TRIED & TRUE ◽ TIPS
Last Month's Learning
by Marcy Lytle
Another month, more things observed and learned, all of which makes life so fun. If we’re not learning, we’re not growing! These are things I noted and loved last month. Hope you try some of them!
We recently made Danish bonfire bread over an open fire – it was easy – the most fun – and tasty! We dipped in butter and jam!
We got the coolest paint by number sets from Craftoria – a great idea and a great price – so fun and easy – and pretty!
Erin McDermott jewelry – she runs sales all the time – this is my latest piece – check it out!
I saw where it’s a thing to frame a piece of old paper and that’s it – and it’s cute – who knew?
I used to have a coat stand decades ago, and then they were no more. Well, they’re back. And I got one again and love it – as décor – not just a coat stand.
Whole Foods has these decadent super thick ice cream sandwiches in all sorts of flavors and they’re delicious – one is enough for two people!
Is there a PopShelf store in your area? I find the cutest home décor pieces there every time I go!
We finally found a cap rack that works on the back of the door, and it looks nice!
We saw these on vacation. He wanted one. So now it’s hanging in our tree, just outside our kitchen window – a balloon spinner.
J Crew Factory and Madewell have the prettiest necklaces, in case you need one for yourself or a friend. Elegant pieces at affordable prices.
Need a new picnic basket for this spring season coming up. This old-fashioned one comes with a blanket, and the basket is insulated!
I found the prettiest faux berries at the store At Home, for filling in outside pots – so nice!
The Dollar Spot at Target often has the cutest throws for $5 – I found a nice one for Valentine’s!
“If you can overthink the worst why can’t you overthink the best?” I read that and love it.
My local grocery store had the cutest Valentine’s day welcome mat. I love finding treasures in unlikely places!
And CVS has the cutest zigzag headbands – I just happened to see – and had to have!
Want a hilarious old movie to watch? Merrily We Live. So funny.
Target has cute little faux flower bundles for $6 on an end cap, and cute vases for $5 in the dollar spot – how pretty the two look together!
Have you seen the movie David? It’s not just for kids. It has a great message and music (although I thought the boy David looked like Amy Grant - ha!)
My word for the New Year is RELOAD – Read, Exercise, Listen, Obey, Affirm and Delight. Did you choose a word? I’d love to hear!
