Friday

Gramma always found stocking stuffers at Pier One imports + Radio Shack...

Mom would pick up goodies at Spencer's Gifts + stuff from the Lillian Vernon + Vermont Country Store catalogs...
(while we kids drooled over the Sears + Penney's + Montgomery Ward + Spiegel holiday catalogs)...

My daughter + I still make a holiday run through CostPlus for ornaments + stocking stuffers...When I get back to the city,
we may hit the Daiso store... + the little tiendas near my daughter's house...

Sure do miss the 5 + 10 cent stores... Closest thing is Walgreens... I hope they're still in business...
