Shop ’til you pink yourself out

I visited the Cherry Blossom Festival Gift Shop over the weekend to buy my 2006 festival pin. The shop is nestled just between the SunTrust and a parking deck entrance at Mulberry Street's intersection with Second Street. I've been around for this festival for three years but in all that time I have never seen so much pink in one place. The shop has everything from the expected, like t-shirts (about $15) and ties (from about $15-$25), to the more outrageous, like pink suspenders and pink parasoles. If that's not enough, you can also find dog collars covered in pink jewels and earrings featuring cherry blossoms. They did also have a few items completely un-cherry related. For the Georgia fanatics out there, the shop offers quite a selection of UGA jewelry to chose from, and for those who could care less about the Bulldogs, the store also sells items representing a few of "those other schools."
