Good Things Happening Here!

Firstly.....Mr. Seventies sees a surgeon next week ....... hopefully surgery won't be far behind!   He is doing okay.,.... sore & not one to enjoy being on the down low.  The compression belt helps... he couldn't get around without one....

We got a dusting of snow.....it melted before son-in-law was required to clear it away.....

And look what is coming to our town!!  F-i-n-a-l-l-y!!   Opening Spring 2026 - which is soon!!  I especially love this store in the fall & Christmas time.....they come out with some pretty cool items!


I swung by Winner's the other day....lots of pretty spring & summer pretties in the store!!  I'm obsessed with this Betsey Johnson handbag!!  I'm contemplating getting it ......the only drawback & you cannot see it in the photo.....is the strap is attached to the bag with chains.  Ugh.  Now I'm thinking I could use it without the shoulder strap.....and therein lies my hesitation.....I'm not a fan of chains......



This little dog bowl was marked down to $5.....immediately added to cart!



I've been wanting a pair like this....for ever.  Every time I see them online .....the store selling them is a scam & has horrible reviews.  When I saw these.....I grabbed a pair.  I purchased a size large...overly confident they would fit.

They didn't.  Now....in past years that would have sent me into such a depression & on yet again.....another diet to lose weight!   I'm going to exchange them for an XL and move on!  


I've learned the issue is with clothes sizing ......not me.  It took a while to get that.  This pretty, spring sweater is so soft....I could not resist getting it.....in a size Medium!  (it's also available in blue).....the length of the sleeves is perfect....not quite to the elbow on me .........softest fabric ever .......


I took a few minutes to browse the home decor aisles....while I love looking at the candles....I find they burn "dirty" ....... giving off a petroleum smell.  Is it just me or does anyone else find that?   Unless the candles are soy I no longer purchase them.  The tart melts I purchase aren't like that in my experience....

How cute is this one though?


This piece has me confused ..... a bunny riding on a chicken?  Things that make me go hmmmm.....


This vase was quite large .........and gorgeous!  Just wow.  It was priced at $29.99.....I didn't love it that much to spend that though..... would you?


A couple of great kettles .......the black & white one is giving off MacKenzie Child's vibes.  I previously owned a MacKenzie Child's black & white checked kettle .......at that time they didn't have a whistle.  See where this is going?

Mr. Seventies let it boil dry ......to the point the kettle was ruined.  He felt terrible & offered to replace it....but I'm happy with our electric cordless kettle....(and it shuts off when boiled)......


This piece is adorable.....not a fan of the crown.....but the pretty embroidery.....and those pearls.....



Easter decor is exploding in the stores ....... with bunnies & chicks everywhere.....

We've had a couple of chilly overnight temperatures...... cold windchills still happening.  Monday was brutal.....grand daughter had an outing with kindergarten cancelled (and rightfully so).....it has been rescheduled for today.....sleigh rides, sledding & hot chocolate & cookies!  To be a kid again ........

Thanks so much for being here today.....have an awesome weekend!!

Til next time ......

  1. Good news hubby has an appt with the surgeon next week. Hope he gets a surgery date very soon. Loved going shopping with you, as usual. Cute sweater and even cuter doggie bowl. Yes, go for the purse. It’s very pretty. You’ll enjoy Bath and Bodyworks. I like a lot of their products especially the foaming hand soap - so many lovely fragrances. Happy weekend. Hugs, Elaine
