Gum

By | Shopping, Travel | No Comments

After the Kremlin, we walked a few minutes to get to the Red Square and to where the shopping center was, Gum.  It was raining so it was quite gloomy and there were still scaffoldings in the red square since they just had some ceremonies in the area

Celebrating 120 years

Several scooping stations around the mall gum-14.JPG gum-15.JPG gum-3.JPG

We tried this one since Sasa recommended it – bragging about the dairy from Russia which is supposedly very fresh and very good gum-11.JPG gum-10.JPG gum-8.JPG gum-9.JPG

Richard calls this “The feel good store.”  You will find everything 3 to 4 times the price in here compared to Izmaelova! 🙂  Previous entry:  Izmaelova October 30, 2013 gum-5.JPG

We were so excited we thought we saw Tessa in the mall! 🙂 gum-13.jpg

We took a peep outside the mall

Photo opportunity with St. Basil’s Cathedral.  Because the weather was not so good, we were trying to just take photos from one of the entrances of the mall

Then we decided to just go near since we don’t do this all the time! 🙂  Beautiful exteriors but they say not so nice inside, so we just took a group photo 🙂  Trying to hide the umbrellas but they still came out in the photo! haha

Izmaelova

After all the bragging Richard did, we got so excited and searched for our own finds!

Richard and Sasa set aside a day for us to go outside about thirty minutes away from the city.  We really spent the whole day here! 🙂  We have been waiting to go here because we were stopping ourselves from shopping in all the souvenir stores we went to in St Petersburg 🙂  This is an outdoor flea market which is why the prices are half or even one third of what you see in the stores!  Make sure to bargain just like any flea market!  We loved this place 🙂

Bumped into my sister in law, Tina Banzhaf de Jesus with my niece Georgia at the DVA Gift Market!  

And this is their booth!  WRAPOLOGY!!  EVERYTHING FOR GIFT WRAPPING!  Tina is the master of gift wrapping.  She wraps all our christmas gifts so nicely – we do not want to open them!  I look after the ribbons and keep them if I see them lying around 🙂

Heart Warmers Holiday 2013

By | Shopping | One Comment

Heart2Heart is happy to have Heart Warmers back!  With many stationary services out there, Denise Gatuslao still has her classic offering which is always timeless and very elegant!  Denise has been very busy she does not want to post anymore here!  🙂  But I told her that many are asking about her so I had to convince her to make me post.  I wish I had her problem – too many orders! 🙂  Place your orders now to be sure Denise can serve your orders
