Saturday Suggestions

 


This week has been a busy one here in Shafferland – on and off the work clock. Therefore, today I present you the most random assortment of items! No rhyme or reason today!

ONE. 

I had to throw away another pair of socks this week. The bottom side officially had a larger hole space than material covering the bottom of my foot, so I finally gave in and called that pair permanently retired. I told Ryan this means I’ll soon need new socks, because I’ve had to permanently retire several lately. While I usually wear no-show socks in the summer, I do love a good fun pair of taller socks in the winter. This site has a ton of them (I have not vetted every single pair, so hopefully there aren’t any/many unsavory options on the site) and I love the back story of the company! I think I need the “You Are Still on Mute” socks because I say that a lot in my virtual meeting world!

TWO. 

Speaking of my virtual meeting world, apparently I have been inspiring some of my coworkers to step up their earring game. It’s one of the main things you can see on screen in our meetings, and I’m regularly getting compliments on my earrings. It’s been fun to see some of my new friends sporting some of their new finds with much joy, which leads me to share this shop. I have a couple of their designs on my wish list, and I think they have a bunch of pretty ones! (Not all of their earrings are my style, but I do love a bunch of them.)

THREE. 

It’s been a full eleven years now since I started having bridal showers and we started receiving wedding gifts. We registered for these Oxo storage containers and all of them are still in great shape and getting daily use. I actually have this set on my wish list, because I’d love to finish out the cohesive look of my cabinet interior storage. But I just wanted to vouch for the life of these products. Still going strong all these years later! (I love that they store well because of their shape and you can see right in to know exactly how much product you have left.)

FOUR. 

These mini baked potatoes are adorable. Ryan and I have not made this exact recipe, but we really love these little tiny potatoes for sheet pan dinners, etc. If you’re having a little party, these would make the cutest appetizers. Cute food for the win!

FIVE. 

This isn’t a tour of a whole home (and it’s not a home for sale) but it’s a fun peek at fall décor in a sweet home I’ve enjoyed following. Maybe it will bring coziness and inspiration to your day.

SIX. 

And finally today…I always try to pass along good Bible study options to you when I find them. This was a new one to me this week, and while I have not seen them in person myself, I trust the person who posted that her church is using them. They are Bible study guides…but the intent is to get YOU into the Bible, not to offer a bunch of extra personal commentary. They don’t have every single book of the Bible published in a study, but the store has a great base of study guides, so I’m passing along the idea to you!

I love decorating my front porch for fall. I have two large oval galvanized metal buckets that I put two pots of mums in. These sit on the steps. This year I also bought some Indian corn and made two bunches to hang on my railing. My brother was visiting and bought me a very large pumpkin, which is on the bottom step by the mums. I love it.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Oh, forgot to mention that I got several stylish pairs of new earrings at a garage sale this summer. I got a pack with 27 pairs for $3! I think that worked out to 13 cents per pair. I kept two or three, and shared the rest with coworkers, and donated the rest. I bought a few wooden teardrop pairs for a buck each.
