Before we finally bought that stone lantern, I asked Jalna of Photos by Jalna and Honolulu Aunty if they knew where I could find one. Jalna said she happened to be at the Aloha Stadium swap meet and saw exactly what I was looking for. However, she went on a Sunday.
We needed to make a decision before Thursday when we told Mari's Garden that we would be back to buy the stone lantern there.
Therefore we went on Wednesday to the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet and Marketplace hoping that the same seller that she saw might be there.
Sigh...
He wasn't.
However, we had a great time looking for things for our granddaughter.
The difficult thing was not knowing what 10 year old KC is into now.
I was constantly texting, calling or facetiming our daughter, Tiffany to ask her if something we saw might be of interest to KC.
Whatever the case, we had fun even if we never found any stone lanterns there.
You can't say we're leaving any stones unturned!

Oh you are so clever. "...leaving no stones unturned". LOL
ReplyDeleteWe do love to feed our grandchildren's obsessions. There are so many cute girly things too.
ReplyDeleteI just bought a "mermaid tail lap blanket" from Amazon in purple for my 12 year old granddaughter. She absolutely loves to cuddle in it while she reads. They have many types and are very popular with girls.
