Shopping Today....

     These are actually some old picture from last year's Parisian Market at the  Tipton Horton's store. I like this cotton ball wreath. I don't know why I didn't price it.
  Today, I am going to Hobby-Lobby, maybe Big Lots too.  Not that I need anything new. Some times I just go for the decorating ideas. Seeing something you may already have, but in a new and exciting color. Then go home and paint, that is a cheap decoration.
  I see in this photo, an old silver plated tray with chalkboard paint in the very center. Something to hang in your kitchen. A small step ladder with potted plants on the steps. Cute . If I buy anything, I will show my blog pals. We all love seeing what others buy to use in their décor.
  Gloomy grey skies today, no more 40 degrees either. :):)  Enjoy this day. XO

    1. Nellie, I was amazed your husband played golf. Bj's blog is called Sweet Nothings. She cooks quite a bit too. She posted a beer bread recipe earlier. I did see some cute ideas today...but I wore out fast. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  5. Have a fun day shopping! Wish we were going together! Love those old photos, just a glimpse here and there of ideas always helps me do something really fun around here. We are in the high 30s, but 40s coming back tomorrow and Saturday. Then watch out- the snow is going to be flying again. Just hope it isn't too much.

I saw a nice set of dishes I was interested in. Yes, honey, our nice weather is waning again. but I know it's not long till spring and that helps me hang tough. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    1. I do like to pick up ideas from all the little markets that the Hortons have in their store. They will be having a Spring market ,I think in March. As I drove by the store Saturday, I saw a pink ruffled ball gown in the window...you know like someone wore in the 50's to a prom. I need to get a picture of it. :) Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    1. Sandi, I saw where the East coast was having some nasty weather. Be safe. I did look for chalkboard paint today and changed my mind...just bought some little chalkboard stick on tags. :):) I am truly trying to not buy things I really won't use up. xoxo,Susie

  13. I like the cotton wreath, too...may make one for next fall...we have a LOT of cotton fields around this part of Texas. I could just hot glue the cotton bolls onto a grapevine wreath.

    1. Bj, you could probably hot glue some cotton pods(balls) on a piece of cardboard cut into a wreath and covered with pages from a paperback book. (thrifty) Show sus if you make one. :):) Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  14. Susie, sure sounds like you had a nice day! I like to "eye" shop too. See what others had done, then make it yourself! smile...

    Blessings,

    1. Gert, I have made wreaths after I see them in a shop. The one I copied was priced at 65 dollars...it was a wire frame, rolled pages from a paperback book and a large ribbon....too little for so much. So I made my own vertion....I use the cardboard from a pizza box for the wreath shape. LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
