Friday Favorites

January 14, 2022

Christmas gift giving can get very expensive… so we draw names in my family.  Using the website drawnames.com, each is assigned a secret Santa with a $50 limit.  This year some people did not follow the rules.  One person in particular bought presents for EVERYONE.  It was a nice gesture, but defeated the whole point of drawing names!

Throughout the year, LB and I will go shopping.  Sometimes he will buy me something, typically an item of clothing that I like, and save it for Christmas.  It is amazing how quickly I forget about these things.  I’m always surprised on Christmas morning when I open gifts from him, but I soon remember picking the item and the the fun memory of shopping on that noteworthy day.

If I never bought another item of clothing again, or received another gift, I would still have too much.

One particular gift comes to mind.  It is a box of teas.

One box, containing nine small boxes, each containing ten bags of tea.  Yes, I now have ninety bags of tea.

I’m trying out each of them, because that’s just what I do.

And if you get a hankering for flavored tea, please stop by and I’ll share a cup with you.

A few other gifts stand out as well.  I’m going to call these my

Welcome!


I’m Kim… and I love Pretty clothes, Pretty décor, Pretty days, and Pretty much anything that involves family and fun.  Growing up, My Mama told me more than once “Pretty is as Pretty does” …encouraging me to focus on the inner pretty girl, as she is the one that matters most.

Here on my blog, I’m sharing what I see as pretty.  Whether it be an outfit, an experience, an event, a memory or thought.  Hopefully I’ll share something that will be interesting, useful, or make you smile along the way.
