I don't have any patriotic decorations so I bought tea light holders and an Uncle Sam. I am always on the hunt for Christmas and today I found 2 red glass hurricanes, a Santa bobble head and a Jim Shore snowman ornament. I also bought a set of cool cordial/shot glasses, a clear cylinder hurricane, and a necklace that I thought my daughter might like. Not pictured are over 10 yards of fabric that I got for $8 (it's in the wash), and two outdoor candle holders that are, well, outdoors. Both have to be painted so they will show up on here at some later date.
Now, I said I am always on the hunt for Christmas, and that's true. I love to find a great bargain or something really old or unusual. I do NOT however, have any desire to even THINK about Christmas decorating in June. JUNE! I was at Hobby Lobby today and, yep, they are setting up Christmas.
I just finished planting all of my flowers and I have not yet harvested a tomato. I think Christmas decorations in June is ridiculous.
Tomorrow Alan and I are going to wander around the new McKay's bookstore. I suppose I should get up early and work on my chairs, but seriously, I'm not even going to pretend like that is going to happen. Besides it's Father's Day. It's a holiday. I don't work on holidays.
Have a good one!
Great scores!! And I know what you are talking about when you say 'Jim Shore' ornament now!! I agree with the Christmas decorations - they aren't having some sort of 'Christmas in July' celebration are they? - we sometimes have it here but very unofficial and more just an excuse for a party and not really made a fuss of by shops. Hope you enjoyed the bookstore :-)
