At least I got out alive

purple_terror and I went to the Natick Mall. Apparently they're adding on to it. I think it'll double in size when the additions are completed. Maybe more than double.
They now have a bead kiosk over on the Macy's side of the building. I ended up getting about 150 beads for 27 bucks: silver, hematite, glass... yeah. That place is EVIL. They didn't have any interesting wood or shell ones, though, IMO. There's also a Coldwater Creek in that mall. Oh. My. GOD. I want everything but the ponchos in there. p_t said that it's been years since I have squeed that hard over clothes. But dude. So awesome. The main purpose of going to that part of the world in the first place was to finally visit Mecca The Container Store. Believe it or not--- no, believe it- I didn't buy anything. They didn't have the segmented cases for finished clay product, which needs to not be more than about 1/2 an inch deep with ideally multi-sized compartments and more than one layer. shrug. I'll go back at some point to get other odds and ends. Those adorable colored boxes.... gah. Love. We had ice cream therapy at Ben & Jerry's, which is right next to the Container Store. Triple caramel chunk in a waffle cone. Mmmm. Ok. Time for more solace in West Wing.
