I made a couple of completely frivolous purchases recently...because sometimes it's just fun to banish those responsible "no, I shouldn't" thoughts and give in to childish delight! :)
I bought this little butterfly rug in Truro on Friday. Valerie and I were wandering around Walmart (having seen all there was to see in Margolians), and I spied this bright little rug down one of the aisles. I rushed over and snatched it up, exclaiming "ahhhh, that is SO cute, I love it!! I want it!)
I also bought a cute plush toy called a "caterspeller", which a caterpillar with upper case alphabet down one side, and lower case down the other. Someone at work does the wholesale distribution things, and it only cost $7 (or thereabouts). It's about six feet long, and is so colourful and fun, I think it looks neat on the back of my sofa!

Looks like you are getting started on some nursery decorations for your grand-kids! Love the colors.

I love the gifts you gifted yourself! They are so colorful, they made me smile.
I love love the caterspeller! My son is getting married next month and I told him and my future DIL that I want a red headed grandchild in the very near future.
I wonder about the cat's reaction to the long plush toy. I can see them playing with the antennae... :)

Thanks Maria, I agree a red headed grandbaby would awesome! I too am hoping for one...in my not so immediate future. ;) So far the kitties haven't shown much interest, but I expect Polly will be pouncing soon enough!

Tongue bitten! I figured that the grandbaby mention might get that reaction! But a red-headed grand-child at some point down the road sounds like a wonderful plan, so save the caterspeller for him/her!

I love the caterspeller! The bright colours are a perfect pick-me-up on a gloomy winter day! (I've been wearing my wildly striped mittens these days, because they're warm but also because the colours always make me smile!)

Hey Alexa, thanks for stopping by! I hope your little one has lots of fun with her caterspeller. (My 13 yr old thinks mine is creepy...oh well, I didn't buy it for her!)
