EDMONTON ANTIQUE MALL EVENT

TONIGHT WE WENT OUT TO A FUN EVENT AT THE EDMONTON ANTIQUE MALL. 

I AM ON THEIR MAILING LIST AND SINCE I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS PARTICULAR CHRISTMAS BOWL ( THAT JUST HAPPENED TO BE SHOWN IN THE EMAIL) WE DECIDED TO ATTEND .  

WE HEADED OUT ON THIS VERY COLD, VERY SNOWY AND SLIPPERY EVENING AND INDEED BOTH TERRY AND MY SISTER , PAULA, HAD FALLS ON THE ICE BY THEIR RESPECTIVE CARS TODAY.  YIKES !  ( BOTH OF THEM ARE FINE BUT BRUISED FOR SURE) 

AFTER FINDING FAIRLY CLOSE PARKING WE ENTERED THE BUILDING AND WALKED PAST THE SIGN THAT SAID, ” PRIVATE EVENT ” .  COOL !  I DIDN’T KNOW THAT I WAS ONE OF THE SPECIAL PEOPLE INVITED TO ATTEND ! 

A WELL DRESSED GENTLEMAN ASKED ME FOR MY NAME AND THEN CHECKED HIS LIST AND FOR SOME REASON MY NAME WASN’T ON IT.  GUESS WHAT?  I DIDN’T SIGN UP FOR THE EVENT…  HA HA HA. 

WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT ,  THE OWNER SAID, ” WELCOME , COME RIGHT ON IN ” , HANDED US DRINK TICKETS AND SENT US OVER TO ADD OUR NAMES TO THE RAFFLE.  VERY GRACIOUS FOR SURE AND MAKE NO MISTAKE WE DID VERY WELL FOR THE VENDORS TONIGHT BY FINDING QUITE A FEW BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS PRESENTS . I NEVER DID FIND THAT BOWL THOUGH. 

IT WAS WARM INSIDE AND ALL OF THE VENDORS HAD THEIR BOOTHS DECKED OUT FOR CHRISTMAS.  TERRY HAD A HOT CHOCOLATE AND I HAD A SMALL GLASS OF MALBEC.  

A FUN NIGHT AND I’M GLAD WE MADE IT HOME SAFELY WITH OUR TREASURES IN HA
