After my lunch at the Java Shop yesterday, I stopped at Dream Boutique & Gifts, which I had not been to since the Shop Crawl last spring (perhaps you read my blog posts about that). I have been thinking of treating myself to a fancy new outfit, maybe spending more money than I usually do (regular readers know I love the thrift and consignment stores). This was in the nature of an initial foray, just checking out the territory.
The shop is small but well stocked. I had a nice chat with the proprietress when looking over the goods. In addition to clothing she has jewelry, purses, and many gift items.
“I have far too many coffee mugs already,” I remarked. “So I’ll probably buy that one with all the cats on it.” However, I refrained from doing so yesterday. I had sniffed all the fancy soaps when the salt and sugar scrubs caught my eye. I do love a fancy exfoliant! I purchased a salt scrub with a margarita scent. I thought I could use it before going out for margaritas some night. Actually, I rarely indulge in margaritas, but that is no reason not to use the scrub of that scent.
I was quite pleased with my little self-indulgence. I may return for more, and I will certainly keep it in mind for Christmas shopping.
Dream Boutique & Gifts is located at 232 Mohawk St., Herkimer, NY. You can follow her on Facebook, where she often posts videos showing her wares.
