What’s the worst marketplace experience you’ve had? I actually don’t even think this is my worst one 😅

We decided to have a girls outing this weekend and she requested a fun drink and painting in the park so I added in some thrifting for my input and phew this day had me like a dog hearing all its favourite words.
