'Tis the season for shopping.  What else are you buying besides beauty?  Post here!

[WhereYouStand]

[Titian06]

@WhereYouStand - I'm glad you picked up some things you've been wanting. 🙂  Enjoy!

[greeneyedgirl107]

I'm also very obsessed with fairy lights. I got these from Michaels

[curlychiquita]

These are cute, @greeneyedgirl107!

@greeneyedgirl107 ,

I love these!  Is anything better than Fairy Lights? 

I have never seen anything like these Santa Kitty lights!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@tsavorite Fairy lights will now be a year round thing for me!

[tsavorite]

@greeneyedgirl107 ,

I totally agree with you!  They should be year-round!

I need to get some of the tiniest of the fairy lights, that's my next goal.

[WhereYouStand]

@greeneyedgirl107 the really tiniest of fairy lights are so pretty!!! i hope you end up buying some. i've been meaning to buy some at some point myself so i can try to put them in a couple of really pretty wine bottles. I like to collect pretty wine bottles and use them as vases for flowers but i've been think fairy lights would be great for them too. the only stumbling block will be getting the battery pack part into the bottle. 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@WhereYouStand what a creative idea!

[Titian06]

OMGosh, @greeneyedgirl107 , you know I love the cat lights! 🐱   They're all great!  Maybe I'll stop by Michael's even though I've officially started my no/low buy.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Titian06 I really enjoyed them. My local Michaels was so low on leftover Christmas stuff that it was shocking.  Maybe try online.  They are top heavy, tho. I tapped them around the edge of table at work.

Poinsettias from Target that I'm obsessed with:

Wreath

Garland

Ornament that I used as table scatter 

Bow garland 

Also this bubble light plug in from Amazon

@greeneyedgirl107 ,

 I am a big fan of Bubble Lights!  We had them when I was a child and I have bought them since then, too. 

I am definitely considering the plug-in bubble lights on Amazon that you show!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@tsavorite I highly recommend it!  It bubbles a lot!

[tsavorite]

@greeneyedgirl107 ,  

That's encouraging!  They are the most cheerful lights!

[Titian06]

@greeneyedgirl107 - The poinsettias are pretty!  I have a friend who had those bubble lights as string lights for her family's Christmas tree maybe 40 years ago.  I'm going to look on Amazon for the ones you got!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Titian06 she's fortunate that her bubble lights lasted for so long!  My dad and I would put them on our tree, but always had issues with them until we gave up because they were so old...and then the stores stopped selling them.  I'm so happy I found that night light.  Lmk if you have trouble finding it on Amazon.   I even got one for my sister.   The back turns so you can orient it as needed for your outlet.

I bought this smoky quartz pendant from a jewelry store called Bora. I saw some of their stuff at a gem show in Tucson and have followed them since. This is my second piece and I love it. If I hadn't spent so much this month already I would buy more.

I've also been really into cooking so I picked up a set of green Dutch ovens from Costco.

@makeitup305 , 

Good finds!  Dutch ovens are so useful for cooking roasts, stews, or soups!

 Your smoky quartz pendent is lovely!

[Titian06]

@makeitup305 - I bought a Le Cruset at an outlet store years ago.  It gets lots of love!
