Easter

Well I never made it to the antique store yesterday – perhaps today.  Instead I went to downtown Los Altos and walked up and down Main Street while the rain held off. 

I was looking for Easter decorations and Cover Story (where the bunny with the bomb came from) usually has a good selection of Bethany Lowe, Nicol Sayre type things.  I overheard the owner telling another customer that Easter decorations don’t do as well as the other holidays like Christmas or Halloween (not technically a holiday but you know what I mean – it’s a decorating opportunity).

That kind of surprised me – I think the Easter things are really adorable.  The eggs are Wendy Addison and the Easter cart and boxes are Nicol Sayre.   How cute are they?

My niece used to work at Cover Story when she was a teenager and she said that they had a big problem with shoplifters.  Someone actually came in and stole a big old rooster.  Now how do you sneak something like that out?  Whenever I’m in there I feel like they think I’m a shoplifter so I spend the entire time trying to look as honest and trustworthy as I possibly can.   I’ve never shoplifted a thing in my life so I don’t know why I feel almost guilty for something I have no intention of doing. 

I’m giving up guilt for Lent.
