Black Friday Shopping at Home
The older I get, the less braving the crowds, traffic and general chaos the day after Thanksgiving appeals to me. You too? Especially now that so many deals can be found online – from big retailers to small, handmade shops – the thought of losing sleep and risking life and limb has lost whatever excitement it may have once held.
No sir, I’d much rather whip up a batch of this easy homemade eggnog, turn on some classical Christmas Pandora, print out some coloring sheets for the kids, and shop away.
Tomorrow we’ll get all the decorations out and set up the tree … mainly just so we can hang up this new handmade keepsake from the talented Lisa Leonard.
In honor of our new little cabin in the woods.
Looking forward to making memories here!
I’m also busy working on some new designs for the shop and can’t wait to share them with you …
In the meantime, everything in the hope ink Etsy shop is 25% off through Monday – so don’t wait to grab that something you’ve had your eye on – or pick up a few gifts for friends!
{Use coupon code THANKFUL13 to save on your whole purchase}
So much to be thankful for.
And thankful for you, friends.
