Bring on the holiday cheer! Yesterday packed away all the fall decor (two totes full)...and Mr. Seventies brought in the outdoor stack of pumpkins and gnome-mobile...and put them in the storage room downstairs. I love fall...so a little sad to see it move into November...which is usually a windy, rainy and cold month here. The trees will soon be bare...the time has moved back an hour...making evenings so dark...almost feel like hibernating...
With Covid..there will be no craft shows, Christmas home tours or decorating workshops to attend...although a couple are in the works for on-line events...so there is that...but it kind of dampens the holiday mood...
Our grand daughter Charly celebrated her birthday...mixed with Halloween..she was such an adorable little witch...and just look at her amazing cake!!
Moving forward...let's get right into the Christmas goodies I scouted out! I didn't purchase anything...as have a shopping outing planned with youngest grand baby and her Mama...but saw a couple of things I don't think I can resist...this adorable Grinch being one of them! I love me a Grinch...
The second item is this Santa....I mean..check out those adorable slippers...and yummy cookie & hot chocolate! Adorable...
I may have to add one new piece...just sayin'. Moving on...gotta feed my Nutcracker obsession..this life size guy is only a mere $500!! Whoa...unless he does laundry and vacuuming...he can stand at attention right where he is...
Thankfully there are smaller....and cheaper versions available...like this cute woodsman...
Crushing on these adorable dachshund picks...I picked one up a while ago for grand baby's first Christmas tree...they are so cute...with moveable legs as well...
These lanterns are so pretty...not as large as the ones I have...but I love the off white finish...and they come with flickering battery operated candles...watching to see if they come on sale. They would look awesome on our farmhouse kitchen table...
Quite a variety of larger picks available again this year...but no elf feet...maybe they haven't got everything out on display yet...if you remember from last year...I have the large red & white lollipops..
Lots of beautiful garlands...however I discovered nearly identical ones as this..in another store...for a much, much lower price...so noted...unless daughter wants one for her mantle..and BOGO is on...we'd pass on these ones...
This will be the first time we have put our tree in our downstairs family room...so likely won't have has much decor on the main floor...but will have some touches here and there...
Mr. Seventies & I celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary last week...I woke up to the most beautiful bouquet of roses...a beautiful card...containing two Amazon gift cards! This man knows the way to this old gal's heart!! We get Chinese food about once a year...so chose that as our anniversary meal...ordered in rather than dine out in a restaurant. With restrictions on the number of diners...and social distancing...this was a safer choice.
So..that is a wrap for today. Today sweet grand baby is seven months old! We are happy to report she is thriving...such a happy, healthy baby! Today she meets with her paediatrician...for a check up and later in the month she will be seen in Halifax where she had her heart surgery. Just a follow up appointment...all is well.
Have an awesome fall day where ever you are!
