love...Love...L O V E

But the greatest of these is LOVE.

If there was ever a doubt in my mind about being a bargain hunter, the doubt is no longer there.

Now that it's Valentine's Day, it's just an excuse to bring out those finds,  
my
 pink candles.

 I must pat myself on the back for buying these earlier. 

 I'm so proud of 
ME
for decorating with thrifty decor.

So glad Valentine's comes in the middle of WINTER. 
 There're the roses, bouquet of flowers and the softer touches of color that scream spring.

Did you know we enjoy family time at holidays, except for Valentine's?

It's the day designed for 
couples.

Happy Valentine's  Day.

I collect candles, candlesticks, serving trays,
tablecloths, runners, napkins and white dishes.

I'm retired!
 I have time to grab a cup of coffee
 and
 rush out of the house to the next sale.
  I'm just like that working person rushing out to beat the
morning traffic.

 I'm my own personal  shopper.

I'm impress with the person

who knows what they love.

Whether it's that candle that

sets the tone or the candle that  lights the mood.

Or a trunk serving double duty at the table.

Enjoy the day and receive the love.

Summer decor ... Never the same

Oh happy week!

A fresh look for a

 new week 

and

 a new Season!

"It's never the same around here."

 I hear this so often from family. 

 That's one of the best compliments ever.

It tells me others are loving my passion.

Black/white is popping up everywhere.

 Now

 it's in my bathroom

and

I am loving the color mix.

My bathroom needed a summer look.

It's one of the least expensive spaces to add new accesories.

a refreshing look!

When it comes to sharing my bathroom on social media,

 I have a little reservation.

  Don't laugh.

I borrowed this stool,

 but

 it may be a temporary stay.

It's a popular seat around here.  It a perfect seat for a family member to share their day with me.

Here's a close up!

Do you see what I see?  Look at the design.
That's why I couldn't resist.

It's totally different from the one I'm replacing.

  It was also gorgeous with a lot of flowers

I'm loving the simplicity.

Beautiful  color combo. 

 The towels and shower curtain

are from Ollies. 

 Ollies is sort of new to the area and I forget it's here.

So excited I stopped by.  I got lost in choices and
stayed longer than expected.

I had to search hard to find the

perfect mat. Matter of fact, I made three stops and the third store had it.
I had a blush/pink mat at the register, but I knew a black/white mat would be a better
contrast.

Have you ever had others to give you unwanted advice while shopping?

Um, I do like the look.

Enjoy the moment.

Until  the next time,

Susan
