A Pick-Me-Up
I was a little down this week. I did many of the things I tell myself to do when this happens: I bought myself flowers, I went for a long walk with our dog, I spent time with my husband, I wrote in my journal, I made minestrone.
On one day, a friend and I met for lattes and pastries at a coffee shop in a local shopping center. After enjoying our sweet tidbits and conversation, we said our goodbyes and I ambled toward my car. I eyed the windows of stores on my trek and then wandered into one that looked particularly colorful and uplifting. As I walked around, I noticed a set of salt and pepper shakers that made me smile. I needed that.
They were in the shape of little Wellington rain boots in red with white polka dots. I could see them on our holiday dining table providing their spicy contents as well as daily cheer. I was smitten, and succumbed. A small form of retail therapy.
Those spunky shakers are already on our table working their magic. Why wait for the holidays? Why not smile everyday!
Those fetching red Wellington Boots salt n pepper shakers tickle my fancy, too. Exactly, why wait for Christmas? Cheer is a shake away.
Love your way with words, Christie!
Let’s hear it for retail therapy, especially when one finds something as cute as these little boots! I can see Gigetta wearing them!
Oh Lynn! That post is so refreshing. I just started looking at your blog and feel so fortunate to be reading your whimsical, lovely life experiences. Thank you for this gift.
Thanks so much!
