My Latest Finds & Visit to Wheatons

Welcome to a brand new month!!  Only 24 days til Christmas!!  How's your shopping going?  The stores here have been insanely busy....and traffic is crazy for such a small Island!  We are almost ready for the big day....if I'm in the stores it's only to get in everyone's way....

I want to share my latest finds....sort of Merry Christmas to me!   When I visited Bath & Body Works on the mainland.....I could not resist these doxie items....side note - there is a rumour Bath & Body Works is opening a store here....(could just be a rumour....)......this is an air freshener visor clip for the SUV....I have one I purchased a number of years ago....but this pretty little one is adorable...(I have a few of the discs that go inside)....fitting for the holiday season....

I hauled Mr. Seventies into the store.....to show him this!  The heart wants what the heart wants!  I did not resist.....

When your favourite pj store is having a 2 for 1 sale....it's hard to resist!  I purchased this cozy set for myself....and gave the same set to daughter....so snuggly for those cold nights! (pardon the early morning bedhead!!)

I came across these sheets in Home Sense...& while 100% cotton....they are very nice....washed & dried beautifully....I've find Laura Ashley sheets to be decent quality at a decent price.....this toile pattern goes well with our toile bedding.....

I was in need of a pair of warm, waterproof, rubber soled winter boots....and these hopefully fit the bill....I wasn't concerned about the "look" as much as having a suitable pair of boots for our winters!  The Columbia boots I currently have...while super warm & waterproof....are like adding 5 pound weight to each foot!  (in my opinion).....I'll give these ones a go...if they are a bit more lightweight....I'm good to go...

I have been searching for weeks for a knee length puffer vest....to no avail!  You'd think it would be an easy find....but it hasn't been....I found this one on Amazon....it will arrive tomorrow.  I cannot wear a heavy jacket when out & about....hoping a warm hoodie & vest will work....

And lastly for this round of my recent purchases.....this mattress protector is currently on our bed....and it is amazing quality for a great price!  It looks really dark....it's more of a gray colour - (not black as it looks in the photo)  & is so soft & comfortable......sleeping on anything firm is a killer for my lower back.....

While on the mainland, I visited Wheaton's a home decor & furniture store.  There are additional stores in other cities in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.....this was my first visit to the store in Moncton.....

Firstly, the parking lot was just about full....Mr. Seventies was lucky to sneak into a parking spot.....and the store was just about as full!  I thought perhaps there was a huge sale going on....tax free sale perhaps....but no such promotions were on....a great price on holiday cushions tho....

Adorable hot pads....great for setting hot pots and dishes on....

These adorable "mug rugs"..... coasters were some of my favourite.....

In addition to a jam packed store of awesomeness.....there was an additional "Christmas Room".....I was fully overwhelmed & it takes a lot to overwhelm me.....but this room was a lot for the eye & brain to comprehend....(in a good way)....

So many decorated trees......I won't assault your senses with photos of all of them.....it was Christmas overload....I chose a couple of my favourites.....

And the store carries some gorgeous canvases......this one for under $100 was calling to me......(I need more wall space).....

I took a quick peek into the furniture side of the store.....Wheaton's sell high quality, Canadian made furniture....like this gorgeous dining set...and rocking chair....

There was a vast assortment of additional furniture...a number of beds & bedroom pieces.....all exceptional quality.....

Believe it or not....I didn't purchase anything!  Lots I wanted to....but the cash...(three of them).....were lined up to the back of the store & moving incredibly slow!   I don't have the patience to stand forever in line ups.....give me a self checkout any day!  There was a great assortment of wax tarts I was interested in.....but left empty handed!

In other news.....we have our first "Special Weather Statement".....potential snowfall & high northeasterly winds...from Tuesday afternoon through until Wednesday afternoon!  Ugh. 

Anytime we get winds with any amount of snowfall.....means a messy day or two with potential power outages!  

Such is life!  We'll hunker down with hot chocolate & gingerbread cookies & wait out the storm!
