Ok, it’s a bit too early for back to school shopping, but it’s always good to have an excuse purpose when you do go shopping. My daughter and I took off for the Cabazon Outlet Mall. It was a really nice day, a bit windy, but that is usually the case out in the desert. DD found some really great deals. We even stopped by Hadleys, to have a date shake – yummy! DD prefers Hadley’s date shakes, but I still have a preference for the one from the Shake Shack off Pacific Coast Highway (I have good memories of going there as a child):
On the way home, we managed to hit some antique stores in Beaumont. It’s like walking into history. Every item there seems to have a story to tell:
I managed to be good at the mall, but I found some very nice buttons in one of the stores. I even found some MOP horse buttons again! And of course, I couldn’t resist the happy sunflower salt and pepper shakers smiling at me throught the glass case:

I love the beautiful buttons!
