A Sad Sight.

Today, mom and I took a little walk down to the Lilac Tree and I could hardly contain myself. Love - love - that place. There are several sofas there I would just die to have. Thinking of my amazing cracking-leather (er.. vinyl) sofa, and knowing that only in my dreams could I afford a sofa from the Lilac Tree right now, we decided to drive over to St. Vincent's to see if they had any couches lying around that might be suitable to clean up & slipcover.

It was a sad sight. The parking lot was PACKED. The people in the parking lot were brutal just trying to get in. Someone almost rear-ended my mom's car. It felt like a retail store on Black Friday. I didn't find anything there that I liked, so we headed over to Goodwill on the off chance they might actually have a couch. They didn't, but it was the same situation over there. Usually when I go into one of these places, I can practically hear crickets. Not these days.

It was definitely a reminder of the hard time everyone is going through right now. I hope at least these establishments are benefiting from the increase in customers as of late.
