Although I do love shopping for anything more or less
sent Elizabeth today a whole town for sale she loves shopping too

although I can spend a decent amount of time
examining envelopes and their linings, pens especially,
objects in many categories I usually buy what I do
at the flea market at a sample sale on Ebay (Clergerie shoes
last night for $5.00 plus shipping!) but today a friend
is taking me to an expensive store as a gift for a favor
and last night, although as usual I didn’t sleep much,
I did have a brief dream where I explained to the sales clerk
while the clothes were perfectly beautiful, maybe even
belonged in a museum, shopping this way was not for me.
