Llama Llama Duck!

Good weekend, wish it weren't over. On Sunday I went to a little town called Yellow Springs, which is like a Mayberry sized Last Holdout of the Southwestern Ohio Hippies. Seriously. It's like two streets big and full of boutique-y fun. Pottery shops, blown glass, organic food, organic clothing, aromatherapy.... So yeah, lots of fun. I bought a neat covered dish thing that looks like a cross between a fish and a pig at a store called La Llama Place. Is there a better store name than La Llama place? No. There isn't.

I also went to Dark Star comics and used books. And it was...dark. For a minute I thought it was truth in advertising, but it turned out they had a blackout on that side of the street. The staff passed around tiny keychain flashlights to the customers so we could keep browsing. It kind of added a special something to the book-hunt experience.

Tomorrow I refuse to work later than 5:30 because I am jonesing for a quality sandwich and I have a free one coming to me thanks to my Honeybaked Ham stamp card. Oh yeah. And I may drive all the way to the only bagel place in town (which still requires driving down 3 seperate highways) and loading up on hazelnut creamcheese.

I've been to Yellow Springs -- they had the most wonderful jewelry supply shop. Not just beads and pre-made clasps, but coils of silver and brass wire (before wire jewelry had its flash in the pan). Great herb shops there, too.

But La Llama? I didn't see that. Time to go back and get a picture. ^^

And good ol' Dark Star. You're making me feel nostalgic. I'm glad they are still there.

DAMN that sandwich sounds good. Did you get it?

I didn't get the sandwich yesterday, I bought a bakers dozen of bagels instead. (blueberry, plain, 7 grain & chocolate chip hazelnut) I think today I'll get the sandwich.

The Llama place is kind of hidden, I don't think I would have found it if I weren't specifically looking for it. (I saw it on the Yellow Springs website)

Where do you live now?
