Hey y'all...TGIF! I had a good week, despite the dreary weather. I didn't even go on one single walk this week. The rain was constant and our temperatures hovered in the 30's. I'm really grateful that Houston didn't have all the ice, snow, and power outages that other parts of Texas dealt with. I had a nice lunch with friends today, and am looking forward to some patio time as our temperatures return to normal this weekend. Here's a look at some favorites from the week.
ONE
I finished this little cross-stitch that Jack gave me for Christmas. It is only a few inches across. Don't look too closely since I'm sure there are quite a few mistakes. It will look really cute on a table in the study.
TWO
It's that time of year...time to switch to fresh, spring scents. I picked up these wax melts from Walmart. They are all winners and I'm enjoying the change from heavier holiday scents. You can check out all the Walmart Better Homes wax melts here.
THREE
Here's my latest read. The Lost Ticket was a light, feel-good British rom-com - just fine to pass the time. You can check out the books I read in January here.
On a side note, I kind of forgot about the free Kindle book you can download each month if you are a Prime member. Some months it is even two books. I'm going to start getting these in an attempt to read more on my Kindle. Be sure to check out Amazon First Reads if you are a Prime member to get a free Kindle book each month.
FOUR
This week we wrapped up Season 5 of the Crown...it was OOOO...KKKK. I felt like everything about the show went downhill with each passing season (the cast, the script, etc.) And yet, I couldn't resist finishing it out!
When we finished that, we started watching 1923. So far, we love it. If you liked 1883, you will probably like this one too. The only downside is that we have to listen to the drawling female narrator again in this series. (1923 is on Paramount Plus, or you can get a channel through Amazon Video.)
FIVE
I have my Echo Show set to a photo slideshow, and look what popped up. This was my 30th birthday. Wes and Suzette came to Houston and surprised me with a birthday party with my friends. This was the house I had when I was a single teacher...look at that dining room light fixture! Fun memories!
SIX
I love my James Avery charm bracelet, although I don't wear it as often as I used too. Look at the front of the new James Avery catalog. I think it's so fun that they have a Dr. Pepper charm, as well as a Whataburger Fancy Ketchup charm. What will they think of next...maybe Buccee's!
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
ON THE BLOG THIS WEEK
Come back on Monday for Prime Purchases.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Ok - I have been needing to ask this. Who are Wes and Suzette? Are they aunt and uncle? I know they are very close to you, but I missed the deets! Ha ha! I think I would like that rom com! Even better when they are British! What a nasty weather week for us, too!
ReplyDeleteThey are my aunt and uncle who live in Dallas. We have a very small family, and she is my mother's sister. We are very close! Have a good weekend.
DeleteLook how cute you are on your 30th! And you’ve barely aged girlfriend! We love 1923 but I do not understand why she is narrating again I mean she is dead, lol! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I thought about the narrator. Thanks for the aging compliment...you're too sweet!
DeleteOkay... the Mister has been bugging me to watch 1923. Now that you liked it I'll watch it. You are a true influencer, dear Tanya. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteDo you have to watch the shows Yellowstone, 1883, and 1923 in order? Cute cross stitch, good job!
ReplyDeleteTanya, I love that photo of you when you were 30 years old and the cross-stitch is nice too.
ReplyDeleteThe Meyer Lemon and Basil is my favorite of the wax melts.
ReplyDeleteLove the cross stitch. Is it an oriole?
I've tried the Lemon/basil and love it too. I think the cross stitch is supposed to be a robin.
DeleteI've only watched episode 1 of 1923... mostly because I didn't get why we still had the narrator's voice. That bracelet is so cute and I love the cupcake charm.
ReplyDeleteYou charm bracelet spotlight made me nostalgic. I have two and need to dust them off and wear them. One is from my childhood and the other was from my first year of teaching.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of you at your 30th!!
ReplyDeleteWe have watched 1923 and I wondered the same thing about the narrarator! The comment about the Buc-ees charm made me laugh :).
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute bracelet!!
