My Winter Wonderland

Christmas is over and I may live in the tropics where we’re freezing at 70 degrees, but I just found a the wonderland of the Philippines: DIVISORIA!
Those of you who love a bargain, love the thrill of the hunt, love crafts and fabrics…this place is amazing!! John gave me the day to go and we went from 5:00 until 9:00 at night on an unofficial girls’ day out (a few of us rode along with the camp staff on their purchasing trip). We had so much fun! And I really enjoyed seeing where Filipinos love to shop, not to mention hanging out with the girls!
This is the place where everything comes, then goes throughout the country, so It’s the wholesale price. If fact, the mini-city within Manila never sleeps. We arrived at 7:00 and the streets are full of trash from all the vendors who have come through the night to get their products. And the shoppers are out starting about then!

We got some beautiful deals! Of course I had to get my favorite little guys something fun (you know you dream of a day off, then you get one and all you can think of is things your kids would like) ! A red cowboy hat for Leighton ;-) and a new Thomas umbrella for Tanner. Seriously, ya’ll he LOVES to use his “Hairbrella” when it rains, which was a pink one he found in our house when we got here. And we sure couldn’t let him take that anywhere!
My best, most exciting deal????? Dinique Happy for $3! Yes. You read it right! Sure it’s imitation, but you try to find the difference! I almost hugged the lady!
