Everything Is Just Ducky!

Today is a holiday here....Islander Day!  Everything is closed...and a storm forecasted for last night & today...didn't materialize.  There was snow, freezing rain & high winds expected....we received little snow...a bit of ice pellets & rain...and the winds are due to arrive later today.

I'm not complaining.... there's warnings of potential power outages....ugh.  The winds, just since I started this post, have begun to pick up!!  And snow flurries are flying around again....

In other news....the ducks have arrived!!  I'll admit, they are adorable....but a tad overpriced...staring out at $35 going up to near $60!   Does that seem a tad high to you?  

They are available in various sizes & heights....and each one carries a name tag!!  Some wearing rain gear...or rain hats & boots....or helmets....and some are nekkid!!

I did not purchase one...although the quality is amazing!  They are available on Amazon....I'm not certain if the workmanship is the same though....I may break down & get one.....likelyone with a hat & floral rain boots!!

While there, I took a few minutes to browse around....they are getting in spring & summer decor...gorgeous canvases....this one is swoon-worthy....and huge.  I prefer canvas paintings to be framed...but that is just me....

This one....had me at first tweet!  I love birds....and we have an abundance of chickadees at our feeders daily!  I do know we have cardinals here now....and it would be awesome if one or more would pay us a visit!!  I wish I had room for this one....Mr. Seventies made the suggestion to take down my antiques metal sign (to the right of my dish cabinet) ....and this could fit there....need to ponder that idea .....,,

This one is screaming summer to me!  It was a great size & I can see this in a cottage....again framed would be nice....

Does this one look a bit familiar?  

Let me jog your memory....I'm still obsessed with this canvas.... happy I purchased it when I did....

The coastal & beachy decor has made its arrival.....some love it.  Having grown up with a family cottage you'd think I would as well....and maybe if we had a cottage I would enjoy it more   I am not a beach person....not a fan of salt water...having spent my childhood swimming in fresh water lakes & rivers....or pools...

A great assortment of mugs arrived!!  Of course, these ones are my favourite....

One may have found its way into Mr. Seventies Valentine's gift bag......

Speaking of Valentines Day....I hope yours was lovely!  Mr. Seventies gifted me a gift card to Home Sense...chocolate and this card!  (he must have been a rotten kid......just sayin')....

These mugs were tempting as well....I showed restraint... having an abundance of them....I couldn't agree more with the second mug though....

February is Heart Month - this t-shirt arrived & I'll wear it with honour!  A number of years ago during the "Red Dress " campaign (geared towards educating women in heart health).... red dress lapel pins were sold...

Mr. Seventies purchased a pin for me (way back in 2009) during that campaign....in support of the Heart & Stroke association.  This is the pin....

Liesel is just about fully recovered....while we still have the x-pen set up...we leave the door unlatched & she goes in & out on her own.  She's content in the pen, snuggled up in blankets in front of the pellet stove.  Today is the first day we did not administer pain medication....we will continue to watch her closely...

And since it's Monday....please join me later today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphis Monday....

And tomorrow with Joanne at https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talking About It Tuesday and Marty at  https://www.astrollthrulife.net/ for Inspire Me Tuesday....

Thanks for hanging out with me today...I'm hopeful we don't lose our power,..the winds have really picked up....

Til next time....
