oh oh I bought a pile of pretty necklaces for mardi gras, some sparkly happy valentines hangings, st. patrics day lanterns and candy and pasta and oh oh several other little things for a whopping 12.40 today at the dollar store. sometimes you gotta love them. ok did I need sparkly little things no but wait yes yes I did. I put them in the window near my sewing and they make me happy. they might make someone else smile too so they are worth it. big time spender I know. come on 18 necklaces for a buck? really? oh ok fine. do I decorate for mardi gras. no I don't. but it wont stop me from wearing all of them at once if need be. just because.
