Thank you for this magical post - You nailed it! Book stores and hobby stores are for browsing and dreaming and playing - not checking off an item on your shopping list. I love to browse at Barnes and Noble, Micheal's, and JoAnn. Oh - and Dick Blick and Utrecht for art supplies I didn't know I needed. I used to like going to the mall (many years ago when they were much more diversified) for this very reason.

I'm sure that's why most people went to the mall, whether they knew it or not.

I'm ABSOLUTELY sure that's why they went. I'm putting teenagers aside, because they just want to hang out and meet up with friends, which is a completely respectable reason if you're a teenager.

Discovered a while back that Texas Art Supply South of Houston was a magical place. Oh the stuff I didn’t know I needed.
