This Is The Week!

It's finally here.  Surgery scheduled for Wednesday.  I'll take some time...to heal & gain mobility again.  Lots of work ahead...pain management, exercises & physio appointments.  Not gonna lie....not excited about it.  I'll get through it...happy to have it behind me before the warmer months.  Mr. Seventies has the guest bedroom ready for me...turned the bed to allow more room for ease of getting around...


I had planned to do a re-fresh in the guest bedroom.....but that didn't happen.  Plan to get done in the fall.

I took a quick trip around Winners one afternoon....came across a couple of pretty lamps...I'm crushing this this blue one....although I'm not a huge fan of pleated shades....



Not the best photo of this one....but notice the cord is covered!  I've not seen that done...unless it's put on after purchase.....I do like the idea of covering the cords.  And now with rechargeable bulbs & remote controls....cords may become a thing of the past...



I'm seeing a lot more patterned shades...and I'm loving them!!  DIYers have been doing it for a while now...happy to see the retail world has caught up...


This bunny butter dish had me from hello.....I came ever so close to buying it!  Except...we don't use butter....but still....it's adorable....sweet for an Easter table.....


This basket tho!!  I considered picking it up as well....but I could almost hear Mr. Seventies eyes rolling in the back of his head thinking I need....yet again....another basket....


This adorable soap dispenser....complete with bunny tail!  And full of soap too!


I came home empty handed....but it was fun to browse around!  And....I must tell you about our local Wal Mart!  If you've been reading here for a while now....you've likely read how sad and run down our store is.  Well....no more!!!  For weeks now they've been doing renovations....bright new floors....and the stock they have brought it in!!  

Like nothing we've had here in our store before!  The women's clothing section goes on & on....lovely new, great priced fashions!  I picked up a beautiful sweater & shorts & top set!  I can't wait to check it out!  again.  I'm gobsmacked peeps!  I hope they are able to keep the store well stocked & fresh & clean!  The grocery section is undergoing a full make over as well!

Remember the Elise Love quilt from Pottery Barn?  It arrived - and wow....it is gorgeous!!  I'm very happy with it....so much so I ordered a set of matching Euro shams!  They are on back order....with a delivery date the middle of July!  They will be worth the wait though!  The crotched shams arrived - they are beautiful...and I can't wait to dye them pink!  



For the family room....I had ordered these cushion covers from Amazon - they are absolutely gorgeous....and under $20...for two!!


I have another set of cushions that need freshening up.... these should work...from Amazon as well.....I'm hoping they will be a bit more muted in colour.....


I picked up these cute bowls at the thrift store....as I can always use more bowls!  Three different sizes with the smallest one being perfect size for a food bowl for Liesel....she gave it two paws up...



My posts & outings will be limited the next few weeks....I hope you are able to drop in &  leave me a comment....I will definitely need the company!!   (I cannot drive for a month post surgery)....

I'm hanging out today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphis Monday...please join me there....

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

Have an awesome day & thank you so much for hanging out with me!! 

Til next time.....

  1. Wednesday, you say. Oh my gosh, Charlotte, that is imminent! Yes, you will be glad to have it over with for sure. Fingers crossed for a successful surgery and recovery. The new quilt is gorgeous and I can't wait to see it all together. I have always loved printed lamp shades. Love the covering of the cord too. Good luck with everything and take care over there, my friend!

  3. I haven't been by the blog lately, so I have missed the post about your surgery. So whichever surgery it is, I pray it goes smoothly and you have a speedy recovery! That bunny butter dish is adorable, I would have been tempted to get too.
