| - My mission: find the mother of all ugly Christmas sweaters. Challenge accepted!
My buddy Steve and I stopped by here during lunch yesterday to check out the UCS (you know me, I love a good abbreviation) selection. I walked through the doors and stopped in my tracks. Holy expletive! What is this glorious mecca of antiques?!
An entire section of the ugliest sweaters, plus poinsettia and snowman earrings. A worker told me they have a lady who gets sweaters from all across the country. Dedication.
Sleepy Poet has a little bit of everything. Records, clothing, furniture, dishes, cowboy boots (keep this in mind for the Summer country concert season)... you name it. It's all here.
One could spend an entire day inside this place and still not see it all. The next time my mom is in town, I'm definitely bringing her here. She will fall in love. Definitely coming back this weekend to finish my Christmas shopping for her.
As I was leaving, I saw the sign. The sign that all stores should have: FREE POPCORN. You know what makes shopping better? Free popcorn. I almost turned around and went sprinting to find it. Willpower stopped me. And by willpower, I mean Steve because we had to go.
Sleepy Poet, I am a new fan. If I'm not mistaken, Papi Queso sets up shop here on Saturdays. Free popcorn, a building full of fun stuff and grilled cheeses. That's a damn good day.
