{our own little} Little Shop of Horrors

As shop owners, we don't treat ourselves to too many date nights (any of the following reasons will do: lack of time, money, energy...). So it was an extra-extra special occasion the other night to go out and see "Little Shop of Horrors" at the Tower Theater. Whooeeee! We even had a glass of wine and some popcorn. I wore heels (sort of) with my jeans! Put on some lip gloss, too. [I think we need to get out more often.]

Anyway, it was a great production, and ends tomorrow night, so recommend you get tickets, quick, and treat yourself to a fun evening. You can do it all online, with no service fees. We were so impressed with the cast (good actors all, with pitch-perfect voices), the puppeteering, the set, the band. They got an instant standing-O from all of us at the end.

Since then we've been thinking about what little monster we could have in our shop to attract so much attention. It's Mollie the shop dog! She's not a man-eater (quite the opposite), but she does look like she swallowed a basketball (poor thing has a big fatty tumor on her side). Or maybe it's the full-size halloween ghoul Robert created. He stuck Mr. Hideous on one of our benches in the ice house building, and every time I go in there, I shriek when I see him. Not very ha-ha funny.
