What I bought at the Royal Wedding, plus what happened

Submitted by Chelsea on May 9, 2011 - 12:42pm

So I took my daughter to the royal wedding. I bought a lot of commerative plates and thimbles. Also an ashtray, a flag, a stuffed corgi, a mug, a keychain, a bunch of Union Jack pencils, a couple of Paddington Bears, paper Kate and Wills masks, and a tin of shortbreads from Harrod's. And that's not even getting into my spree at Top Shop. Anyway, here's an essay I wrote about the whole adventure for the Oregonian.
