Autumn starts tomorrow in the afternoon. The pumpkins and Fall leaves are in the aisles of Michael's Craft Stores. These are ones you put away each year and bring back out. Not the real ones - they are on display at the Watering Can. So many wonderful colours, textures and shapes in the real world of pumpkins.
I take Millie to Michaels and the Watering Can each Saturday and she gathers up 100 hugs or more. Michaels hugs start in the parking lot. She sees someone coming towards the store and intercepts them with a wagging tail and then a sit waiting for a word, followed by a pat and a hug. We stopped in an aisle that was being loaded up with new goods and I looked at the aisle name - "Thankful." Everything with those words everywhere, along with the other homey synonym "grateful." Not the other synonyms. Can you imagine if they had a "Thankful and Synonyms" aisle - that would be: relieved, pleased, glad and grateful. Sounds like Elves names.
That was very entertaining to find that aisle name. Stores have aisle names that are functional, describing product categories. But searching around and looking a bit, I found aisle names that can make us laugh.
The last picture has an aisle for Millie. She'd have a little red Michael's jacket on, would be sitting on a miniature sofa, and she'd be giving out the hugs with little dog bone shaped candies.
