or it's raining and then turning to ice!
Either way there's no school today.
My daughter will be happy
as she had a couple of hard exams today,
one being physics....
she does well in this class,
but it is a struggle for her.
This will give her more time to study!
On dark, gloomy, cold days like these,
I like to go around my Home and light a few candles!
(my picture taking needs work, so please excuse me)
~white chocolate~
This was just an inexpensive little local grocery store candle.
But, once it pools the scent is amazing!
~ vanilla cinnamon brulee~
This is a cheapy from Menards.
I know my candle topper is fall themed....
but I like how the light looks thru the cutouts.
~ hazelnut cream
fresh baked muffins
&
chocolate pound cake~
This 3 layered lovely I picked up yesterday at Wal-Mart.
I have good luck with their candles.
I find if I let my candles burn long enough to pool at the top,
that is when I get the most scent & the candle isn't
wasted with a bunch of wax clinging to the sides when
it reaches the end. Of course the wicks need to be
trimmed everytime I light them to burn. That
saves on the wick being all sooty so to speak
and releasing all the black stuff into the air.
pure yummy~ness!
After I dropped my daughter and her friends off at the mall
for her Birthday on Saturday, I went around to the stores
I enjoy. It was nice to be out and about after my long
stay at home the last few months. I picked up this bright green
ceramic bird topiary at T.J. Maxx. It is crackled and I love the color!
I picked this bird up at Tuesday Morning. I really like his
metal legs. I've had the nest a few years, not sure where I
picked that up. I'm starting to get my Spring on here in our Home.
Just nudging nature along a bit!
I picked this little green planter up at
T.J. Maxx and thought it was perfect for
the pens and stuff on my desk.
Love my birds!
I'm probably the last one to pick this up....
It's a bit more then I usually spend on a magazine,
but I couldn't help myself!
A girl deserves a treat now & then,
don't you think?
So I will spend some time here in my
favorite spot, perusing it
and hopefully getting some
good ideas to decorate my Home!
Hope you have a delightful day
in your corner of the world!
