It's been wet & windy here the last few days...and looks to continue into the week. So...what to do when it rains? Hit the stores and enjoy beautiful Christmas awesome-ness!
I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of stock at Michaels...but understand supply is difficult to get these days..but I did spot a couple of adorable items...how cute is this dog bowl ornament?
This candy cane arrangement would look amazing on a door....or set into a Christmas tree...
I chuckled at these Santas.. they are decked out for Santa's workshop...but I see Mr. Seventies & his trusty toolbelt...
The dachshund ornaments are down to only a few left....I did pick up one more....these are the last four available...
I've been considering these adorable milkshakes...they are $7 each...I'm going to see if they come on sale prior to Christmas. The problem with waiting for things to go on sale...they sell out before hand.
These snowflake iced cookies were not out when I was last in the store...so I picked up three of each colour....
I was surprised how everything is picked over and stock is depleted just since I've been picking up tree ornaments. (maybe other hubbies inadvertently gave their decor away too!!). Very glad I started when I did. The gingerbread men I found at Wal Mart....I actually picked up a couple more....so have 5 or 6 in total....
I stopped by Winners and was pleasantly surprised to find a couple of Rae Dunn pieces...
I suspect most of the Rae Dunn decor either is shipped to other provinces or stays in the US....as there is little available here....
How adorable is this glitzy dachshund ornament? With a price tag of $10...I didn't take one home....but it would make a beautiful gift for the dachshund lover....
I also want to share a sneak peek of what we have ordered...yes I know we got rid of our previous one...but this....this is gorgeous. Little back story behind this decision...I came across a similar headboard at Home Sense. Oh...I fell hard...and it stayed in my mind for days. Finally....I asked Mr. Seventies if he would come with me to the store...and measure the headboard. I was thinking more of it being a problem fitting into our SUV....but we have access to a utility trailer....so I was confident if I wanted to bring it home....it was do-able!
This headboard was marked Queen size...but when Mr. Seventies measured ...it is actually a king! And if you know Home Sense...it's one & done...there were only two king size ones available. I did advise a salesperson it was labelled incorrectly...to save someone the grief of taking it home & discovering it to be a king size. Not everyone thinks to measure first....I've learned that lesson...a few times...the hard way. Which is why I find it best to involve Mr. Seventies...my voice of reason.
Not to be deterred...I found the one pictured above online...it's in stock and will be delivered later this month. I have missed having a headboard..but do not have room for a traditional bed with headboard & footboard. I plan to use my white Lazy Bones quilt set from Anthrolopologie on the bed...with a couple of pretty Christmas decorator cushions. That's about all the decorating I'm doing in the bedroom....
And....lastly...I've finally pulled the trigger on getting a pair of Ugg boots!! I had a pair...years ago when they first came out...however they were taller than these and I've been wanting a shorter pair. With bows...
I mean,...who doesn't love bows? These boots are very warm...especially for cold, late fall days. Keeping in mind these are not suitable for wet, snow, slushy weather....but perfect for dry, cooler weather....
I've just about finished up on Christmas shopping! I love when it's done early...that way it can be a surprise to me as well when the gift is opened....since I usually forget by Christmas Day!! By the look of the stores and traffic the last few days, I'd say everyone is trying to get things done early...with hints of supply being an issue this year.
Our 19 month old grand-baby is going to be a true joy to watch this Christmas! Tomorrow she & her parents travel to the IWK (where she had heart surgery) for a check up...they are keeping an eye on her kidneys, One is a tiny bit smaller than the other...we don't think it's a major issue...but they need to see her on a regular basis, run tests, etc.
Since they are required to travel through one province to get to another for her appointment...reams of paperwork & documents....and Covid rapid tests will be required. I'm sure it will be an exhausting day for them. And.....only one parent can be with the baby during the appointment!! Which means her father will be required to wait in their vehicle! Crazy is the world we now live in.
Thank you for stopping by & spending a bit of your time with me. Have an awesome day wherever you are!
