Victorias Secret 75% off finds and a few B&BW

June 29th 2013

A few of the finds from the last of the Victorias Secret SAS bins today at 75% off...and a few things from Bath and Body Works.

Stop in and check out your store to see what they may be offering.  These few things would make great stocking stuffers.






a "New Fall State of Mind"


June 29, 2013

Last night I wrote about the things shown on B&BW Sistas public Facebook fan page so I hope you went there to check them out.  There were some awesome goodies shared by fellow sista Michelle Denise Smith that she saw in her area and it was a few of those things I referenced fellow blogger Cia's photo about.  Cia was kind enough to repost her photo on a article today so you can see what I was mentioning.

Michelles--->

Todays finds!!! Scentportable holders owl is $5.50 and others are $5!

The owl and the round blinged out scent portables are there in Cias pics.

Todays finds!!! New pocket holders $5!Todays finds!!! New pocket holders  light ones the camera and the elephant $7.50!I didn't get him but thought I would share he is $12.50 tummy lights up hold pocketbac


My store said they have all of these holders in and there is a blue and a pink owl pocketbac holder but they didn't get this awesome owl in yet.

A big thank you to Michelle and Cia for sharing these.

When I went to my store today to see if I could find anything new....I did get to see the new Owl soap sleeve and fell in love with it immediately because it had pumpkins on it.  Of course it is not for sale yet.... my store is very scared to even think about selling anything.  I was told they got a call to see if anyone opened the new bounceback coupon box yet and showed anyone them.  It must be for the July 24th floorset....and the box remains sealed....  drats....

So the owl is priced at $7.50.

Then tonight I see fellow sista Lisaa Fong shared her photos of the owl and a few other things.  Isn't he adorable? 


Lisaas---->

I went back to the store and the same SA was working from when I first saw the owl hand soap sleeve. She let me buy them... Yippee! Here's a front and back picture.Here's the Acorn sleeve. I'm not sure what it's really for. You can put the full size pump antibac in it but the sleeve is much wider. The hand soap sleeve is interesting, art decoish, not sure if I'm going to keep it but I needed to spend $30 to use coupon.

The acorn holder is oval shaped and keeps us guessing as to what it is a holder for.  The usually have a purpose, these sleeve things....  round candles...soaps.... smaller candles...

My guess..... maybe this years limited edition soap...should there be one.....won't be round bottles like last years but maybe oval???

I wouldn't complain.

A big Thank you to Lisaa also for sharing her finds and putting us all back in that "New Fall State of Mind"

Nest for Wren(t).....Cheep......

June 29th , 2013


 
 
This morning I went out for the paper like I do every other day and picked it up off of the front porch carpet shaking my head at the fact there wasn't a  rubberband around it and it was blown open.  As I gathered up my pieces I glanced over at the front wall and noticed the moss I had beneath the faux silk geraniums was pulled out all over the floor and some of the flowers were missing.

Being in my sleep clothes I chose to wait to go investigate further when I was dressed. With hubby at work I really didn't want to take the chance I would lock myself out without a phone or a bra.  :)

So I did my morning routine and before long hubby was home and mentioned the mess on the porch and asked me what happened.  It didn't surprise me much that there were flowers missing.  Someone thinks my beautiful hydrangea flowers out front are theirs for the taking and last summer, every night they came into my gated yard....and took clumps of them....including the old wood.  Which ruined the plant.  Nitwits. 

And last November we were burglarized in broad daylight so people and their motivations....I haven't a clue.  We can't even invest in decent new front porch furniture because we know they will be taken.  Even with the cameras on the property we have had people come up onto the porch and take the things right off of the porch.

So I grabbed my bucket and Mr. Clean....a wash cloth and a broom and set out to clean the moss mess.  With hubby at my side we looked up at the wall basket that held silk flowers and noticed they too had been taken.  And as quick as we saw that, my husband said...check in there and see if there is a birds nest.



Much to my shock...and surprise...there was.

But how...when?  We were out last night and clearly there was no mess on the porch and all flowers were present and accounted for. 

Nature is amazing to me. I love being around it and finding these little things to remind me we as humans are not the smartest of all Gods Creatures.  And bird nests always make me smile.  How birds make these intricate little holders without hands....using only their beaks... amazing.

But this little nest is not in a good location.  And I personally would love to watch the full progression of this little family, but I know I don't want to be attacked every time we go in and out of our front door.

I looked for eggs and there were none.  So I pulled out the glider and lo and behold there were some of the ivy and silk flowers....pulled out to make room for his nest.  How did they get those out of the oasis?  ha ha

And a tough nest it was let me tell you.  He started with a nice thick mud base and worked the pieces up and into the flower stems and the ivy.  I had to take the entire thing apart to clean everything and remove the nest. Of course it saddened me to remove his/her hard work ....and I wouldn't have if there were eggs....  I saved the nest, putting it carefully in a wire hanging basket in the back yard as I wanted to get a better picture of it.  Who knows, another bird may come along and find use for it... for the night.  I could hang a sign on it.... Nest for Wren(t)  Cheep......


 

 

Scentportable sneak peek

June 28, 2013

Back in March Cia posted a sneak peek of a Scentportable survey she was a part of and I think most currently that photo is in her what's coming up link for 2013. 

After thinking about the photo I saw on the Sistas page of some of the new scentportables being offered...... and remembering that survey photo, it would seem so far the blue owl sideways in the photo is going to be offered as well as the round blinged out scentportable.

I am hoping some of the cupcakes make it too.  They are cute for hanging on the outside of a gift bag that has a scrumptious bakery scented candle inside for those of us who love sweets for birthdays that don't go on our hips.

Three new Pocketbac Holders coming

June 28, 2013

Look at this adorable little grouping of Pocketbac holders coming out soon.  Are they not calling to you to Buy me?  Okay, maybe that's just me but when your Pocketbac collection is over 400....and your holder is a quarter of that....what harm can three more make...Right?
