Vacation Finds

A couple of weeks ago, I joined my friends from Mothers & More for a quiet kidless weekend away in Kittery Maine. Of course, what is there to do in Kittery Maine but shop. A couple of stores were rather entertaining. I wish I had gotten pictures.

First funny. A store with upscale decorating and art pieces. In one corner, stainless steel rods bent into inspirational words. Including love, laugh, create, inspire, floss.

Yes, that's right. Floss. It's a new inspirational saying. Imagine what you can do in this world if you just floss!

In another store, they must have heard that they had to carry toys. Because along a 5 foot stretch of wall they had some neatly arranged packages of figurines. Only two or three to choose from. The wall looked rather bare; like they searched and searched for appropriate toys, but could only find:
A figurine of Darth Vader
A figurine of the riddler
A figurine of Moses

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what message they are trying to convey with those three choices.
