Some people love hiking, kayaking, or boating on vacation.
Me? Give me a few bucks, put me in a town that has lots of shops, and I'm happier than a lark.
Rockport, Massachusetts, is chock-full of interesting little shops.
The prices of items in some of them would raise your eyebrows, but others have affordable treasures.
These days, my purchases are mostly for grand kids.
These sparkling, spinning thing-a-ma-jigs fascinated but with self-restraint, they remained in the shop.
This pretty glass seahorse appealed to me but I didn't bring him, either.
A sweatshirt, for fall, on a clearance rack in one shop, did make it into my shopping bag.
