Today I bought some autumn Decor.. it's what I went out to buy and was disappointed that out of 4 different stores, no-one had anything worth having very much to decorate my home for autumn.
I ended up getting a couple of pumpkin shaped candles.. a garland for the mantelpiece.. some tiny bronze coloured pumpkin ornaments to sit on the silver salver .. an Autumn Wreath , and a few flowers to add to my jug of spring flowers in the livingroom..but really not what I would have chosen if there had been more variety

I am a collector of cookbooks and over the past few years I have become interested in older cookbooks. I still buy the occasional new cookbook, but most of my purchases now are secondhand vintage books. My latest find is the National Trust Book of Christmas and Festive Day Recipes (1983). I love buying books online, and getting books in the mail is one of my all-time favourite things, but waiting for them to arrive is agony. I am so impatient. LOL

Oh I wish I'd known, I had an original Mrs Beeton Cook book from the 1920's... I just donated it to the Charity Book shop... I would have sent it to you if I'd known..
I bought them bulk this time. I got 810 of them...lol

It was lovely of you to think of me. Thank you! The book will find a good home, I am sure.

@hollydolly Yanno? I was going to do that until I started thinking about the cost of a new fridge. I don't need one yet (knock wood), but...
Not to mention the list of stuff that can go altogether wrong and need immediate cash. Fooey.
I had a goal of having a consistent $500 balance in my checking account like in the old days. Having reached that, it doesn't seem like much so the new goal is $1000. Always told the kids to only spend half of what they had on hand. Now I gotta take my own advice

They sell those in bulk at WINCO Foods. They are sometimes out because they are popular. Really good.

I ordered two shampoo bars and two regular bars of soap from Etsy. I've ordered from this shop before and found I really liked the shampoo bars. Palm free.
I ordered 4 skeins of DK weight yarn and some small knitting needles from WEBS online. This is after hitting the local yarn shop this week also.

I'm not much of a knitter and I stick to small things and scarves. I like to knit novelty items (I've actually knit cake and donuts) I have this book and want to knit some of the animals in it.
Mini Knitted Woodland: Cute & easy knitting patterns for animals, birds and other forest life: Ishii, Sachiyo: 0693508009882: Amazon.com: Books
I used to think I was a total looser for knitting this stuff until someone posted a literal large serving tray full of knit food items she had made on Ravelry.
I wish I had the confidence to make something bigger but I don't. I'd like to knit a hat someday. Do you knit @hollydolly

I don't knit now.. but I used to many years ago. Tbh I got very bored with it in the end.. I was never a great knitter, learned at primary school when I was about 7 or 8... and my mother knitted too.. I would knit scarves and hats, tea-cosies.. and eventually cardigans for my daughter when she was at school

Wonderful pictures.It literally means stores who are on the High street ( High street meaning the Main street in town and streets off that )...which is how we used to do all of our shopping... nowadays it also means any store that is bricks and mortar whether it's in a Mall , a High street or a Retail park ( Big Box stores)...

So true. I use three per: a double for picking up and another to pick up the pick up bags.

I like cookbooks too; one of the few types of books I still buy in 3D. When I moved from veganism I gave away my vegan cookbooks and I sorely regret it now.
Collecting vintage cookbooks is a great idea.

@Pinky I always worry about putting the item together after I knit it. This book has detailed instructions however and are knit flat which is good for me. I can knit better than crochet and that's not saying much. I tend to have some trouble with my tension and crochet, especially with small items. That was good of you to donate.
I did knit the mushroom so far. And I'm OK with it.
