I have been at the U-Mall more times in the past month than in the entire time I've lived in Vermont (14 years). I'm not a big mall shopping fan, but I'm becoming a mall SELLING fan!
Some observations:
- Dinner selections at the U-Mall stink. Subway is my favorite. Tonight I lived wildly and added jalapenos to my turkey sandwich.
- I've now made back my initial investment in the crafters' cooperative with 3 weeks to go before Christmas.
- I don't know anyone at the mall. Why am I not seeing anyone I know? (Sarah Spencer did stop by tonight, bless her heart).
- Teens should not be in the mall alone after 8. Where the heck are their parents? I do not understand this.
- The mall Santa uses our shop's bathroom for potty breaks. He puts the seat down when he's done. I love Santa.
- Shortbread flies off my mall table into shopping bags and hungry mouths. We are working around the clock to keep up with the demand. Holy cow, I am pleasantly surprised.
Do you live in Chittenden County?
Do you hate holiday shopping?
If so, make one stop this year. Come to the University Mall. Pick up some shortbread. The crowds weren't too bad tonight, but hey, it's only 3 weeks before Christmas. Come visit us soon!
