before the ornaments |
I baked two types of cookies, some for J and some to give at our family gathering. Just before leaving for the gathering, I noticed a hole in the cardigan I planned to wear, so I grabbed needle and thread before heading out the door. In the hour it took to get there, I found several additional holes, but had it all squared away, before we arrived. This is a festive red sweater I thrifted years ago, and generally only wear this time of year. It's hard to tell if it's just falling apart, or if moths got to it, though I've not seen any sign of them otherwise.
Last week, I harvested a head of lettuce, rosemary, and greens for the pups and chickens. Laundry was dried on the line. We got the lights on, and decorated our tree. Like several others I've noticed this year, simplifying feels right, and I began gathering some holiday things I will be letting go of, keeping only the things that bring the most pleasure. Happy Winter Solstice, Merry Christmas, and Happy Hannukah!

Good to know about the rain checks, because our Food Lion is out of stock in some good sales too. I do price adjustments on things I buy online, but haven't done a rain check as of yet. I just had to sew a tiny hole in a sweater. The last time I wore it, the tag bothered me, so I cut it out and didn't realize I cut the material also. Pretty tree! andrea
Are price adjustments where you find it cheaper, and then they match the price? Good thing my sweater had a bulky weave, with lots of design going on!
Hi Laurie. Price adjustments at the same place where I bought the item. (Not price matching from store to store). They will do adjust the price if they put the item on sale, and you paid full price for it. Normally if you got it on sale, and if it went on sale further, they won't do it. And each business will have a different amount of days. So I always check back on items I bought. For instance, IKEA has a 90 day price adjustment policy. My Christmas trees went on sale 80 days after I bought one and less for a second one I bought, so I emailed them (each place has their own procedure, Costco, for instance, you just fill out an online form, if you bought it online, but if at the store, you do that in person). Theirs is 14 days. Sometimes you have to search on the site to get the policy. andrea
Thank you. That's good info to know.
My, aren't you handy, sewing your sweater on the way to your gathering? I continue to simplify as well, making life easier. The older I get, the less I need to be content. Sending you peace during the holiday season.
I'm finding that too. It feels like the season of decluttering.
