FEELING THE SPIRIT

I know. Believe me, I know. But I didn't have this exact shade. The wrong has been righted.

If there is anything black, white, or classic hounds tooth, we seek after these things.

Sheets. Or material for a nightgown. Depends.

Vintage apron that I didn't even have to make! My bread will taste so much better with the 1950's hairdo that I shall sport in order to wear this.


Marshalls department store has arrived in Utah, dear friends. It is a glorious day. A glorious day, indeed. I did my best to give them a fat elbowed welcome, and they in return gave me a dent in my wallet. But I forgive them, because where much is given, much is required—words to shop by, as well as a sound gospel principle.

I asked on Facebook whether or not you can feel the spirit in a department store. The answer is a RESOUNDING YES...if you're as righteous as me. If you haven't ever felt the spirit, well, clearly you're a sinner.

And a bad shopper.

And I feel sorry for you...

...and your posterity.

Might need to baptize you myself.

I actually envy people who can shop like this.
My daughter is one of them - always can find the best stuff at Marshall's and similar stores.
I get confused - ha ha. All those racks, all those clothes. It is hard for me to sort things out and picture what would look good.
Congratulations on your new Marshalls and Happy shopping!

I feel that way everytime I enter a Christmas Tree Shop.

(It's a northern store, and ironicly, contains no christmas trees.)

I usually get verklempt in front of chocolate stores, followed by a "I told myself I wasn't going to do this...."

Holy crap! I need you to help me. I hate to shop. But Christmas is coming and I don't know that it can be avoided anymore. Gulp. Save me!
