TGIF! Have an awesome weekend everyone!
I am headed up north yet again for a mini vacation. My husband is staying behind to paint the interior of our house and it will be easier without kidlets on the loose. I chose a luscious cream color for most walls with a lovely melon color in the kitchen… I think they called it nectar but it reminds me of cantaloupe. Perhaps my hubby can get the landlord out as well since our sink has the annoying habit of giving us a teeny electric shock whenever you touch it… that can’t be good!
We also have a Halloween party to go to up there so we wouldn’t want to miss that AND my mom and I have been watching the DVD sets of Supernatural from the beginning… I got her hooked and we have to keep watching. I knew it would be her thing… she is a multi published paranormal author.
This week I have been in Thrift Store heaven!!! When the cold weather hit I realized that we were ill prepared. And where did Fall go anyway? It went from 90 to 50 overnight here! Anyway, I got all the kids lots of wool sweaters… there was an awesome selection of wool. I even found a super heavy duty, 100% wool coat in fire engine red, for my daughter for $2.99. She will be so toasty this winter!
I also got snow pants and jeans for all the kids, a couple more coats, long underwear for the boys, scarves, 3 beautiful ponchos, and a bunch of sheets and towels for sewing projects. Oh and books, got quite a few of those. I am enamoured with the thrift stores in this city. Most prices are around $1.99 for almost any item of clothing, except coats. My husband thinks I am insane because I have gone every day this week but he can’t argue when he sees my savings. I needed a new casserole dish for my famous veggie casseroles and I found one for $1.
Well, better sign off and clean house a little so I am not leaving hubby to deal with a mess while I am off having fun.
YOU have a great Fall weekend…
