Things I Love

Admittedly, I am a shop-0-holic gal, and even if I don't click the 'buy' button it doesn't mean I don't dream about this stuff... well, although last night I dreamt about babysitting two young boys and their two goats, getting them off to school and goat day care, whilst a flock of real estate agents sleuthed through our home due to someone having listed it on 'Hot Homes'.  Ugh.

This blush colored cardigan sweater would be a much better dream.

I did purchase this scarf over the week-end, just because it's such a classic plaid.
AND, Target has such great prices.

So, who out there owns a super nice quality leather jacket?
I had a brown one..... had it for YEARS, and it was styled somewhat like this black one, but the brown one did not fit me anymore and would NEVER have fit me anymore. so I finally chose to replace it with this great looking black one from Talbots.
They were having a 25% off sale or I never would have considered the purchase...
it's more than I spend on a jacket, but considering how many years my brown one served me, I knew that this would be worth the money.
It's ordered and won't be here for about a week.
I'll let you know more about it then.
*hoping it looks sweet with the pink sweater my husband gave me for our anniversary!*
Well, okay.... so he gave me a gift card and I purchased the sweater.... details details.

We had 6-7 inches of rain this past week, over the course of just a couple of days, and it made me start thinking about rain boots... you know, the cute ones that Hunter sells.
BUT, I know they would not be warm for winter, so why buy them now, and I don't leave the house much when it's rainy, except for a grocery run, AND I also think that human feet inside rubber boots could get a bit schweddy.  The thought of schweddy feet?  Not appealing to me.
SO, no splashing around it puddles just for fun for this girl.

Our world has been a bit quiet over the past couple of weeks,
other than the pounding of my husband's tools as he ran electrical needs in the basement so that we can plug the generator directly into the house this winter when and if needed.  That business of running cords through the house/basement and up the stairs to specific appliances during power outages was not his idea of fun or convenience.... and being an (retired) electrical engineer, not only does he want things to be convenient, but the man simply needs projects in order to be happy.
Hence, our generator now plugs directly into the house, which is as it should be
and how it was at our last home.
Old Man Winter will be here before long, and we shall be ready for him.

So, that's it for a 'things I love' post.  Including the man.

Things I Love



These are just a few things I stumbled over this morning while reading blogs.
Links to the things I love:

My hair has thinned out, but if I could still do a bun, I would do THIS BUN because it is fun!

I've been collecting a few pins for the lapel of my jean jacket.  This one is FAR OUT!

Pintrill has great, fun pins, but they sell out fast, so if you see one that someone might want this Christmas.... click on it and buy it NOW! 

Jane Mount on Etsy has pins of BOOKS!  These look wonderful!

Would totally wear this shirt with a great looking pair of jeans.... if it weren't over-priced!

Starting to look like a frazzled frumpy over-worked mom or grandma?  Try taking that Wal-Mart SHELL up a notch!

I saw this PILOT JACKET at their local store yesterday and it's AWESOME!

Saw THIS... BOUGHT IT!

Saw THIS, but didn't buy it.  Very cute though....

Here's a CUTE BICYCE PILLOW on clearance!

Have fun doing your Sunday Shopping!

things I love today

We all do it.
Snoop around the internet.
Subscribe to blogs, stores and websites.
And this subscribing leads us to other links, obscure at times, but things we find interesting or fulfilling to us that had we not subscribed to a particular website we never would have come across.

Today I give you a few things I love that one or another blog subscriptions led me to.
I hope you find at least one that you enjoy.

I want to make THIS salad.

THIS made me miss my dad who has been gone for nearly sixteen years.

Francescas has some FUN THINGS.  I may need to try this scarf!

BAUBLE BAR has cute tortoise cuffs.

Funny Socks!

Or THESE

Or perhaps THESE because we all love KATE!

Excitement in Sioux Falls.  I guess you could call it that.

The FORGOTTEN ARROWS of navigation.  Very interesting.

Beautiful ways to DECORATE EGGS

I've ordered new eyeglasses.... think Buddy Holly. LOL  Will show you when I get them.
Just tired of wearing 'ordinary' looking glasses and needed a change.
When I told my husband what I had ordered he laughed.
Stay tuned.

Have a superb week-end!
