Today's Haul...and Second Thoughts!

 I headed out this morning to see what I could find at HL to keep me busy this rainy weekend to come. I honestly didn't think I would find the frame I was looking for but it must be my lucky day. I not only found it but it was on sale! It's really pretty in person so I grabbed two. For some reason, I think it is a bit romantic looking and might be pretty done up for Valentine's Day as well as the one I'm going to do for Halloween. Here's what I came home with-more than I went for but that is nothing new. Lol

Do you see that massive bunch of olive branches? I have been looking for more of them for the last few months but my HL hasn't had them. When I was at daughter #3's house the other day I noticed a large urn full and asked her where she got them. Of course, she found them on Amazon. I am not the world's largest fan of online shopping unless I know exactly what I am after. I just didn't feel like looking through all of the options so I just let it go and figured they might eventually make their way back to HL.

Imagine my surprise when I stepped out my front door yesterday and found a large box from Amazon...and inside these beautiful branches. I am spoiled. I can't wait to add them to my decor.

And then there is that pumpkin candle. I must have looked at it six times in HL and each time I put it back on the shelf. There are beautiful pumpkin candles out there from Pottery Barn, Luminara and Crate and Barrel but they are about $70 each and as much as I love their look, I just couldn't quite justify the short amount of time they would be out for that price tag. This candle is smaller and I didn't think it was a timer candle. It is $15.99 but now 40% off so I finally decided today that I would go ahead and grab one. I was pleasantly surprised when I got it home and discovered that it is indeed an timer candle-a must for me these days because it is just no fun having to run around and turn things on and off every day!

Then I also grabbed that pumpkin pillow. Not sure why...it just spoke to me-and again, 40% off.

This is the frame I went after but I am now having second thoughts about using the printed image of the pumpkin man and mounting it on foam core. The fingers on that guy are just way too thin to cut around on the board.

I'm going to have to think about this one. Not sure where I will go from here but, since it is getting late on a Fri-YAY afternoon, it can wait until tomorrow.

I'm off to put everything away and then call it a day. If I get anything going, I'll be back to share. If not, have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe and stay tuned.
