Today is Islander Day - a provincial statutory holiday! In other provinces it's known as Family Day or Heritage Day.....here it's Islander Day......
Since it is a holiday most stores, schools, businesses & government services are closed today. There is a winter festival happening....known as the Jack Frost Festival....aimed at families gathering for many outdoor & indoor activities....sledding, tubing, skating, horse & buggy rides and indoors there is bouncy castles, face painting....and loads of other activities for kids & their families. Grand daughter here has a busy day of fun ahead!
I've come across a few "must have" pieces...these two items I ordered on Amazon...I'm crushing on these shoes big time....can't wait for them to arrive ......
Since I returned the pull on denim capris to Old Navy.... I was searching on Amazon and came across these....which is more what I had in mind with the elastic waist & tie .... (elastic is a girl's best friend).....
These are "barrel leg" jeans....I've never owned a pair....or tried them on.... I'm excited to see how they fit on me....
I couldn't resist this adorable night shirt....it's cute & thick enough to be worn during the summer days as well...it washed great....and I hung it to dry. We plan to pick up an indoor drying rack (a metal one)......as I need somewhere to hang most of my sweaters to dry. Remember the wooden ones? So aggravating to use.....hopefully the metal ones are sturdier....
The photos of this cardigan do not do it justice....it is so gorgeous! A Winners find.... it's snap closure....the pretty florals are not buttons....just decorative. It is such a thick, beautiful cardigan....photos do no capture the amazing shade of green.....
I've mentioned previously I no longer purchase table runners at Home Sense....there are so much cheaper on Temu....and there are hundreds available in various lengths to chose from. This 72" runner was a whopping $6.17!
Since Michaels is next door to Old Navy.... I decided to take a quick browse around .... spring has definately sprung there! A few gorgeous wreaths...... on BOGO! The first & last ones are my favourite...
A stack of "faux" books available ...... followed by a "faux leather" cushion....
Remember before Christmas when I shared this adorable poodle? It came in this colour, a softer pink and burgundy. Well...now they are on for 75% off! I didn't pick one up..... if it had been a dachshund....maybe.....
Remember when these "peeps" were a thing? Maybe they still are....but I find them nothing less than gag worthy! Growing up....my birthday cake (in the spring).....was always covered in "boiled icing".... (again gag worthy) and these marshmellow thingeys.....I detested those cakes! And got one every year!
I never shared that with my Mom or my sister who went above & beyond for decorating & celebrating my birthday....and the preparations done for my party .......
This dainty over the door wreath hanger is everything..... I see it being used inside the home..... to hang a wreath on a bedroom door....
It's fairly mild here these last few days..... we're enjoying getting out for walks daily. The pups are six weeks old today..... our son-in-law threw the name "Clancy" for a boy into the name mix! Ugh. I love it too! So Yancy or Clancy....it will be one if we are blessed with a boy....
We celebrated a low key Valentines Day....gifting each other with cards, chocolates & gift cards... (I received a gift card to Home Sense/Winners).....yay! Today we're putting a chicken stew in the crock pot....with dumplings!! A great hardy winter meal!!
Join me later today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphosis Monday and again tomorrow at https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talking About It Tuesday.....
Thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me!
Til next time.....
