it's kind of a big deal


hunt and gather, that is.


you pretty much know you're gonna like it from even before you step inside.


probably because you get greeted by a bin of vintage plastic santas!!! be still, my heart.


and a table full of greenery in old tins and thermos jugs.


inside, it's even more amazing. pretty much the whole shop was 'done up' for christmas. there were bins and bins of ornaments.


and even more santas and frostys. it was one of the most amazing stores i have ever been to. we spent awhile there (an hour or two? i forget...) and i just walked around with my happy face on. kristie had her happy face on too. we must have looked silly. if we did, kirsten did not say anything. who takes photos in a store?! WE DO. ;-)





i spent $19 for a pocket full of dreams. i brought back some vintage plastic ornaments, and this little guy. watch out, elephants are just about to be HUGE. i am getting ready for it.





it was a wonderful thing.

That deer looks jealous. You'd better keep an eye on the little guy.

Thought of you this afternoon. Go see why!

Ok - just had to laugh - was just in the middle of sending over "where is this store??? I have to go." Then clicked on link and it is in my own town, in the building of a former, favorite haunt. Will need to take a jaunt down to south mpls. thanks friend for the tip.

Totally unrelated to this post, but wanted you to know that my neighbor was user his leaf blower to clear his sidewalks last night. He did not do mine.

susan, that is so funny. you definitely SHOULD GO. i am going to go again after the season, to see what it looks like sans santas.
