Shoppin' Sherry....

Yesterday I went shopping with my mom and dad, at a home store near us. I ended up getting 4 Christmas candles and 2 Christmas kitchen towels. The stores look so pretty with all the decorations....I just couldn't help myself! Although, I have to say it is weird shopping for Santa's and snowmen when it's 85 outside. Anyway, after we went there, we went to Linens&Things. I wasn't looking to buy anything, just browsing. Well, you know what happens when you "just browse". You end up "just buying".

I don't know why, but mom suggested we walk down the kids bedding aisle, and we came upon the perfect bedding for wee one's room. She is still using her purple Power Puff Girl's comforter, which doesn't really go with the yellow and green! I found a yellow "bugs and butterflies" comforter, as well as pillow shams and a valance for her window. They are absolutely perfect, with the same yellow and neon green as her room. Now, here's the part that makes me happy....the comforter was $59.99, the pillow sham $20.00 and the valance $20.00. What did Sherry get them for? Oh, I am so glad you asked. The total for all of them was....drumroll please....$26.81! Woo-freakin-Hoo, Homer Simpson style! Can't beat a 75% off sale. I didn't even realize it, until my mom pointed it out to me. "Um, Sherry, isn't that on sale?"
"Huh? Where do you see that?"
"Well, the big sign hanging above it kind of gave it away."
"Oh, yes, I suppose it did."

Mind you, I still have a cold and was drugged up on cold medication....okay, okay. I probably wouldn't have noticed it anyway and my mother once again saved the day, as I was going to walk past it. Sheesh!

In any case, it looks fabulous, and wee one was thrilled. I did find the cutest set for Betsy, but she wasn't as excited as I was. It was a surf motif, with the old hula ladies on it and palm trees....now, I'm not into the surf motif, however, the bedskirt was actually a grass skirt, which is what sold it for me. It was adorable! It was also $90....so I suppose I would have to wait for another sale. Betsy reminded me that it wouldn't go with her celestial theme. Well DUH, I knew that. It was just so dang cute! (Oh, and yes, my MOTHER pointed that one out to me too. Now that she has a decent computer, and reads my journal, I can't get away with taking the credit for *some* of my great deals!)

Let's see....what is on the docket for today. Ummmm....sewing? Yes. Studying? Yes. Wash? Yes. Oh, and I have two prescriptions to pick up as well. Dang. I was hoping not to have to go out today. *Sigh.

Okay, it's time to get wee one ready for the bus stop. Have a lovely Thursday!
