I don't live anywhere near a Home Goods I am sad to say so I haven't been in one in ages. After leaving the Grands today I stopped in one on the long way home.
I have a friend in France who sends me the most wonderful things for Christmas every year so I always have to find him something equally wonderful. It's not easy.
I've got to get it mailed off early because it takes forever to get there. One year his Christmas package didn't show up until Easter.
I was tempted by this knit lovers cup but it would never get that far in one piece I'm afraid. I'm kicking myself now for not buying it for myself. What was I thinking?
I also had some doggies to buy for. I was amazed at how big Home Goods pet section is now. Strangely enough, I encountered not one but two separate ladies with little Malteses in pooch carrying bags in the store. Odd-or something that is happening now? I don't get out much.
I came home with a bag of surprises and a bag from Yankee Candle. Their new Balsam and Clove scent is heavenly. Come the first of December it is going to be my go to holiday fragrance. Maybe it was the cold snap or maybe it was being with the Grands, I don't know which but I am feeling more holly jolly than Grinchy this year. I hope it lasts.

It was the grands....the little ones always bring that out in a person. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI browsed around Home Goods the other day. Ours is reather messy and I'm afraid it got the best of me. I was overwhelmed and left with NOTHING! If I had seen that mug, I might have been sorely tempted too. LOL
ReplyDeleteFun! I love Home Goods. That knitter mug is adorable. And, balsam-clove sounds amazing. Time to go shopping!
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a Home Goods somewhat nearby, but it closed. I don't even have a clue where one might be now.
ReplyDeleteYour new candle sounds like it will be perfect - I may have to look for that one!
My grandchildren can always get me into holiday mood as well! Glad you took the time to stop into a favorite store and window shop. I did that last week and it really did lift my spirits!
ReplyDeleteThe new Yankee Candle scent sounds wonderful. I might have to order one online. Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteIt must be the Grands. Children always brighten the mood. I'm with Dee though. Our Home Goods and Tuesday Morning stores are REALLY messy and I never end up buying anything. I don't think I have ever bought at either store. Are they owned by the same company? Love, love, love that knitter mug. It almost makes me want to go shopping! :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Hmmm...we have a new store in our downtown; maybe I need to go there?
ReplyDeleteAw I m so glad you are enjoying the SPIRIT and Joy of the holidays that are coming! Home goods is a fun place! We put lights on a few evergreens outside yesterday and it is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of that store-it sure looks wonderful; I can't believe you didn't buy the knit mug!!! I decorate on Dec 1st, too, and a candle all spicy like that sounds wonderful!
