Always Be Prepared

Are you ready for some shopping? Do you know what the Boy Scouts of America's moms do while the guys are learning to tie knots? The moms drop the fellas off and they go shopping. The maternal figures are the ones who coined the phrase "Always Be Prepared".

LaurieAnna's Serendipity Market is this Saturday, February 20 in Canton. Let's discuss preparation, shall we?

1. Start mapping out your stops along the way and back. Will you stop just north of Terrell at Primitiques en route? Go ahead and plan on a visit to Athens for a visit at Winnie & Tulula's? You know you want to.

2. Bring your truck and trailer. Roadtrip! You really should make a buying trip out of the day. It's wise. You want to be on the ball, don't you?

3. Money. Uh huh. You'll need that. Bring it.

4. Measurements. You know there's a space that needs filling in your home. You better plan ahead and know how it sizes up.

5. Set the alarm clock, have your tank filled and your trailer hooked up. You do not want to waste time driving while the stores are open. Primitiques Saturday hours are 8:30-3:00. Serendipity: 9:00-5. Winnie & Tulula's -10:00-5:00.

6. Let me help you. Here is a map with driving directions from one store to the next to the next. Just copy this and have your navigator (side kick, buying buddy) yell out directions between giggles, spilled coffee and u-turns.

I can tell you for sure. It's a pain to not be prepared. Or is that pane?

Here's to good preparation and some great shopping this Saturday!

Happy Tuesday!
