Happy Thanksgiving Day!!
Happy Thanksgiving Day to Everyone!!
I worked last night ( Wednesday) because hospitals do not shut down for Holidays.....
I made my Sausage Stuffing yesterday,will be throwing in the Turkey soon and Joe will watch and baste it while I get a bit of sleep and then the kids are coming over for 4:00 pm for Dinner.
I am off tonight and Friday and plan to stay home and finish what decorating I can.
If I go shopping at all, it will be on Saturday morning when the stores are usually dead!!
My annual Christmas Tour of our Home will start in a day or two so please come back and visit.........
Have a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you get to spend it with those that you love!!
Hugs,
Deb

Christmas in the Stores: Wegman's & Kohl's
Thanks to Kathryn, over at The Dedicated House for featuring my Post, Christmas in the Stores : Michaels, as "Your Favorite" from last week's Anything Blue Party!
Thanks, Kathryn!
And I want to Thank Pam over at From My Porch to Yours , for featuring my post,
Christmas in the Stores: Lowes, as the #1 Viewed Post from last week's Treasure Hunt Thursday Party!!
Thanks, Pam!!
And I also want to Thank Maria Elena , over at Our Home Away From Home, for featuring my post,
Christmas in the Stores: Big Lots, as one of the Top Viewed posts from this past week's
Tuesday's at Our Home Party!!
Thanks so much!!
Please take some time to visit and link up to these wonderful parties!!!
Today I am continuing my series on Christmas in the Stores and will be featuring Wegman's Grocery Store.
I do not know if you have a Wegman's in your area but this is where Joe does the majority of our food shopping....
Yes, you read that right....Joe does the food shopping as does his Father before him!!! My Dad also did the food shopping too!!
Lucky me because I HATE food shopping!!
Anyway, Wegman's always has a wonderful seasonal department and this year, for Christmas, they have some really great merchandise!!
Great displays!!
I love going into Wegman's because it does not have the feeling of a Grocery Store .
I think it is because of the terra cotta painted ceiling that you see in the background of these pictures. It creates a very warm and inviting atmosphere because it is not stark white with bright lights!!
I am totally in love with this Cardinal pattern!!
Look at the Tea Pot and Sugar and Creamer!!!
They are marked "Winter Wonderland" so I will be watching for these to go on Clearance because I decorate my Red Kitchen with a Winter Bird tree and Cardinals after Christmas!!
Pretty silver ornament dishes!!
Very pretty!
Kitchen Carolers and Santas!
Love those spatulas!
Chopping Boards.....
Spoon Rests....
Now on to Decor!!
Lots of Goodies!!
Love these snowmen.....
More Cardinals.....
Greenery.....
Dishes....
Flags......
Lots of Ornaments!!
Love the Kitchen ones....
And the Cupcakes!
Solar Lights....
Candles....
Lights....
Hats and Stockings...
Really Pretty Glassware.....
Again, LOVE those Cardinals!!
Sorry it's blurry.......
Village Collection!
Even Trains!
Gingerbread Houses to Create!
Pillows and Throws....
They were just putting out dish towels and tablecloths but I did not stick around until they finished......
In the Gift Department....
I collection Bearington Bears and I usually buy them here for 75% off after every Holiday!
Love these too!
Totally love these!!
So cute and would look good in my Kitchen!!
Not too bad for a Grocery Store, huh?
I also want to Thank Wegman;s for their donation of a $30.00 Gift Card to the Basket Raffle that Joe and I are running for our Church in conjunction with the Craft Fair.
If interesting in seeking a donation for a non profit organization from Wegman's, you apply online 2-3 weeks before you need the donation for and you will then be notified if your donation was approved and you can pick it up at your local store.

Again, I am receiving no reimbursment from Wegman's for this post.
Now I wanted to show all of you the ton of pictures that I took of the all beautiful things that Kohl's has to offer for the holiday season this year.....
HOWEVER......
The Store Manager informed me that it is Kohl's Corporate Policy not to allow any pictures to be taken in their stores except by Kohl's itself.
He was very nice and apologetic about it and he himself thought that featuring Kohl's on my Blog would be a great thing and great for advertising but he is bound by Kohl's Corporate Rules so I , respectfully, will not share all the pictures I took in Kohl's.
UNLESS, I hear from Kohl's and they allow it........
Anyone from Kohl's out there????????
I am so glad that everyone seems to be enjoying this series on what the stores are offering for this Holiday season.
I enjoy seeing for myself too!!

By the way, I mentioned that I was waiting for the set of two 4 1/2 foot trees for $50 to go on sale in Big Lots.....
Well, they did this week for $40.00 and one is perfect for my new Kitchen Tree!!
I already added my Candy lights to it and it is waiting to be decorated!
The second Tree of the set is going to my son, Joey, who will use it in his apartment in place of the small 3 foot table top tree that he has been using for Christmas.
And for those of you who have been following my Weight Loss Journey over on Debbie-Dabble,
this is what I now look like after losing 46 pounds so far......
15 pounds to go by March to achieve my Goal of losing 60 pounds in a year!!
