Andy and I went downtown Monday night to pick Cindy up from the train station. Yesterday we did the Goodwill circuit, starting in North Riverside and ending in Melrose Park (that's five stores lol). We stopped for lunch at Lou Malnati's because when you're in Chicago you should have deep-dish pizza.
We were at Westchester when heavy thunderstorms rolled through. There were tornado warnings and I wasn't going to drive in that so we browsed ... a lot. Andy's office had to shelter in the hallway. We spent so much time there lunch was our next stop.
Shopping, shopping. She got some good bargains - a big wicker sled, a Ruggable holiday runner for $3.19 (they retail for $200 and they had so many designs and shapes), some puzzles, a Disney T-shirt, a Creative Memories album with pages, a set of four "Christmas Story" pint glasses and a Vera Bradley medium duffle she'll take on the cruise in case she needs souvenir space.
I found a few things - two Creative Memories storage bags, a Kitchen Aid juicer attachment for $2 which should make margaritas a bit easier to make, and a Chicago Metallic brownie pan with dividers B had asked for ($5 but retails for $30-something. It's really heavy).
How cute is this? The longer you look, the more things you find.
