Yes to these purses. Yes to them being just an hour drive away from me, and YES to them being my style. Love love love. Look at all of the beautifully crafted, and vibrant colors of purses there are to choose from.I’m not usually one to flock to boring brown, black, white or tan purses. I ONLY own a bright colored purse. Right now I have a bright red, a yellow, and a salmon colored one and I have a blue wallet sized … coin purse? I’d buy all of them if I could afford them.

Though, gotta admit. I find their online shop to be a little bit on the annoying side to navigate. The scrolling purses won’t allow me to click on them and I click numerous amounts of times as it’s not loading to my liking, then I get an abundance of different purses flashing swiftly across the larger image and not enough time to look at them. Ahh!

Someone needs to CHANGE that.

I think the only donations I make throughout the year are right after Halloween when I see the boys and girls outside box stores, selling poppies. I know that’s pretty bad of me. But I cannot pass these kids, without buying at least one from them. Are you wearing your remembrance poppy today? I didn’t know anyone related to me who was in either of the World Wars, but I think I have a soft spot for the poppy as I used to work in the veteran’s old age home while I was working in Housekeeping at the local hospitals back home, and made some friends there :)

So I have the day off today. Usually we have a professional development day at work on November 11 as all banks and financial institutions are closed. But I’m home, and going to put on some winter tires and rims this afternoon with a reputable mechanic that I was recommended by my Boyfriend. Wish me luck! Hope the credit card doesn’t bounce :/

Remember when I panicking back in October about not getting started on my Christmas shopping? That day I ended up buying almost all of the Irish boys their gifts. Funny how the brain gets on that right away. I wanted to show you what I bought for the two little ones. It’s a really neat website  based out of California designed by two father’s, where you can personalize a few things for loved ones.

I bought these two books and personalized them from Auntie Nancy, and I got these Firetruck place mats for them as well. I think they’ll be excited even if they’re just two and three years old, right? Seeing your name on something is that exciting at that age am I right? I have no idea. I haven’t been around kids in a few years :(  Frecklebox (cute name) is pretty reasonably priced too. Especially having it shipped up from the states. I’m sure they’ll like it. Boys like trucks and books before bed. Happy day for all.

Speaking of happy days for all. I’m a bit disappointed that I wasn’t able to pick up my favorite HONEY CRISP apples at the grocery store the other night. I wasn’t about to pay $2.49/lb for apples that looked poked and bruised, so I opted to go to Sobeys instead of my regular loblaw’s grocery store just a few minutes walk from our apartment. Sobey’s had the honey crisp’s on for $1.99/lb which sounded much more reasonable. Except for the fact that all of the other apples were on a huge discount sale for $0.45/lb!! I decided to stray away from the juicy crunchy favorite of ours and picked up a dozen royal gala’s instead. Why are the favorite things in life so much more expensive than the other ones. It was 4x as expensive as all the others! Bummer. :(

Hope you all have a good Tuesday!
