As if they would fit on this rack anyways...Why didn't I make it bigger while I was at it?
I am loving that black flower pin/hair clip I bought for a buck. My mother and sister-in-law don't know what they have started. I will demand to go back every time I visit there now. Ha!
Small digression: I just thought I would give you a peek while I'm at it of my bathroom counter next to my sink. I have the long big counter space in our bathroom. Tone has the small sink and vanity on the other side. Obviously this makes sense. Duh. We are talking about me here. My makeup bag, straightener and blowdryer are on the other side of the sink. CLEARLY, all of this is necessary, right?
Ehem. CLEARLY. So how do I look? I never step out of the house without some funky jewelry on. I feel like I'm not quite complete without it. Even if it's just simple like this. Ok, well I just blew in from the homeschool park day before taking this picture. The hair has some blown away pieces out of the pony tail.
You know what's not simple? Trying to get a photo of yourself in the mirror and get the camera to focus on just the right spot. 50 shots later...I got this one and called it quits. One odd quirk about me? One eye is a lot bigger than the other when I smile and I only have one dimple. Just thought I'd point it out while I'm at it. I'm lopsided.
Anyhow, moving on. That was WAY too much excitement for me. It would be very very dangerous to have one of those stores here. I couldn't believe what you could find on the clearance racks in the regular stores either.





Hunter was just as excited and benefited from the better shopping in Missouri as well. Mom and I found these Lego sets at Walmart while we were shopping for 40% off! That's crazy! He had asked for a castle Lego set, and I had told him no because we just couldn't afford it. I mean, Legos might as well be gold the way they are priced. But I guess we can at Missouri clearance prices. I was so excited to surprise him with it! We never never have clearances like that here. He was so excited, and built the whole thing as soon as we got home yesterday. Daddy helped a bit.
I'm not really a fan of the spot he chose - right in the middle of my living space for me to step over, but I guess for one day...
So there are some highlights of my trip. Actually, the fun I had with my Mom, sister and her best friend was my highlight, but when four women are let loose on the town without men or kids, well, you act a bit crazy and silly. Looking back on some of the things we did and said, well, unless you were in the moment, it's probably best left unsaid. The freedom probably prompted a bit of hysteria. Ha!

Mom also found this cute little yellow shirt for Tessa for a buck. A buck I tell you! Tessa is chilling in her usual spot on the quilt I made her. Actually, you can use the word "quilt" loosely here. I bought a soft blanket at Walmart for $8 to use as a backing, cut some large squares from scraps, sewed them together, and sewed it to the blanket. It took me all of an hour. It's so small I only top stitched around the edges and called it good. Yep, when I'm not sewing for my shop, I get lazy. (One more small digression: Tessa is almost 15 pounds already. Uh huh. She's certainly hefty and at the top of her growth chart. I didn't know we could make chunky babies after the last two skinny ones.)

But now I am home with a bunch of shoe orders waiting for me to sew and get out. That thought is such a killjoy. Oh Ugh.
I am instantly sobered.
Come to Texas. Shopping is amazing.
ReplyDeleteDearest Hunter, That is a sweet tattoo. ;o) I'm glad you guys had fun. You deserve a break, every now and then.
ReplyDeleteAwesome find on the Lego sets! At least your eyes are open in pictures! Both of mine are always closed when I smile.
