Christmas in July

While on our trip to the mountains,
Bonny and I were able to sneak away for a few hours,
without kids or strollers...
and SHOP!!!!

I have to admit,
while some people enjoy the scenery and mountain drives
when they visit the Smokey Mountains,
the highlight of my trip
is the view of the Outlet Mall!!!

And this is one of my favorite stores!

I could have spent a very large amount of money in there...

and come out with a lot of fun stuff...

but I refrained...

except for this.

I could not resist.

I looked around at all of the different peices

they had for sale,

even left the store and thought about it for a while,

but came back to let this little punch bowl follow me home.

It was on sale for $59.99.

It retailed for $139.00

And...I got to use a 10% mobile coupon from my

handy dandy little phone.

So now I am ready to have a little Christmas get together

and use all of my holiday china.

 

It will be so pretty with red punch in it.

I also have officially started my Christmas Shopping
as of today!!!
First gift has been ordered and will
be delivered in 7-10 business days.
AND it will be wrapped as soon as it comes in!

I'm telling you, I am going to be ahead of the game this year!
