We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

Last week.. or the week before... or something, I went to a bracelet making party at Covet in Arlington.

You all know I am always opinionated (insert Courtney rolling her eyes and saying, that’s an understatement) but rarely do I full on bash someone. Well, please note that I am refraining from throwing the owner of this place completely under the bus. So when I saw that this was a bracelet making event I thought – how cool and original! Well, not only was it completely unorganized and hot, but it was also extremely difficult, so difficult that the people watching decided to toss their string back in the basket and just look around the store – I was also one of those people. Also, when I went up to the owner to introduce myself, she cut me off mid-sentence and said something along the lines of “Okay honey, I’m sure that’s really great but I don’t have time for you right now so can you please hurry this up?” Oh sorry, Mrs. President, I didn’t realize that “Hi, my name is Kate, I write Then, Life Gave Me Lemons and the beauty column for Northern Virginia Magazine….” was too long for you. Not only that but she was consistently rude to every single person that tried to say hello, including one of her own friends. Well guess what, your event sucked, you’re rude, and everything in your store is overpriced. No one is going to buy a pack of paper cat napkins for $32. Extremely disapointing since it was such a cute store.
