Nothing Like Retail Therapy!

I enjoyed an afternoon of local shopping....nothing any better to lift one's spirits!  It has rained here every day...since November 11th!  The ground is soggy & drenched....high winds have been another issue.  Poor Liesel has only been walked a couple of times since the "monsoon" began....she's getting a bit "shack happy".... 

But it's not snow!  So there is that...

I picked up a  couple of things to wear during the holidays...I'm crushing on this awesome sweater....which is so soft & comfortable.....(these pieces are available at Maurices)......on their website or in store....

I paired it with an oversized shirt....which can be worn over the sweater....or by itself....

I fell hard for these...I use them as slippers...but they can be worn outside...if you prefer....they are so cozy & warm....

Since my previous leather jacket is much too big ...I ordered this one online.  However, it runs very small & a size large was a bit snug.  It likely would have stretched (as leather does)....but I decided to return it & order an XL...I love the cognac colour and that it is fitted.  A great jacket for wearing in the car & running errands...

I had a loverly afternoon shopping....however the traffic & the stores were extremely busy!  The sales have started & with the crappy weather....folks are getting out & in the mood to do some Christmas shopping!!

We recently spend an enjoyable evening with our sweet neighbours...the last time we attempted to enjoy time catching up....I suffered my heart attack.   This evening ended much nicer & we had a wonderful time...enjoyed some delicious snacks & drinks....and exchanged gifts.  Of course, they know anything doxie is a huge hit with me....how cute are these adorable pieces??  

And an adorable ornament for our tree...the only decoration on it...(but I'm working on it)!!

I came across a wonderful idea for a heartfelt gift for Mr. Seventies!  (this pic is from their website..).  It will have our names on the tailgate....and the license plate # is our wedding date...month/day/year and with the caption as shown (which is a line from a song, btw).

I chose a 16'x32" framed canvas....cannot wait for it to arrive.   If you want the website.....leave a comment & I will share....(shipping is free....however Canada Post is currently on strike....no mail is moving!!)...

Another busy week of medical appointments (two today), hair appointment, vehicle oil change and two afternoons of cardiac rehab classes....

Our electrician was here a few days ago & repaired the outside electrical outlet....a very quick fix!  Mr. Seventies hopes to get outside (between rain showers) this week & put Christmas lights on our Yew tree...
