Shop til you drop

I do not shop on black Friday but I did take one of my granddaughters shopping today to select her delayed birthday present.  She wanted a Vera Bradley backpack and the nearest store selling VB products is in a small nearby town called Grabill.  As we were driving to Grabill I was explaining to my granddaughter that the shop we were going to was a combination flea market, antique shoppe, and giant grandma's attic.  It's amazing the stuff you can find there.
To my delight, It turns out she loves exploring lots and lots of stuff so we spent hours roaming from room to room, looking, laughing, wondering "who would ever buy..." then turning right around and finding something we had to buy.
An added bonus - no huge crowds, no parking problems, and time for a yummy hot chocolate treat.  Oh yes, we did find the perfect VB backpack..
