Wow! January flew by, and so did our time at Market! We had so much fun (if you saw the photos on Facebook you know we had a blast!) and bought sooo much fun stuff.
There is a lot of work and stress involved in purchasing (and a lot of aching feet), but amidst all that stress there are always some fun moments. I think the Market knows how hard we work and they try to provide a few moments for us to enjoy. “Christmas Tree Man” not only provided a smile, but also invited us to a cocktail reception. (Of course, he was inviting everyone, and so, as Murphy’s Law goes, the food ran out just as we stepped up to be served.) We did, however, enjoy the time to sit and laugh with other buyers.
And then sometimes when you are buying, you’re so busy that you skip lunch and breakfast, and your brain starts “malfunctioning.” Products start all looking the same and you forget where and what you saw that appeals to you. You and your sales person go on a roll and just start pointing and scanning your order. That’s when you end up with things like this on your order. Oops!! Not exactly what I meant to purchase. (Not exactly the classy look we like in our store!)
We are always grateful to those who protect and serve us. These officers work so hard to control Dallas traffic and us aggressive buyers. This guy went over and above by also providing us some comic relief. (Notice the Pillsbury Dough Boy hands)
Be assured, we did find some classy products, and will be sharing them with you in the coming weeks. For now, mark your calendars for our Spring Event, March 22-26.
