We normally exit to dinner for birthdays and this 12 months Mark is taking me to the Tate home with a gaggle of buddies tomorrow (I’ll share that additionally), in order that will likely be one other celebration, however once I came upon Queen of Hearts was doing this purchasing journey with a bus ON my birthday, I made a decision to hitch in and go. My pal Betsy was going together with her mother, so I tagged together with them. That is the primary one they’ve completed and I’m positive they are going to do extra. We had a enjoyable day, despite the fact that by the point it got here to an finish, I used to be actually drained. In case you’re native, you would possibly wish to try the following one. You must love purchasing and being on a bus with a bunch of different (principally) girls and be prepared to buy til you drop! Breakfast, lunch and snacks had been included, with mimosas and wine alongside the best way as effectively. It was a full day!

The entire retailer was full and prepared for Christmas so it was a pleasant approach to kick off the vacation season.
Second cease was Alpharetta and that is the place we had lunch. We shopped awhile after which headed to get a catered lunch which was very good.
There may be loads to see on this retailer too. So many distributors and a lot to soak up. Since I don’t want rather a lot, I wasn’t searching for something particularly.
