Giant Build-A-Bear

This bear is life size. 

Is he waving or about to reach out and take a big bite?  😉

Wink Wink

Winking Balloons 

That means it’s an anniversary sale at Nordstrom. 

Goodie goodie.  😉

That’s a Hairdo

Wow you can get your hair all spiky and tall. 

And choose your color: blue, pink, or yellow. 

Who doesn’t want to have that much hair again.  😉

Tinker at the Mall

I guess if you go shopping in the mall right before the holidays, you’re sure to run into some zany characters. 

This guy, Tinker, did a little dance and gave the elf thumbs up. 

I wonder if all this was to communicate to us that we need to spend more money and buy more things (we don’t need) for the holidays?  😉

The Centerpiece

Nice store display. 

The centerpiece carries the weight here. 

Beautiful colors and design. 

Draws the shoppers into the store to buy, buy, buy. 

She rises above the others and stands out among the crowd.

Even if she’s just a mannequin, she’s doing a great job!  😉

Bubble Bath Bar

Check out this cool Bubble (Bath) Bar in the mall. 

It’s called “the Comforter.”

You break off a piece of what look like a gorgeous pink and white (like bubble gum) Cinnabon roll and throw it in the bath to get a nice aroma and bubbles. 

Again, it looks more like a bakery item than a bath one. 

But maybe it’s the combination that makes it irresistible–although please do not eat it!   

Soap is soap, but this is something else entirely (maybe!).  😉

We’re Leaving

This was funny. 

Store closing. 

50% off all the store fixtures. 

We’re leaving. 

This joint just ain’t cool anymore. 

Not one sells us short. 😉
