Christmas shopping has begun! I officially kicked off the Christmas shopping at Mistletoe Market. It has become a tradition. My mom and I take off a day from school and go each year. Margie always meets us there and this year Kristen came too!
This is only a warm-up for the madness of our annual Black Friday Shopping Extravaganza!
This year will be our fifth BFSE - but you can read about the
Back to Mistletoe...
Mistletoe is always a great place to find tons of great gifts at once! And another great thing we love about Mistletoe is that many times the artist, authors, chefs, etc. will be at their booth. In years past we have chatted it up with Robert St. John, Wyatt Waters, Kristin Alfonso and this year we met Gail Pittman!
My mom has always been a Gail Pittman fan, serving us special meals on her beautiful hand painted pottery. Not to mention all the great Christmas ornaments and serving pieces! We were happy to meet Gail and purchase this year's Christmas ornament from her.
Since Robert is at Belhaven and it is only a few blocks from the Trademart, he stopped by between classes to get a glimpse of the shopping madness. Needless to say, he wasn't quite as impressed with Mistletoe as we were!
Always finding that "Go Gold"!
I can't post most of what I purchase because they are gifts!! But I did get these beautiful Alex and Lele earrings, I. LOVE. THEM.
Another great year! Now its time to enjoy Thanksgiving, finish up the Christmas decor, and get ready for BLACK FRIDAY 2011!!!
