Shopped Until I Dropped


Literally, I shopped until I dropped.  Have you ever been to Canton, Texas for trade days?  If so, OH. MY. GOODNESS. If you haven't- go there.  Seriously get out your calendar.  Look at  next month and put your finger on the first Monday.  The weekend right before it- that's your weekend to shop. 


My friend, "The Fashionista,"  and I headed to Canton on Thursday night.  We drove, drove, and then drove some more.  On Friday morning we woke up and headed out.  We had no idea what to expect.  We were shocked and over whelmed.  But we quickly got out our cash and credit cards and took control of the situation.  There was so much stuff!  Great stuff, one of a kind stuff, and stuff that looked like came from the world's worst garage sale. 


One of the best parts was all of the people the Fashionista and I got to experience.  My favorite lady had a dog stroller decorated for Christmas with tinsel, two small dogs wearing matching frocks, and of course she was wearing a matching poncho.  I love to get cute bandannas for my dogs, but really?  There was a line and that lady clearly jumped over it.  We encountered a few obnoxious Longhorn fans.  Yes, we were wearing OU sweatshirts - it was cold.  We were clearly shopping and not wanting to discuss football.  Come on people.  We also met a very nice man who can't distinguish between red and green and another who would like to see Nebraska and OU return to the "glory days."


The HIGHLIGHT of my trip though, was the crepe.  Hands down. Every bite I took was a slice of Heaven blessing my tongue.  It was divine.  All in all it was a great trip.  The Fashionista and I had so much fun and laughed until our stomachs hurt.  There were a few missed exits and turns made along the way but when you are having fun- who cares?


This momma needed a weekend and I couldn't have dreamed up a better one.  Canton, Texas, I am coming back- prepare yourself!
