Shopping Day


I have been staying in pretty much
since Sunday evening.

The flu and strep throat is
running wild in the
Nashville area, I don't
need to catch anything since I
am still in recovery.

But I just had to get out today.
It was pretty, sun was out nice
and bright.

Made a run to the Hobby!
Yep, Hobby Lobby one of my
all time fav places.

My brother Mark gave me a
gift card for my bday for that place.
I had used some on there but
I still had more, and still have
about eight left.

I needed a hoop. No clue
what I did with mine since I
have not done any cross stitch
in a long time.

Picked up two of these.



Got a cream color and an oatmeal
color for my up coming
Christmas ornaments.


After I left there I went to
Old Time Pottery
another fav place.
My older brother Ray had
given me a gift card a couple yrs ago
for that store for house
and dog sitting.
I used a little on it and after
what I spent today I still have
22.00 left on that one.

I got a couple of these hooks
for the front and back doors.
I have a white one on the front
but its white. I actually got
two black ones this time.


I have been wanting one of these
birdhouses for awhile.
Got this one for 6.99.


Picked up two plant stands.
One taller than the other.
I am going to use it for a side
table next to the glider.
It was 19.99 on sale for 14.99.
The smaller one was 14.99 and I
got it for 9.99.


When I go to Old Time Pottery I
love to go up and down all the rows.
Found a section of books on sale.
I read a book by this author in
high school, the book was Rebecca!
Daphne DuMauriers name jumped
out at me so I thought for 2.99
I would give this read a try.


Love this....going in the garden for sure.


I broke my glass spoon holder the other day
so I grabbed this while I was out there.





Got a couple of decorative rocks also.
99 cents each.

I love finding bargains and I love
finding things to put in the
garden and on the deck.
But what I love more is
having gift cards to cover all
I bought!

My kind of shopping!!!

Thanks for stopping in,

Daphne DuMaurier was a popular writer in the '30s, I think. I loved Rebecca.

Sometimes it's nice to get out and shop. I know what you mean.

Shopping is fun especially when you have unused $$ on gift cards. Looks like you had a fun and productive outing, Kim.

Seasonal Changes with Lily, Moods, Snuggle Bunny, Blue Tail Skink gets out Alive

Image
 Seasonal changes are coming,  moving in slowly as always,  but coming.  Leaves are falling, not since fall is close but cause we  are so freak'n dry. Got a little rain shower on Wed. but, it did not even register in my rain gauge.    Spider webs are thick, grass is  crunchy, flowers are giving up  the fight, and Lily is doing her seasonal behavior as fall moves in. What would that be? She has started the curling up  behind my knee sort of  thing again and  wanting to be close. Not on me,  not in my lap, but close to me. This starts taking place every year around this time. Not only has that started, I think  she knows that time changes at some point. This week, she started waking me at 4. What she don't understand, it is not bouncing forward, so 4 will not be 5.... LILY, get with the program! haha.. Actually, I think the early rise has to do with me.  You see, with me having been  suffering the last 2.5 mon...

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...
