The lone remaining tchotke shop in my neighborhood is closing after Christmas. This, after the owner bitching and moaning for years about her lack of business, lack of support feom neighbors, etc. so I go in there at Holiday time, trying to find something to buy, anything. Just one damn thing to give as a gift. And I dont gift gifts really.
But she didnt t have anything I wanted. Ok, she did carry earrings I liked and at a reasonable price, so I bought a few. It gads, the dumb stuff she has, and then she personalizes everything with engravings,just ugh. The store deserves to close down.
