| I can't believe the "trouble" I got into today, at Dollar Tree and Michaels. YOU Enablers, who got me all excited about how to decorate those two metal pieces, had me off to get some Fall florals. Now any sensible person would have WAITED and unpacked all her Fall things first, because said sensible person (HA!)knows she has a LOT.
But sensibility went one way while I went the other... shopping. (Whoever decided to put a Dollar Tree right next door to Michaels is nothing but a trouble-maker. I'm just sayin') DT had Fall florals for my pots on front porch, and some
I had a 50% off coupon for Michaels, that was the good news.
I probably wouldn't have gone shopping if not for some Enablers I know....I WAS going to start unpacking my Fall

| Ha,ha, You were just making up for lost time! Remember all those months you couldn't get out of the house. You deserve to go a little overboard once in a while. I had to run over to the hospital this evening for a bone density scan, and decided while I was out to check Family Dollar and Roses, they are both in the shopping center next to the hospital. I didn't find anything at Family Dollar, but Roses was painting/ redecorating and they had a lot of stuff marked down. They had 2 different stlyes/ sizes of amber/gold glass stemmed candleholders @$2 and $3, and a pair of *** PURPLE*** stemmed voitive holders for $3. Guess who I thought of? I didn't buy any of them, because I am running out of space, and ever sence, I got home I have kicked myself for not getting them, space or no space. When I go back, if they are still there, I will know they were ment for me to buy them. They also had 2 different styles of large apocarthy jars for $3, You are kicking yourself for buying and I am kicking myself for not buying. LOL Do any of you have a Roses near you? I find a lot of neat thing there pretty cheap. Janet |

| Karen...Janet.. I'm laughing over what you two gals did today and I guess you're both perfect examples of Damned if You Do...Damned If You Don't!! Karen it's funny I was at DT today too, and I saw neat Halloween decos - but the Moss and Florals made me think of you. Must have been your 'shopping vibes' on overload, sending out signals! I had DH w/me...so that put a damper on MY shopping. Glad you're able (in your mind) justify all your shopping on 'enablers'..but honestly, between going to a DT and having a 50% off coupon for Michael's - I don't think you need enablers to blame - unless it makes you feel better! lol Janet....I feel for you...been there - done that - not buying something you see, then pining away thinking about. Hope they're still there when you go back...I think the're 'meant for you' ! jane |

| Well, Karen, I would say that was just "smart shopping" on your part. Lots less expensive to get what you can at the DT, then hit the Michael's for the rest. I'm enjoying my light cottage decor with all my rose plates and flowers so not eager to switch out to fall colors. In fact, I'm thinking about just doing the fall decorating in the kitchen/family room areas this year for a change of pace. Need to get busy and dig out some of the Fall boxes to see what I already have and figure out what could go where. I'll also put some on the front pation like I always do. You talk about other enablers! YOU got me looking at that blog yesterday with all her pretty Fall decor so now my mind is turning in that direction. Not really planning on adding much new, but might try to paint a couple new pieces that I've seen in my magazines. Glad you had some fun shopping. Luvs |
