I had no intention of hitting any of the post-Christmas clearance sales this year. I didn't even make any purchases at any department or grocery store that I had to go to in the daily course of life. Today I opted to go to a Christian bookstore in order to attain a birthday card for Bishop and rather fortuitously they had just marked down their Christmas items by 90%. I was able to pick up a slew of gifts for a blessedly low price. I cannot post pictures of all my purchases as that might spoil some Christmas surprises; however, I can share a few little treats. I finally found a Christmas pillow that will match my living room decor and for only $2. The labels on the bowls stated that they were candy dishes but I see them as a special way to serve hot cereal or a little treat to the boys during the Christmas season. Altogether, the plates and bowls only cost $6.50.
After getting the birthday card and Christmas goodies at the Christian bookstore I headed over to Borders to buy a Lego minifigure to put on Bishop's cake and I ended up making a couple of Christmas purchases there as well. The cup will go in a care package to Keegan so that she can easily take her hot tea or coffee to school, the chocolates will be stashed away and pulled out as a treat on who-knows-what occasion, and the maple candle is a little indulgence for me.
Enjoying some of the purchases on Epiphany...
... and while watching Fantastic Mr. Fox with the boys!
