La Vie En Rose

Post by Dadaist » 28 Dec 2005, 14:21

My apologies if this new shop has been mentioned elsewhere.

"La Vie En Rose" is the new gift shop at the top of Marlborough Street - next to the Seaview takeaway.

Dada clan visited this morning - very nice shop and nice lady.

It was interesting seeing how large the premises is - the shop goes right back - you don't really get an idea of space when it's full of bread and rental videos!

Anyone else been in?

BB spent her Christmas money. I was there purely in a support capacity.

I don't think there's a sale on - she only opened 2 weeks before Xmas!

I will let BB detail her purchase if she wishes, and also correct any of my errors / provide her own thoughts on the shop. Just like the submarine game I'm playing at the moment - I am out of my depth!

Well, let's just say there were other places I would rather have been :evil:. Although the day did go in quite quick as I was kept busy with all the work that had come in over the last few days - worst thing about being off, all the work you've missed is just waiting for you when you get back. :evil:

I think that's where my unusually scented candles (see the Xmas pressie thread) came from. They were a gift from Dan. He couldn't remember where they'd been bought exactly but told me precisely how much they cost.

:lol: kids are great.

My nieces had a concert in the living room on Christmas day and had us all singing the 12 days of Christmas - mine was, two turtle doves - they were so intense about it and it made me cry with laughter :lol: and it was fun.
