An Excerpt: “Holiday Handbag Extravaganza”
What a mess.
The bell sitting on the counter above my head ding-ding-
dinged in an irritating way. I huffed. Really?
Then I heard, “Hey,”—two dings—“I need help. Anybody
working today?”
Despite the din assaulting my ears, I didn‟t answer, and not
because I was mean. Because I was a woman on a mission. I had
to retrieve the hundred-dollar bill, which vanished when The
Copper Teapot‟s front door erupted wide with a wintry gust. All
kinds of stuff tornadoed about my store, like price tags, papers,
and hard-earned moola. I dropped to my hands and knees and
scrambled to retrieve the mess. In today‟s sucky economy, every
smidgen of revenue mattered.
Sticking the ruler in the gap between the floor and the show-
case, I bit my lip and concentrated, waving the makeshift tool
back and forth so I could snag the elusive dinero. Another three-
note ding sounded.
I rolled my eyes before sing-songing, “Just a minute, please.”
