This booth has some of everything.

I covet the white shelf/hutch.  But, the last time I looked it wasn't for sale :( 

but, I found a similar one at an estate sale this weekend for $22 . . .   :)

I might need to get the green dresser it is sitting on . . .

toys . . . games . . .

You might even see a celebrity.

This is Brittany from Alabama Shakes (previous post) with the owner.  Sandra and I ran out of the store like groupies to talk to her.  Sandra knows her family.

Alabama Shakes appeared on Conan this past week.

They are a great group and are already very successful!

Alabama Shakes "You Ain't Alone"

Are you engaged by holiday season jewelry and expensive car commercials?  I am.

The 2011 Zales holiday commercial was especially captivating to me.  It was beautiful.  The people were beautiful.  The snow was beautiful.  The restaurant was beautiful.  They know how to sell a diamond.  But, I'm old and grown up now and past the "diamonds will make my life magical" myth, and I thought I was past being totally knocked off my feet by a song.  Then I discovered where the music in the commercial came from.

Wow.

(There was a You Tube montage video of all the different scenes in the 2011 commercials along with the music.  It says it is now privatized and the only one I can find is spoofed with over-layed words.)
