A Glimpse From a Buying Trip

The Man and I left last week to take a little trip to purchase a some new product for my store.  Here is our trip in pictures.

 

The Man ALWAYS drives.  So I needlepoint.

I started a new needlepoint by Colors of Praise.  I am going for a Mackenzie Childs look for this needlepoint.  I forgot to take a photo of when I started.  This was when we were about 1/2 way to our destination.

Here is when the trip was over.

 

One of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever eaten!  Haystack in Dallas

We bought so much we had to ship some back home.

+ we bought a car bag for the top of the car.

 

A Little Family Vacation a Little Buying Trip

The Man and I took our family out on a little trip this last week.  It’s hard to travel with a family of our size comfortably.  Since #2 has flown the coop, it is a bit easier to travel with 8 people instead of 9.

This is the first 10 minutes of our trip.  You can see #4 is already asleep.

 

#6 was impressed with the fact we had “the executive suite”.   He fancies himself a little business man, and was ready to handle business at the hotel.  Also.. that’s the only room in the hotel that sleeps 8.

Just in case you did not know.. he’s a “BIG HUNK”

 

I thought I might buy a few things on the trip to re-sell.  My expectations were not high, as it turns out, it was so successful, I had to rent a trailer to get it all home.

Here are a few tips to insure your success when out shopping in the retail world.

  • Always leave the place neater than you found it.
  • Be kind to the people shopping around you.
  • BE THE MOST kind to the employees.
