A Gathering of Friends
Today was a big day, a gathering of what I call Occasional Salers – those who operate occasional sales and their devoted shoppers. That’s right, it’s A Gathering of Friends, held twice a year at Bachman’s Garden Center in Minneapolis. When I arrived 10 minutes before it opened, there was already a line….
And the one that got away…..

Yes, I thought this would work for my jewelry, but I didn’t spring on it right away. When I went back to look at it, someone was putting a SOLD sign on it. Oh well : (
I’ll be headed back to the sale tomorrow, too. An occasional shopping tip: often there are so many things to look at, that you discover something you love only after a couple of walks through the space. Or the next day, when things have been sold, revealing great items that had been buried in a display. And word has it, this sale gets restocked!
Enjoy the day!
À demain,
