Christmas Tree Shops & Home Goods Haul

-

Hi sweet friends,

I am still working on getting settled in our new house, so I apologize for not having posted for so long. I am planning to do a fall home tour series soon. In the meantime, I  thought I'd share a little haul from the Christmas Tree Shops and Home Goods. 

We did not have a Christmas Tree Shop any where near Wisconsin, so I was very excited to find one about fifteen minutes from our Kentucky home. I had been to this location a few years ago when visiting our daughter and son in law. I think this is one of those hit or miss kind of stores, but I will say they knock it out of the park for seasonal paper plates and napkins! Their prices for paper products are amazing and they have so many cute designs.

I was picking up my Wal-Mart grocery order nearby and decided to stop into the Christmas Tree Shop for the first time since moving to KY in August. I was in need of some fall paper plates and napkins.

Aren't these cute?




These seemed really sweet for desserts and snacking.

I picked up some dark chocolate pumpkin biscotti for our daughter. As a new mom, these will be a nice treat with her morning coffee. I also picked up a can of pumpkin spice and butter toffee peanuts. How could I possibly pass those up?😁



I thought these Halloween shaped tortillas chips would be fun with salsa.


 


They had an amazing amount of cute fall decor, but I pushed myself passed it since I'm still unpacking many bins of my own fall decor. I did have to backtrack and grab these cute wooden football pumpkins - too cute. We are a football loving family and these are adorable. Go Packers!

I also bought this little tea towel for just $1.00 and it could be used all year.



These cutting boards could be used as risers, trays or cutting boards, lol. The small was $2.99 and the larger just $7.99, so a real bargain. I also swooned over the hammered copper bowl - how cute filled with gourds for fall? The mini pumpkin cutting board/trivet is pretty enough for your table or even as art. And $1.99? Too good to pass up! The little mini sign (also $1.99) will look cute on a tiered tray in our master bath. 



Lastly, Home Goods was nearby and  I popped in to look at trays for our ottoman. I found one I loved, but it was $50 and just more than I wanted to spend.  The search continues! However, I did find these very pretty riser stands - I love the beaded edges. They are about 8" in size and were only $12.99 for the pair.




It was fun to take a break from unpacking/organizing and physically shop in a store! 

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and seeing what I'm up to. I am working on finishing up my fall decor and as I said, I hope to be doing a home tour series soon. 


Until next time,

    I think there is a Garden Ridge store around there. You can find things there too. We lived in Georgetown right down the road.

    Looks like a great haul Jane! I passed up those adorable risers at our TJ Maxx store one day. I was in a hurry and when I went back for them the next day, of course they were gone! So many possibilities for those! Looking forward to your home tour. Have a great weekend!

    Love those last riser stands. After a few months drought in HG and TJ...I was amazed on Saturday to see them stocked to the HILT...and packed with shoppers. I didn't buy anything seasonal, except a gift for my son's December birthday. Glad you are enjoying your new area, and finding some sources. HG, never fails to at least stimulate my decorating, if not make me purchase (last purchase was four porch chairs as ours were rusted and falling apart! Hugs, Sandi

Cold Weather Cozy

 Hi friends! It's been cold here in Kentucky and we even got a few inches of snow this morning. Winter has definitely shown up here and around the country! I actually enjoy cold weather and hunkering down in the house with warm sweaters, cozy  blankets and a steamy drink.  I have been working on a little kitchen refresh that I'm hoping to share in a few days. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy a few pictures of our living room fireplace area. I hope you all stay warm and have a terrific weekend! I made some homemade chicken soup this morning and it has been simmering away on the stove top - it smells so good on this blustery January day. I'm looking forward to having some for supper tonight!

Cozy Winter Favorites: Wax Melts

Hi friends! I've been thinking about the things that make my house a home and give me all the cozy feels during the cold and sometimes dreary days of winter. I also thought it might be fun to do a little series of posts about them to share with you! Today let's visit one of all time favorite ways I like to cozy up my home, not just in the winter, but year around - wax melts!  There are so many things to like about wax melts, but my number one reason I'm a fan is no open flame! No danger of fire, no dirty soot. Don't get me wrong, I love a good candle (and do use them) but yikes, they sure burn dirty and make a mess when used day after day. And of course, the danger of forgetting to extinguish them and the risk of fire.  I do like the smell - or "throw" - of a candle more than a wax melt, but the wax melts are a great alternative!   Wax melts can be very economical - only a few dollars for a pack that will last you many, many days. They are easy to find - avail...

2024 Will Be Enough

 Hi y'all! Happy New Year to all of you!  I've been thinking a lot about the new year and all the usual resolutions and expectations we all tend to set for ourselves with a 365 day clean slate presented to us each January 1st.  As the Christmas season unfolded, I also have been thinking about the pressures and expectations we tend to put on ourselves to make the Christmas experience "perfect."   We craft, we decorate, we bake, we entertain, we buy and yet, it never seems enough. Social media has a lot to do with this feeling of not doing or being enough. I noticed in so  many blogs and vlogs this past season, where the creators would constantly  apologize that "I need to repaint this room, our Formica countertops need to be replaced, we ran out of time to install new floors, the curtains are all wrong" and on and on and on. Nearly every post or video proclaims some embarrassment or disclaimer that their home was just not quite good enough. Yet, there h...
