MY NEW FAVORITE SHOPS

It was bad enough when I just had the one consignment store, right next to my favorite taco joint, where I eat lunch at least once or twice a week. But now that I've found that new one over in Dripping Springs, I'm afraid things may get out of hand. Why, just this week alone I've found this...

and this...

The bread and veggie sections are held together with small pieces of velcro, and when they slide the "knife" between them, they can slice them apart, just like Mom and Dad!

and this...

in gender-neutral colors, no less!

And then, of course, there were the two, barely-worn pairs of shoes that I got for 1/4 the cost of that one pair that came from the nice children's shoe store -- the ones he'd only worn a handful of times before he'd outgrown them!

I'm thinkin' maybe I need to set some limits on how often I'm allowed to visit these shops, huh?
