Shopping Day With Grandma

Posted on the 18 December 2011 by Courtyb34 @CourtyB34
I love spending a day with Grandma Biggs (dad's mom). It's so fun! She usually takes us out to breakfast and lunch! We usually go shopping in between. I had to get some stuff for Isabelle, my cousin's Christmas present, so we went to Craft Warehouse. That was the major place I had to go. We also went to Bed Bath and Beyond, Joanne Fabrics and NEW SEASONS!! I love New Seasons. For breakfast, we went to Starbucks. I have had almost all of their holiday drinks! Today, I got the Egg Nog latte and a cheese danish. It was so good! They put a lot of egg nog in their latte this time. They don't usually do that.

We then went to Bed, Bath and Beyond. And I love looking at their baking things, like their baking tools and pans and such. I have been wanting to make homemade and organic soap, and I needed molds for that. I found like quiche and cupcake molds! They can also be used for soap!Shopping Day With Grandma They were each .59 cents. That's really cool! I love them! Shopping Day With GrandmaAlso, while walking around Bed, Bath and Beyond, we saw quirky things like... PUGZ.... UGGS for your dog....Shopping Day With Grandma Kind of ridiculous if you ask me. Shopping Day With Grandma
I also found these cute pillows! They have countries on them, and the land marks! SUPER CUTE!Shopping Day With Grandma

Next, we went to Craft Warehouse. I had to grab some supplies to make Isabelle her gift :) I will blog about that :) Shopping Day With Grandma I'm so excited about it! Shopping Day With Grandma
Also at Craft Warehouse, they had some ADORABLE fabrics! I love looking at fabrics because I do want to get into sewing. Shopping Day With Grandma

We then went to JoAnne fabrics. They have a lot more than just fabric! I found some spring-time projects for spring! I'm so excited! I found these cute, little pots there. They are .59 cents each. They are just way too cute!Shopping Day With Grandma The dish holding the pot is .99 cents. I am going to do a little herb garden :) Shopping Day With Grandma
I found some more things at JoAnne fabrics for the spring time projects! I'm really excited. 

We then went to NEW SEASONS market! I absolutely love this store! They have tons of samples, and they have some good prices, just have to look. Everybody thinks it's so expensive, and yes, it is, but you just have to look for the good prices. They're there, just have to look for them. These are samples when we first walked in the door. This one, below is Turkey. Shopping Day With Grandma This one is salmon. SO GOOD!Shopping Day With GrandmaI LOVE sourdough bread, and they had Sourdough Sandwich bread for sampling. Shopping Day With GrandmaI already bit into it, but then I remembered I had to take a picture of it.... haha. I'm so silly. See my teeth marks??? lolShopping Day With Grandma

I love the medicine/shampoo/makeup section of New Seasons. I love the smells and the oils and the organic things! I love organic shampoos and lip balms and oils. I love the aromatherapy oils or smells that they sell. I love the mineral baths and sea salts and bath scrubs! I love them all!!Shopping Day With Grandma
I was looking for a certain kind of lip balm, it's called Badger Sleep Balm. I also got a Badger lip balm, Highland Mint. I have already used it a million times probably! I used the Badger sleep balm last night, and it helped me fall asleep! It felt so nice!Shopping Day With Grandma

Shopping Day With Grandma At New Seasons, I got the 'SPECIAL' which was Dragon Thighs, roasted veggies and roasted potato wedges. SOOO GOOD. Of course I had left overs:) The tea in the bottle next to the plate is so good. I am now a big fan of Tulsi tea. It's really nice, and when you drink it, you feel all the toxins leave your body. It feels so nice.Shopping Day With Grandma
