I have a sweet tooth…always have and fear I always will. Do you?
While in the Mt. Shasta area in May of this year doing some Night Sky imaging with my good friend T she and I stopped in McCloud for lunch and a walk-about. Lunch was delicious and I wish now that I had the will power to slow down to make an image of my sandwich. I was too hungry and now regret that I didn’t make an image of it or write down the ingredients in it because it was THE BEST VEGGIE sandwich I have ever had! However, being a door addict… I can admit that with a straight face, and no shame. I did take a photo of the McCloud Candy Shoppe doors! Thank you T for going along with the walk-about! Pssst! It won’t be long before I convert her to the beauty and wonder of doors. She’s been picking up rocks that she thinks I’ll love, and pointing them out to me if thinks I missed one for years. You guys know how much I love rocks right? She got it straight-away. Can you say Kindred Spirit? Yeah, you know what I’m talkinbout! Don’tcha love friends like this? There are never enough of them are there? I can count them on one hand! I digress. Here’s the McCloud Candy Shoppe doors. Look at that wood! The red paneling is frosting on the cake right? Right! I love the pine swag and old time tins on top too. Have I ever shared that I collect and save tins, glass jars, bottles, and kitchen stuff? No. Ah, well I do, and there’s lots I wish I had!
There are Bonus doors too! The doors that lead to the shoppe!
Here’s something else you might not know about me. I love chocolate, and am super self conscience and shy about taking photos inside stores, of people, and on the street! There was lots of candy, and oodles of photo ops inside the store, but I was too chicken self conscience to take any photos inside the store. 😦 Put me in the country, jungle, or under a night sky and I can shoot all day, and night, but in a store, studio, or a city street. Not so much.
So you’ll have venture in for your Rocky Road, Yum Yum, Chicken Stick, or Orange Creme ahead of me this time.

My little girl is a rock collector. There is so much beauty and variation in rocks. I adore your selection of doors this week! I am glad you put yourself out there and took the photo in that cool shop!
Yeah, another kindred spirit who likes rocks!
Thank you so much Antonia!
Love it 😀
I like your post 😊.
Oops, the doors looked like a cabinet! I didn’t realize since I’m sleepy and tend to post doors that don’t always lead into a building or house. . . I was thinking outside the box, Deborah! xo 💐
I knew what you meant! 🙂
I knew there would be something delicious in this post! Oh, what a fabulous cabinet with real woodwork and the red paneling. . .I think blogging has made me more freer and you need to remember the next generation are going to take even more photos. I don’t blame your shyness, but honestly I dare you to step outside your comfort zone. Take it from miss congeniality, everyone’s next door neighbor: “It feels good to be ‘bad’ ” 😀
ps. My grandies love rocks and shells 🐚🌰 so we have them ready for you, in each “car pocket,” Deborah.
🙂
What beautiful doors and they look so inviting to the delicious treats inside!! 🍫 Love chocolate too! 😊
Ooooh that beautiful, rich wood-grain! Marvelous choice, Deborah. I can imagine the treat it was to go inside. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs on the wing!
🙂 It was a delicious visit that’s for sure! Hugs on the wing right back atcha!
Actually those doors, so inviting haha
Love that door! Yumm I also think chocolate is the best!
🙂 Me too! Thank you so much Lynn!
Most welcome ❤️❤️
Those are some beautiful doors! And I’m sure there were tons of tasty treats contained behind them!!!
There was! I was pretty good and bought a small piece of Rocky Road, and some old time hard candies. “)
Those are beautiful doors and no calories…until you get inside. 🙂 You’d love place where I work a few shifts a week now: https://www.lechocolatdubouchard.com/. I have to say, though, even though I love chocolate and I’m working on the chocolate/pastry side, I don’t really crave most of what’s there, even though it’s delicious. Probably a good thing or I’d be putting on weight like mad. I think it’s just being around it for 6-7 hours, although I wouldn’t mind eating one of the pain au chocolat when we have them! 🙂 My sweet tooth is for not-so-sweet things, so while I like glazed and cake doughnuts, for instance, the though of a filled doughnut makes my teeth stand on end (if that can actually be applied to teeth.)

Oh I would love that shop! I think the savory side of it too would suit my taste bugs just fine! charcuterie platters, crepes, seafood, and classic French entrees such as Beouf Bourguignon, Croque Monsieur, and Coquilles St. Jacques! Sign me up! 🙂
I’ve never tried any of the savory things, but they sound delicious. I’m glad I’m working on “my” side, though, and not as a server!
Love the rustic doors to the shop! As usual am behind on my comments, and I kind of didn’t know how to answer your question about Rosh Hashanah. I guess, I feel like this New Year, is more a New Year in the year, because without fail changes are taking place in my life between Aug -Oct. The advantage is that after this I can focus on Crhistmas, because the more grandkids, the more prep:)
Lots of changes and new beginnings are starting for me and my children right now too. Coincidence? Yes, I too am looking forward to things wrapping up so I can focus on a couple of birthdays, and Christmas! 🙂
Give me five!
^5! 🙂
I seriously plan to photograph all my food, but sometimes I am too hungry to remember my own intentions! I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but when I really want sweets, I can be unstoppable in my plans to acquire them! 🙂 Ice cream is my thing!
I love the sheen on the wood of these doors. I’d be lured in for ice cream absolutely 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
There was an ice cream shop in the back! What’s your favorite flavor ice cream?
Impossible to choose! 😛
If I can’t choose my “go to” is Rocky Road bottom scoop and Orange Sherbet as the top scoop. 🙂
I admire your quirky combo — both delicious! 🙂
Nice doors Deborah;nad, yeah I would have loved seeing that sandwich! And those chocolates. Remember, most businesses love the free advertising they will get from your photos. 😉I am nervous about photographing people though cuz…just cuz. I’d like to see some of those rocks. I collected rocks when I was young. Finding a piece of quartz was, to my young mind, tantamount tofinding. Gold nugget!
The bread was so fresh, it was wheat, and there was cream cheese, avocado, tomatoes, it was good!
I like all kinds of rocks, but I love the smooth ones that fit just right in my hand. They’re perfect for rubbing and worrying. 🙂
You must love river pebbles! 😊
Oh yes, I do! 🙂 It’s so hard not to come home with pockets full of rocks.
I totally get it.
Beautiful photograph! I love photographing doors too, doors say so much about a building. I love the “open” sign in the window, it’s the icing on the cake so to speak, in my opinion.
Thank you so much Debra! I’m glad you like the door, and it’s neat to find out that you’re a door lover too! 🙂
I curse my sweet tooth! It has completely ruined my lifelong dream to be model thin 😉
A door leading into a candy shop should be beautiful and this one is! I’m not sure about the greenery along the top though. It reminds me of Christmas and I don’t want to start thinking about that already.
I’m not much of a collector of stuff, but visually I am attracted to groupings of tins, bottles, etc. … and yes to rocks 🙂
I like the groupings of the those things too, but don’t really have the space for it, so my collection is in boxes, and filling an entire cupboard. I’ve really had to pare it down and get rid of duplicates because I lack the space for all I want or would have.
… and that’s exactly why I avoid collecting things. I simply don’t have the space.
I considered getting rid of all my husband’s stuff, but I think he’d be offended 😉
🙂
Thanks for sharing the doors from this visit, Deborah. I love that entrance. When I first looked at it, I thought is was a cabinet, the details in the woodwork are so beautiful. I also understand the “oops, I should have taken a photo before I ate that” feeling after you’re halfway through a sandwich. Rocks, doors, tins, jars, chocolate… those all sound prett good to me.
T and I have said we’re going to stop and eat or pick up another one of those sandwiches the next time we pass by there. I’ll have to be strong and get a photo first.
I’m glad you like the door. I thought the wood would appeal to you. 🙂
The doors were a treat to see.
I felt very self-conscious taking a picture of my dinner the other night. I was eating at the bar, but I knew I’d want a picture for my post, because when I don’t have one, people ask. So, I took out the phone, took the picture and dug in.
🙂
That’s one handsome door leading to a culinary delight. I am a chocolate addict and blame it on the fact that I grew up next door to a small candy store. It can’t be my fault that I can’t pass up a piece of chocolate. 🙂
Thank you Judy! Oooh I would have spent my whole allowance in the candy store if I had lived next door to one, and be hooked on chocolate and more for sure. 🙂
