Shop 'Til You Drop- Part 3

Day 2- We got a late start becuase we were waiting on Aunt Robin to return from the doctor with Jim. They had an appointment to find out the results his scan so we sat around anxiously awaiting a phone call, praying it was good news. Finally about 11:00 we received the call- great news- the tumors had shrunk considerably- the oncologist was ecstatic, she even commented about how she had been on vacation and when she got back she was looking over the report late the night before and almost called because she was so excited- but she thought better of it and waited- and of course we all were thinking 'We wish you had called!' After the great news- we headed to the mart for another full day of shopping. This time, we learned how to get around security, so the stroller wasn't an issue. Leslie and I walked around the 13th floor is called "Children's World", it has every store you can think of. The first store we went into was Rosalina's and we even had hopes they would let us buy stuff, even if it had to be ordered, we could get it at wholesale, so we didn't care. I asked how much the minimum was to open an account and she said $100- I thought that was fair and then she proceeded to tell me that everything had to be ordred in 3's. It could be 3 different sizes, but it had to be 3 of one style dress. :( Bummer! So Leslie and I just daydreamed as we window shopped the floor of opening a baby boutique... We also passed a Feltman Bros store- It wasn't very big, but it was filled entirely with Feltman, my Nana would have been in heaven.

We had so much fun, and I think we definitely spent the bank. Ava, of course, scored the most, she got jewelry, clothes, more jewelry, more clothes and she even got a couple of puppets. She even had a couple of exhibitors give her some things to play with. Leslie got a little taste of what it is like to go anywhere with her in tow. She had picked her up at one point and was carrying her and had at least 10 people commented to her about Ava- she kept pointing toward me a few steps ahead- and saying- 'that's her mom'- LOL. We even had one offer to trade her for a sample!

After we left the mart, which closes at 6:00, we went to the mall to Janie and Jack since I had a gift card to that store and absolutely LOVE the store. There isn't one around here, I think the closest store is in Orlando and then Atlanta. So we went to the Rich Person's mall as we label it- Phipps is actually the real name, but in this mall they have all the upper end stores. This mall had a Tiffany & Co. in it and we actually took care of some business in there, but more to come on that....

After visiting Tiffanys and Janie and Jack, we headed over to another mall to eat dinner and then back to the house to call it a night. We were all worn out and I think I actually made it to bed before midnight, but just barely.
