Monday, Monday!

 Usually I don't venture out on a Monday. I prefer to use the day to catch up from the weekend and do what I need to plan the coming week. But, I am notorious for acting once something is in my head no matter how much I really might not want to. And so, that was the situation today! When I was at daughter #3's house on Saturday she was showing me some candles she had picked up at Michaels when she had to kill some time waiting for a framing order for a client to be finished. Now, she is not one to usually have the "flameless" candles. She prefers "real" ones in beautiful vessels. So do I actually except that I am at the age now where I might very well forget about a real one and even if it is in a vessel, it doesn't need to continue to burn if no one is watching...but, I digress.

She showed me two beautiful, large green fluted candles that she found and loved and I was immediately taken with them. They are not from Luminara-which is the company I prefer because they just look so much more realistic and even though I have used mine for many, many years, I have never had one stop working-and I'm not totally in love with the flame but, for whatever reason, I loved those candles and decided that I "needed" them in my life. And so, off I went on a Monday morning!

And then I found that pumpkin. I have a smaller one from HL but I couldn't pass this beauty up...one can NEVER have too many pumpkin candles. Lol And then I spied the gold turkey. I don't have a lot of Thanksgiving decor so another turkey is always welcome. And, all of this autumn goodness was 50% off. 

I'm off to find homes for the candles and you will see Mr. Turkey back in November-which will be here before we blink! Stay safe and stay tuned.
