In my episode today featuring some my best finds to date!
Is saving money one of your priorities?
Then thrifting might be for you!
Are you someone who loves a great bargain?
Maybe just maybe second hand stores like Salvation Army etc might be the answer! Or garage or estate sales can be another option. There are many venues available today. It really can be a fun challenge to discover that special find!
You know that old saying “Don’t knock it till you try it”
I hope you enjoyed the episode “Thrift Treasure Tuesday”. and all the fun finds
Looking forward to seeing and sharing more tomorrow!
Of course comments and questions are always appreciated!

It’s a new week friends.
Did I tell you that I love Mondays. Hence the title but did you every notice how sometimes you just need some motivation to begin the week… me too hence the title. And I work in retail and it’s Christmas. Need I say more.
But trust me there is a happy ending.
In my stories on Instagram I share about my adventurous weekend of thrifting like the pretty 12 days of Christmas plates I will be talking more about everything I found this week on my posts. Stay tuned…
Monday has been a good day of designing in the dining room actually a marvelous one.
I hope your day has been a great one too. I would welcome your comments and any questions as well.
Thank you for stopping by.

Edit this week goals not met moving forward!
Would you believe food po____ing invaded my space and it wasn’t even turkey 🦃 I know that because it was only the Tuesday before. We narrowed it down to lettuce in a bag from Targets no offense Targets I still love you just no more lettuce. And moving forward a very HappyThanksgiving 🦃 to all. We enjoyed a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving with family.
I wish you many good wishes this Thanksgiving 🦃 weekend to you your family and friends.
May this Holiday Season bring us all Peace and Joy🎄

Early Christmas Throwback this week!
Yes friends Christmas is coming before we know it we will be opening presents. Lets get inspired from past pics. These really are my favorites with presents all wrapped and nestled under the tree. You’ll see lots of red my theme color I always use at the holiday season. What is your theme color you like to use during the holiday seasons?
Christmas red adds lots of charm and coziness to the decor.
When you decorate make sure you pick a theme like reindeers or snowmen ⛄️ or even snowflakes ❄️ it make it so much easier and than add colors like red and green. Actually the easiest way to start is to use what you already have. Than you can start decorating and know what you need to add to your decor list.
Also be inspired by magazine and books and don’t forget Instagram and Pinterest as well
I hope you have been inspired and will come back soon
Thanks you for your visit. Please leave your comments or questions below.

Last week was tough I worked lots of days prepared for the holidays but this story has a happy ending I promise wait for it!!!
Yes honestly we did have Friends Thanksgiving not quite with “Friends” LoL but how much fun seeing each other at a very cool restaurant a delicious bread and butter boards as an appetizer cocktails and an awesome array of selections from a choice menu. We toasted “cheers” to all laughed and savored those moments with each and the upcoming holidays. Of course exchanged recipes and family and friend plans for Thanksgiving. There was a snow storm that night but we all went anyways to celebrate each other and of course to give thanks for one another and all of our many blessings. Yes friends it was a very special night of sharing.
The world “Friendsgiving” was officially added to the Merriam-Webster dictionaryin January 2020 after being on its “Words We’re Watching” list. It’s obviously a compound of the words “friends” and “Thanksgiving” and refers to an informal iteration of the holiday that has become super common. It’s basically the day you have Thanksgiving but with your friends. Sometimes it’s in lieu of Thanksgiving or in addition to.
According to Merriam-Webster, the earliest use of the term Friendsgiving dates back to a 2007 tweet, but some people credit the hit show Friends for inspiring the concept of spending the holiday with friends. Another theory suggests that a 2011 ad campaign by Baileys Irish Cream liqueur used the word, giving the Friendsgiving movement more momentum. Since then, it’s become a word that refers to a Thanksgiving dinner celebrated with friends.
There’s no official date for Friendsgiving, like there is for Thanksgiving (which is celebrating on the fourth Thursday of November, by the way). Many people choose to host it before legit Turkey Day, if they spend Thanksgiving traveling home to be with family. Others will just co-opt the true Thanksgiving and call it Friendsgiving if they’re celebrating with a group of pals.
Have you had Friends Thanksgiving? Try it I guarantee you will be very thankful you did. There is still time before or after the holiday. Going out to eat puts you in the mood with all the festive decorations.
Comment below if you have celebrated Friends Thanksgiving or plan on having one soon. Share how it went would love ❤️ to hear all the fun details.
Happy Sunday Sharing!

This is honestly a very selfish post but maybe your with me on this one because it’s all about chocolate can I get an Amen. So I love ❤️ chocolate as much as coffee ☕️ I choose coffee no calories well unless I have a latte or fancies but chocolate 🍫 well that’s a different story all together like did you know chocolate is healing especially after a bad day and with holidays the list goes on and on with so many varieties I work @homegoods I see what you all are buying that Gourmet section is unbelievable tempting.
Betty Crocker Delights Supreme Chocolate Chuck Brownie Mix satisfies that chocolate craving this is delicious easy to make convenient and fast.
Brownies are one of my favorites but there’s more. I’ll share one of my mom’s favorites next week.
I like to make recipes that are easy quick and delicious too. I think this is one of them I hope you do too.
Send me a comment at the bottom if you tried them and how they turned out
Thanks for stopping by the blog.
Best regards Dana
In the episode “Feels like Home to Me Friday”
Making our home cozy for the holidays can bring back many memories. Memories of our own childhood with our family and friends as well. The feels of home can be very comforting and soothing. When we decorate this is the cozy we are looking to create and experience.
So as this holiday season begins may all of us take the time to remember those very special moments and relish the memories that will continue to dwell in our hearts.
As this holiday week continues I will be sharing more about how to prepare and enjoy the days ahead. I do hope you will come by for a visit.
Thank you
Best Regards Dana
