks for visiting.
Lovely photograph! I haven’t visited Solvang in a very long time, but used to go there often for delicious pastries ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
