First Fridays in the West Bottoms

If you live in the KC area and haven't visited the West Bottoms during First Friday weekends, you're missing out.  Lots of warehouses have had new life breathed into them as they now hold stores with booths full of wonderful little goodies.  Everything from antiques to handmade.  If I could go every First Friday I would.

When walking around the buildings, I tend to enjoy the buildings themselves as much as (if not more than) the stuff they hold.  Some of the buildings are simpler but some have some beautiful woodwork and iron.  We even got to ride in one of the awesome old-school elevators this time.  I've seen people wandering around with cameras, but I just snapped these with my phone because I couldn't resist.

I scored six of these lovelies for just $30 and they are going to be holding spices with sweet labels...once I get to work on them.
