Let's Go Shopping on a Snowy Day!!

It's a winter wonderland out there today....but nice & cozy inside snuggled up by the wood pellet stove. It began snowing here late last night...it has just about stopped as I'm typing this.....schools are closed for the day....and surprisingly there is not much of a wind!

Before we begin our browse around Home Sense....I ordered this candle from a seller on Etsy....and she tucked in a "free gift" - doxie charging cable for my iPhone!  


The charger cord has a number of jacks....it can be used on various iPhones....depending on the model...and one fits my phone perfectly!  I can use it to charge my phone on my laptop....we also have a charger sitting on the kitchen counter where you set any model of phone or ear pods on for charging...


During my trip around Home Sense....look what I spotted!  Add to cart....immediately....



Look at this adorable holiday hoodie....marked down to $4!!  It was added to my cart so fast!  It wasn't a big investment, size XS....in the event it doesn't fit our pup next holiday season....I'm only out $4!

Our pup is 15 days old today!  I so want to ask the breeder for any updated photos....but don't want to be a PITA (pain in the a$$)....



How awesome is it to  have a neighbour who fuels your dachshund obsession!  She came across this at Home Sense a few days ago....and purchased it for me!  (she had to apparently....there was only one in the store)!  Mr. Seventies asked if I was going to bake....(I detected a hint of sarcasm in his voice).....these would be awesome ice cubes!!


Some beautiful cushions....this one had me at hello....and it was feather filled....not foam or batting....


Foam and/or batten filled cushions are a Pet Peeve of mine....(that on not closing the toilet lid!)....maybe it's just me....moving on....look at this piece of pretty perfection....



What makes this kitty cushion more adorable.....the tail that hangs down!  We've never owned a cat...Mr. Seventies is allergic to them....some bother him more than others!   Go figure....but look at that little tail!!


I'm crushing on this pretty pink checked cushion....adorable....it would be so cute on a bed.....and could be used year round....


I have a dear friend on the mainland....who recently lost her little "Mexican"....(as she lovingly called her)
how adorable is this piece?  She is also Mama to a standard wire hair dachshund....when I first met her a few years ago....she had three standard wire dachshunds.....and one little chihuahua....her fur family is down to one sweet wire boy....



Luv this....adorable toast & jam....strolling hand in hand...


I still have a passion for anything bunny....and one driving a car was almost too hard to pass up....


This adorable set....dish towel and scrubbies....is so cute!  I could never use the dachshund scrubbies though....I wouldn't want to dirty them up....so not practical for me....


When I left Home Sense I needed to pop into Wal Mart.....and came across some dachshund stuffies...for only $3.98 each!   I picked up a couple of our younger grand daughters....


And in other news.....we are on the hunt for a new bed frame & headboard.  As much as we love the four poster bed....its height is becoming an issue.  Well, to be perfectly honest...I suspect our new pup may end up in the "big bed" with us....and there is no way I would risk a fall or jump off the bed!   Could be instant back trauma....

It sounds crazy to say that is the reason why we are "downsizing" to a lower bed frame....but it's the truth..    Daughter recommends a plush headboard with padded frame....this one from the floor to the top of the frame (not including mattress)...is only 12 inches.....no box spring is required....but that would depend on the comfort for us....we're just beginning our search.... this particular one has great reviews....





Join me later today with other bloggers over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphosis Monday and again tomorrow with Joanne at https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talking About It Tuesdays.....

Thanks so much for spending a bit of your time with me....greatly appreciated!  

Til next time.....

  2. Ah Charlotte. The excitement builds as it gets closer to the big day when the pup comes home! I looks like you had fun at HomeSense and the pillows are adorable. I'm trying to stay out of HomeSense, especially this time of year when all the Easter stuff is coming in (bunnies are my weakness lol). Even worse is that the HomeSense nearest to me also has a Marshall's attached - if you manage to resist the home goods then there's always the apparel to tempt you. The doxie candle is so cute and so is the new pup coat. Good luck with the new bed search and stay cozy over there as I heard you had some nasty weather your way. Take care, my friend!

  3. Oh I would love a Marshall's store! There is one on the mainland, along with Winners & Home Sense. And.....we have a love of bunnies in common...lol!! Them & cows are my weakness. We received about 29 cm of snow....the light fluffy kind which is easier to move around. And we are heading into a deep freeze this weekend! Ah....to be a Canadian...in winter! Have an awesome week my friend!!
