Yes, you read that right! We shopped so much the city exploded around us! Many of you probably heard about the propane plant explosion that shut down the 401 and a 10 mile radius around it. It sure made for an interesting trip home, but I'll get to that later.
As it turned out, a few of the staff were unable to make it - Shelby due to the fact that her hubby needed emergency heart surgery on Friday and is now recovering nicely - boy was his timing off!
Julie had tickets to the re-scheduled Def Leppard concert so she drove to Kingston on Saturday and spent the day with us there.
We "researched" all afternoon at the Cataraqui Town Center so that we'd be right up to date on the trends for fall. After enjoying a lively dinner at Kelsey's discussing our finds, Donna, Jodi and I headed for the big city.
Enter explosion!
We knew we'd be in trouble bringing Donna along!
Anyway, it was a late night to say the least but for the most part, we behaved.
We headed to the Accessories Show first thing on Sunday morning and it's a good thing! You wont believe all of the new goodies we got!
2 lines of NEW clothing, shawls, scarves, capes, cardigans, 6 styles of boots, 6 styles of shoes, jewelry, bags, over 100 sterling silver rings, 8 new lines of SPANX including the newly designed SPANX BRA! Say goodbye to back fat!
Our pride and joy this trip? Our NEW LINE OF
Hand painted, leather handbags and wallets-
stunning!<em>
The orders will be coming in over the next few weeks so you'll have to check in every few days to see what's new. We will be stocking about 1/2 of the
hand painted, leather collection
tomorrow so get in to check them out!
It was also decided that we would host a big girl party in September once the kids are back in school. Watch your mailbox for a special invite for you and a friend.
After seeing only about 3/4 of the show (Donna and Jodi have decided that next year we need 2 full days!) we headed for our 6 hour drive home! Yes, you read that right. It took us 1.5 hours to get out of that 10 mile closed off section of Toronto. A friendly officer finally helped us find our way, only to get stopped again in Whitby for an accident that closed a few lanes of traffic.
Thank goodness that we were only held up and not in that accident. As Jodi said, "At least we're all happy people and we're not stuck with someone grumpy in the car!" Well said.
We came, we saw, we shopped a little :) I'll post pictures of us tomorrow for you to have a boo at our buys.
