CHRISTMAS STUFF

Favorite collectibles~all spindly legs and bulging bellies.

Magnificent Victorian glitter fest snow babies.

Porcelain Victorian ornament/doll.

Sparkling crystal earrings and necklace.

Vintage patent leather envelope clutch.

Enormous emerald ring, on account of I like to put on airs.

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS "STUFF" FINDS~for me, of course~on account of who knows me better than me does? And because I'm so generous, money was no object.

Brenda is my favorite. She owns Just a Bed of Roses, which is also my favorite. Both favorites. My sisters and mom and friends celebrate all chick holidays by a visit to her threshold. We even set goals together. This year, we decided I need to work at wearing more necklaces. Now how many shop owners do YOU know that are this vested in the betterment of their clientele? None, people. 'Cept for Brenda. Only thing wrong with her is she celebrates with Christmas spiders. I know. Really, really creepy.

But she deserves to be forgiven this one heinous flaw. So take a flying leap to Farmington and get your own stuff. Then you wrap it up and put it under your tree, and tag it to you from your own husband, which is basically like hiding it in plain sight. You won't even have to shove it behind your dresses in the closet, and then bring it out a few months later, acting surprised that he's never noticed it before now.

Not that I've ever done that.

You're weird.

my favorite is when I finally take it OUT of the closet and wear it... he asks "is that new?" and I saw "oh this, I've had it for MONTHS"...

like the shoes I wore Wednesday for the first time since buying them in August :)

whuuut. How can I live next door to Farmington and not know about this shop? I must go.

Lisa said...

Yeah, Damsel, how can you? It's right across from the courthouse. Small, lovely antique shop. Go, and tell me what you buy. It's vicarious shopping pleasure for me.

Oh... you had me at "FINDS ~ for me" ;D Shhh.... you can't give away the SECRETS of hiding and coming out and ... "Oh THIS??? I got it a while back..." *sigh*

Perhaps I'll have to check out Brenda's shop, too. ;D
