Cold Temps Have Returned!!

 

After a few days of seasonal weather.....we are back in a deep freeze today!!  Good news - it will be sunny!  There are no snow storms in our long range forecast....that can change quickly though....

Mr. Seventies has a buddy on the Island today, his grandson is in a hockey tournament....we have plans to meet up with him & catch up.  Always nice to meet up with old friends.  

I haven't been too far this week....I placed my red toile bedding on our new bed.....I had dropped it off late last week for laundering....as it is too bulky for my washer & dryer to handle.  (the comforter is quite heavy as well).  We have one main laundry service downtown....they do a wonderful job either laundering or dry cleaning.  In the past there use to be 2-3 other laundry services.....but they closed...

Another neighbour came across the same dachshund I picked up at Winners (currently on the bed)....and came so close to buying it for me!  When he was telling Mr. Seventies about it....he was advised not to worry....I was way ahead of him & had purchased one already!

I love when friends & neighbours are on the lookout for me!  They are as excited as we are.....awaiting the arrival of our pup....(who is officially 4 weeks old now).....

After picking up the bedding.....I popped into one of the thrift stores....not much caught my eye...I picked up this baking dish for daughter in Nova Scotia.  She is moving into a new home in the country (not a new build) later in the month.  It's an adorable rustic home....two storey, three bedrooms, two baths....all appliances included....along with a snow blower & lawn mower in a storage shed....

On her last visit....I sent two large boxes of things for her home....she is excited to get moved in!

I regret not getting this squat pitcher....would make an adorable flower vase....(not that I need more of them)...

I have a thing for bee skeps...this one was no exception.....although I left it for someone else to love....

Remember when barn stars were all a thing?  I still love them....have three small ones on the pool deck wall....but the thrift store is asking way too much for this one....in my opinion - it should be priced at $3.99.....not $7.49.....

This adorable jar was exactly what I was searching for....to use as a treat jar....when I whip up a bath of home made dog biscuits.....(my extent of baking fyi)......but it was marked on the bottom not food safe...ugh.  So cute.....

An adorable gingerbread mug....I've got so many Christmas (and dachshund) mugs.....I don't need any more.....but this one is so cute....

It's only February.....but my thoughts are turned to summer....and with warmer clothing arriving in the stores...I hope to get out & about and do some "browsing"..... I do know of a couple of pieces I hope to pick up....wide leg denim capris being top of my list...

Since losing weight....(and I am not vain in any way).... I don't like showing my upper arms!   I know that no one else cares.... it's a me thing.  Same with my upper thighs.... which is fine....I'm too cold and not comfortable wearing short, shorts....but my arms I prefer 3/4 or long sleeves..  Silly, aren't I?

How about you?  Are you longing for warm, sunny days?  When it's easy to slip on summer footwear... forgoing winter wear?  

Thank you for being here with me..... I so appreciate you stopping by!  Have an awesome weekend!!

Til next time....
