Woohoo, Happy Friday! I voted this week, if you haven't remember to VOTE on Tuesday! Now, Let the Holiday season commence. Joanna Gaines said, so it’s truth. Do what you love, do what you enjoy and the naysayers…bah hum bah! We had some sweet trick-or-treaters on Wednesday night and I am happy to report, they cleaned us out of full-size candy bars. Dreary weather has me yawning a lot. Today our Miss Daisy has the Mobile Grommer coming to us...so excited as as she is not a fan of car riding. The is the last low key weekend before they all start to get Holiday busy so I'm gonna cozy up for some of it. Let's get to Favorites my Fine Friends!
1. Trader Joe's and Christmas Explosion
"At Home"
So Remember when I has my first TJ’s visit and write the post A NEWBIE'S GUIDE to TRADER JOE'S?. Well, this was only my 3rd visit seeing as we live 1 hour and 10 minutes away. I was excited to grab some pumpkin stuff but
in addition to the favorites like guilt free quac, yogurt, sweet potato fries, marinara, bruschetta, orange chicken, etc., I grabbed some other goodies. BUT the best FUN of the day was had amongst the Christmas trees. After leaving TJ's, we spotted a Big store Called "At Home" and thought yeah cool home stuff. Well, that was an understatement! Andrea went a little slappy Happy!! Not only was this store 10 times bigger than any Home Goods, half of it was filled with nothing but Christmas! Christmas galore and they were playing Christmas tunes!! These 2 white feather trees came home with me for the Christmas Bedroom I told you about Wednesday.
Unfortunately we couldn't she as long as I'd like to for fear of this...melting in the car.
Here are some more new to me items that others have raved about:
I know many of you not only love mugs of warm goodness but you also Holler I LOVE YOU HALLMARK where it’s the most wonderful time of the year! Grab this mug for cozy watching and sipping!

MAY your weekend be full of your favorite beverage and maybe a little old-fashioned goodness too!
There is an At Home store about 20 minutes from my house but I have not made it down there. I think I need to carve out some time and head down there one day. That pumpkin ice cream from Trader Joe's is the Best.
ReplyDeleteOk, I posted my Hallmark shirt on Friday Favorite! Love your mug.
Have a Good weekend pretty lady!

Those mommy and me hats are adorable! I love At Home!!!! We have one in the town we do all of our grocery shopping and business in, the one we are trying to move to. I wont lie to you, I often find myself just wondering around in there with no direct purpose. Their Christmas stuff is so pretty!!! Love those trees you grabbed. Hope you enjoy your weekend and get to relax!!
ReplyDeleteLove those trees! Sounds like a great store; I'm going to have to see if we have any near us.
ReplyDeleteWE have an At Home store close by - I don't go often because it's dangerous, ha, I find way too much there! It is a favorite place to grab seasonal decor. You are reminding me I need to hit up TJ's again, so much goodness!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend sweet friend!
xo,
Kellyann
I wish I had a TJ's closer and now I want an At Home too. Sounds like a great trip with lots of fun finds. I am planning to go full holiday early this year too. The next two weekends are crammed, but after that I am going for it! Have a wonderful weekend, sweet lady! xxoxox
ReplyDeleteOmg if there was an At Home by me, husband would be there everyday! That is amazing that it is Christmas decor galore! And that Christmas mug is too cute! I hope you have a wonderful weekend Andrea!

I love At Home too but it is almost too big and overwhelming! Glad you got to check it out! Hopefully you'll get a TJ closer to you someday!!
ReplyDeleteI wish there was an At Home by me! The TJ french onion soup is really good! Love your cute Christmas mug! Enjoy your weekend!

I love that Hallmark movie watching mug! Bring on the Christmas movies. Have a wonderful weekend.

I've had people have me knit mommy & me hats - & its so fun to see them wear them when I'm done.
ReplyDeleteI just saved the TBB Asks - always love that link up.
Yay for cardigan twinning this week! :) And oh my, I will be adding that ice cream to my cart on my next Trader Joe's visit!! Yum!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGina || On the Daily Express
Would you believe At Home is about 20 minutes from me and I've never been! I keep thinking it's time to change that!
ReplyDeleteThat coffee and hot chocolate sign is so cute. :)
Boom Shakalaka!
Happy November, beautiful friend! I'm in love with those flocked feathered trees! Ryan's so anti-flocked tree, but we're only 4.98 years of marriage in haha give it another 5, and he'll totally let me do my thing! I LOVE that mug, by the way! Give me allllll the Hallmark movies, please! Happy Friday, Andrea! I hope you have the best weekend <3
ReplyDeleteAs always you look adorable in all your weekly looks! And I need that mug in my life- bring on all the hallmark christmas movies! :) Happy Friday, friend!
ReplyDeleteOk, I do not normally like stripes, but I love that cardigan. Maybe because there's more white space than stripes. Love those hats too!
ReplyDeleteI love that classic outfit - cannot go wrong with it! And I was just thinking of going to At Home for some Christmas decorations. My mom and I went there for the first time after I moved, and to say we were a bit overwhelmed would be an understatement. That place is HUGE. And there is just stuff everywhere, haha.
ReplyDeleteTrader Joe's is awesome! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI was telling my husband that I wanted a white tree for the holidays this year. I was going to try to get one at the end of last holiday season but it never happened. I have a feeling it still won't...but I'm holding out hope!!
ReplyDeleteXOXO

Oh my, I LOVE those momma and me tuques - need to get them!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun stuff. I love your new feather trees. Isn't that store the BEST! There's one in Nashville and Richmond. I think they used to be Garden Ridge stores and switched over. I wish we had one out here. Can't wait to hear how the pumpkin ice cream is. I've about decided I can only do PS in small increments like Pumpkin Bread and maybe some cheesecake. YUM. Have the best. last low key weekend. Hope sweet Daisy enjoys her "spa" day. XOXO
ReplyDeleteThat mug is super cute! I always forget about TJs. I don't live *that* far away from one but there isn't one close enough that I see it all the time to think about it. I always think about going & say I'm going to when I see all the goodies in blogland but then forget once it's actually time to shop.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, don't know where to start with this fun post, Andrea. The home goods store sounds A-MAzing! I'm looking forward to seeing your Xmas bedroom, home decor is one of my "sweet spots". I think I have a daughter (or two) who may be getting that Hallmark mug!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had either of those stores around here! They seem amazing. You really found some good stuff. I am excited you picked up a couple trees for your home. Can't wait to see them in there!!
ReplyDeleteThat mug is so cute. I sooo need to buy those French Onion Soups since I love that soup, but have never tried TJ's. I wanted that ice cream last week, but totally forgot to grab it.
ReplyDeleteThey opened an At Home by us and this thing looks massive. Eric and I keep joking that we need to take a day off just to go there because it would probably take that long to shop through. Loving those mommy and me hats. I hope you have a great weekend! Sierra Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteWe have an At Home store here and I LOVE IT. I swear you could spend 8 hours in there trying to get around to see everything! Happy weekend, girl!
ReplyDeleteI adore that Mug! Yes for Hallmark Movies!
ReplyDeleteLisa
We all got mommy and me matching hats last year and I want to get another set this year! I love matching with my minis! I have a similar striped cardigan and you just gave me so much inspo! I'm loving it all!
ReplyDeleteMy kids love those mozzarella sticks. I think they're better than most brands. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh, I need to find that mug for my daughter. She loves all the Hallmark Cmas movies and she collects coffee mugs, so it would be a WIN all the way around. Cozy up and enjoy your low key weekend my dear!
ReplyDeleteI saw another blogger at the At Home store on her IG Stories and holy moly, it really was decked out for Christmas. I have only been in there once and it was a couple of years ago! I always forget about that store, but there is one about 20 minutes from me... I need to go! You've also got me wanting to go to Kirkland's! Haha! I used to go into TJ's every other week and I stopped going there when I quit my corporate job. I used to pick up a lot of items for my lunches there. I really need to go again soon. It's 30 minutes from me. I sure wish they'd put a store closer. All of your finds look delicious!

That cardigan is so cute! It will go together with anything if you need a little extra warmth. I have never been to TJ's. We have one 2.5 hours away and I just have never went. Small town problems. I love that you hand out full size candy bars. I bet the kids flip out!
ReplyDeleteI've been having a blast watching all of the Christmas movies on the Hallmark channels! Also, I had no clue that some people felt so strongly about decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving until myself and some other bloggers shared pictures of our trees being up already. Talk about rude/snide comments. I'm not letting the naysayers ruin my holiday spirit though.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we have Kirkland's? What a cute sign! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteTJ's for the win!!! That At Home store sounds amazing. We don't have any of them but I heard Home Sense is like that(just got one but haven't been there yet). HOw's the pumpkin icecream? Hope you're having a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe have an At Home store close to us but I never think to go there! I am obsessed with the coffee mug and told Dustin I need it! He asked where to buy it, and I said, "Check Andrea's blog! " LOL!
ReplyDeleteSarah at MeetTheShaneyfelts
I can't wait to check our your Gnocchi recipe! I love the coffee mug and can think of several people who need it! I love the pom hats!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of that gnocchi. Love your outfits, especially the plaid aubergine (is that REALLY me saying I like plaid? But I DOOOO!! And I love that you've exploded in to Christmas already, it must be a fun time in Chateau Neuf !!! Hugs my pretty bonbon, x.
ReplyDeleteThe Hallmark movie mug is too cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh those mommie and me hats are so pretty ! I have a few winter photo shoots and a mama asked about matching hats and these would look super chic on them both. I don’t get into Trader Joe’s often but you and so many other bloggers go and find the best stuff. I am itching to put up our Christmas Tree. I’m trying to wait until after Thanksgiving....... ughh the wait is so difficult.
