Shop til the Salesgirl drops. . . .

or goes crazy.  Annie has been in such a great mood lately, so Jo, my mother-in-law, dementiamama and Annie went shopping.  As we were trolling the mall we decided to go into Coldwater Creek, beautiful stuff for the mature ladies.  Well they also have knick knacks and Annie loves herself a knick knack.  Little bowls that were displayed and came in a set to buy really caught her eye.  Throughout the time spent in Coldwater Annie managed to approach the same saleswoman five times asking the same question, "Can I buy this bowl?"  the saleswoman repeated the same information "why no it comes in a set."  I of course just stood back and watched, maybe I should have stepped in but it was too much fun watching some sort of take on a Seinfeld episode. (Annie the equivalent of Kramer maybe).  My mom hates it when I speak for her so I decided to go with the flow.  You could tell the saleswoman was confounded as to why this woman kept asking her the same damn question.  To the credit of the saleswoman she was polite everytime without getting frustrated.  Each time Annie would take the answer do her little "hmm" with a smile and walk over to another set of bowls.  Two thumbs up for Coldwater Creek and trained staff for great customer service.   Here is a link to the bowls as you can see they are quite cute.  Anyone wishing to donate don't hesitate to contact us. (kidding of course) Annie would be so happy.    http://www.coldwatercreek.com/Products/Detail.aspx?productid=50476&ensembleid=56543&colorid=000&refLink=decorative-items.aspx  As you can see from the picture above Annie still loves, and has a flair, for decorating.  After the mall of course we had to dine on some delightful crab croissants hmmmm delicious.
