Dollar Tree Buys

Another shopping trip to Dollar Tree turned up Quiet & Roar body lotion. I think they remaindered the old bottle design; the new costs $6.99 for 20.2 ounces. A 16 oz. bottle costs $1.25 at Dollar Tree, so you could buy five bottles of the slightly smaller size for what it costs to buy 1 bigger one at Target and have money left over.

When you have to drink a lot of water every day like me, after a while you try a lot of water enhancer mixes. I prefer the kind that don't contain aspartame, and this one is pretty good, taste-wise. A comparable product at my grocery store costs $3.99; I could buy three of these at Dollar Tree for the same price and have money left over.

In summer my hair gets very dry and wiry, so I use a little leave-in conditioner to help combat the frizz. This one not only smells nice but you don't have to use a lot of it. A comparable product in an 8.5 oz. size by Pantene at Target costs $6.29; you could totally buy 5 bottles of the no-name brand at Dollar Tree with, yes, four cents left over! Ha.

Love Means This

Invested in a couple of hand-dyed bundles from one of my favorite fabric artists. This one said "Make me into something for Valentine's Day." So I went for a quilted and embellished tote. I kept thinking about what love means to me as I worked on it. Here's the finished tote. Although I was tempted to embellish with beads and pins, I got sick and only felt well enough to do a little stitching every night. As I worked I thought about how often love seems disappointing to us, especially when it fails to live up to our expectations. But now that I've experienced love in many forms, I can say that it's made me a better person than I might have been without it. Love is a precious thing, and should be appreciated in all its forms. I am very grateful for the love of my guy, my child and my friends who have stuck with me all these years. That's you two, in case you're wondering. :) Also finally found something to do with a ve...

Other Stashes

Along with clearing out the spare bedroom and tidying my office and our guest bedroom, I decided to reorganize some of my stashes. This is all the yarn I have on hand, sorted by color. It looks like a lot, but lately I've been using up a minimum of half a bin every month, so this is approximately a year's supply. All of my solid color cotton perle thread. I go through a lot of this every year, too. I need a container in which I can fit all of it together, but I haven't found the right one yet. I won't show you all of my fabric -- I'm still reorganizing this stash -- but I went through everything and donated two bins of fabric I won't need to the local quilter's guild.

Store Closing Haul

The mega Books-A-Million store over in Sanford is closing, and offered an extra 20% off on their current stock -- all sales final -- so I went over to do some shopping. Safely but sadly there was no one in the store but me the entire time I was there. The Holly Jackson novel is for Katherine, the Halloween board book is for Oliver, and the copy of Garden Spells is to keep on hand because I give that book to everyone. The rest of the books are for me. I love Anne Cleeves, and the Galbraith novel sounded interesting (the first couple weren't, but I'm willing to take another chance.) The Escape Room is by a new-to-me author, plus it was cheap. The GreenCraft mag is just a guilty pleasure. Hopefully the smaller BAM nearer to me won't close. I don't buy many books from brick-and-mortar stores these days, but that's really the last one within reasonable driving distance.
