Now, I'm used to putting on about five pounds or so every winter. Spring through Fall I'm out in the garden most of the day, so I get enough exercise and/or don't think about eating. I had stepped on the scale a few weeks ago and had gained the five pounds, thought it not bad, and would be working it off soon. But that five pounds all went to my hips this year. Boy was I dismayed!So at Maxx I just got my nightgown, teen dd an Aeropostale t-shirt, and pre-teen dd a black & white shirt (she asked for something black or red) and a pastel shirt. My local Maxx is attached to Home Goods, with a big opening to go between the two. As I wheeled my cart through the arch, I stopped and picked up a bottle of Pecksniff's Lily & Cottonseed room spray and a big spray bottle of Asquith & Somerset Lavender Linen Spray.
At HG I picked up the garden stone decoration, an "L" pad of paper for dh's birthday this weekend, two pretty mugs for the girls for Easter, this cute bunny head decoration (needs ironing), the two cherries kitchen towels, and a case for pre-teen to store her "stuff" in (like a mini-suitcase: hinge, zippers, and handles on either side).
And, yes, a sure sign of Spring (besides Daylight Savings Time and two days of 60F weather) is flower bulbs! My Snowdrops have sprung!

oh, how well I know that feeling, I hate to go clothes shopping, I seem to lose one day and gain twice that back the next...aghhhh. Nice items your DD are getting. My bulbs are sprouting up every where spring is on the way. Yay

You found some lovely items. I especially like those pretty mugs. I am so envious of those bulbs!! More snow is headed our way tomorrow, but hopefully it will melt away as fast as it comes and then it shouldn't be too long before the bulbs will be bursting through the soil around here. (Have to stay positive!) Don't worry about the weight. You'll burn it right off weeding and pruning. :)
What a fun shopping trip...our tulips have popped up about 3 inches now in NE Indiana. Surely, it's spring and won't revert back into winter....I hope!
I do not like to shop for clothes for myself. I love those mugs-so pretty. laurie
When the 'dressing room' thing happens to me--
I don;t know if I'm sad or happy because it's less money I spent. Hmm. Looks like you ended up with some other nice pretties.
