Monday Catch Up

Happy Monday!  We had a wet & windy weekend...with the odd appearance of sun every now and then.  I'm excited to share the Mason's Pink Vista soup tureen...it arrived...safe and sound.  I'd say the sellers were seasoned shippers...it was packed so well...with much padding...and wrapping!  The plate underneath is not the correct size...but if I use the larger plate...it's a bit thicker....and there is not enough shelf height for both tureen and plate...



The shelves are evenly spaced apart...so moving it to another shelf is of no resolve...for now I'll use the smaller plate...my cabinet is quite full with more plates, platters and bowls stored underneath.  My three tier cake stand will sadly not fit either in the cabinet or underneath.....it's tucked away in a cabinet in the kitchen...



I had some fun using my gift cards from Christmas to do a bit of on line shopping...I've been wanting a pair of Sperry boots for a while now...and since they came on sale...(and a great sale)...I ordered a pair.  From reviews I read, they run a tad on the large size...so I sized down.  I found the same thing with my Bean Boots from LL Bean...I should have sized down when ordering them.  I chose to keep them and wear thicker socks...I'm hoping the Sperry boots fit great.  If not...daughter will be getting new boots...lol.  
I chose this dark leather upper...I'm also hoping they are lightweight enough to be able to wear walking...



One of the gift cards I received was from Etsy...I found these soy tarts from a Canadian seller...based in Leduc, Alberta!  When Mr. Seventies and I were on vacation in Alberta...we stopped in Leduc for a lunch break!  I'm looking forward to the soy melts arriving...the reviews were 5 out of 5 stars! And I love that the seller offered free shipping.  If you are interested in her products...check out boohoo hound on Etsy (not a sponsored post btw).  I'll give my thoughts when I've had a chance to try them out...



And lastly...continuing to use my gift cards...I ordered the following tops...an adorable t shirt...and I'm a sucker for anything with bees on it...


This pretty top caught my eye...and I love the cut out area....super soft and looks very comfortable as well...


And this is my kind of top...soft and flowy...and a bit of a turtleneck...great to wear with jeans...my go to staple!



Today looks much drier and with the sidewalks being bare...it's going to be a great day to harness Liesel up and get a walk in.  Mr. Seventies took her yesterday...in between rain showers...she spent the remainder of the afternoon on guard duty.  The crows (the bain of her existence) were safe for a few hours....


We spent a couple of hours with daughter, hubby and grand baby on the weekend...she is our very heart and soul!  We enjoy hanging out with them....and of course...loving up on our girl.  She is getting so strong...almost sixteen pounds now!  

Hoping you have an awesome day!!
