FALL SHOPPING

 

Hello friends and Happy Wednesday!  I hope you have had a good day.  It was so warm today.  Almost 80*F (27*C) this afternoon.  We are supposed to have warm weather all week and I couldn't be happier.

I thought today I would show you the buys that I made this week.  On Monday Joe had to go to Target, so I went with him.  We each got a cart and split up.  I looked in the Dollar Spot -- my favorite place.  There were a lot of people there and I didn't want to pull out my camera and start shooting, so I didn't take any pictures there.  But there were lots of Halloween and fall stuff.  Someone had put a Glade air freshener there and when I saw that I made my way to where I knew they were kept to see just what fragrances they had.  So let me show you what I got.

In the Dollar Spot I got a pack of 8 booklets (16 pages each) with blank pages.  I knew just what I wanted to do with them.  I also got a sticker that says "hello FALL".  The stickers are on clear acetate and I am going to leave them there.  I will be putting it on the front window with tape and then I can use it over and over.  If I peeled the sticker off, I could use it only once.

On the way back to get the air fresheners, I passed a display of candy corn.  I LOVE candy corn so got a bag.  I found that people either love candy corn or hate it.

There were several different fragrances of candles, air spray and air fresheners available.  The one I had seen was called "Fall Night Long" and the description on the candle said it had notes of crisp fall air and smoldering woods.  It sounded wonderful, but when I sniffed it (and I could smell it through my mask) I didn't like it at all.  But I did find two I did like.  "Pumpkin Spice Things Up" smells like a fresh baked pumpkin pie and "Apple Cinnamon" has a very strong cinnamon smell which I like.  I smelled the candles so I could know what they smelled like, then bought the spray to bring home.

And here is what I bought the blank books for.

I am printing out pictures and using it as a scrapbook.  Most of the pictures are coming from this blog.

Yesterday when I dropped Debbie off after Bible Study I went to Dollar Tree.  I was looking for flowers to put in the pot in front of my house.  Nothing grows in that pot, so I put in fake flowers and it always looks nice.  I got mums, marigolds, gerbera daisies and one stem of red sunflowers.  I also couldn't resist a new dishtowel.  As if I needed another one.

This afternoon I put together the flower pot and put my fall wreath on the door.

I am slowly getting fall into the house.  So much more cleaning and decorating to do.  I wish I felt better to do it.  I'm still hurting some from the biopsy.

Have a good evening everyone.  I'll be seeing you again soon.
