Have you ever searched high and low for the impossible purchase, and then, like a flash of lightening, you see it on the shelf or on the hanger, beckoning you?
I have been searching for a "princess dress" for my nearly-six-year-old grand-daughter, Sophie, for weeks. I had practically given up the search in the belief that the "season" of dress-up clothing was over with Hallowe'en and I was destined to send something mundane and "useful", which Sophie would open, peruse, and discard shortly thereafter. I wanted to find the ultimate "Oooooh" costume for her, with all the accessories.
Well, today my husband and I were shopping here in Florida where we spend our winters now that we are into our "retirement years" and need more sunshine.....and I was browsing through yet another childrens' section when ...BINGO - I saw it there on a little hanger; pink, as she has requested, with gold braid, rick-rack, sparkles, full skirt, the whole enchilada as they say here in the South! What a find! And to cap it all off, it was on sale!
Next task - find those accessories. Still a few weeks to go before I need to mail the package off to Vancouver, so I will be searching yet more stores for the ultimate in shoes, headbands, purses, and anything else which would accompany a Princess on her Prince Charming Date.
Oh, the joys of being a grandmother and shopping for a Princess!
