The Saturday Six

 

I've been updating some of my shopping and wish lists lately, so I thought I would share some of the finds with you today!

One.

When we moved into our house in Kokomo, we found that the previous owners had installed a very business-like gold "No Soliciting" sticker in the front window. I noticed a lot of them in the neighborhood, so I'm guessing at some point, that was a big issue. We didn't like how the sign looked, so we took it down, and I can't remember more than a couple of doorbell rings in the whole four years we lived there. But HERE!!!! My goodness. We've only been here four months, and we've already had at least two long-winded, ill-timed solicitors showed up. I am over it. (The second one woke me up from a nap, which is not something I would really ever advise.) So I've been hunting for signs that convey the message without looking like we are a business. This one from Etsy is currently in the lead. I actually also really like this one, but it is pretty wordy, so I fear the very real message I'm trying to convey might get lost in the shuffle. 

Two.

Over the last few years, I've been trying to move our Easter decor away from eggs and bunnies and more toward the actual reason for Easter. We have a couple of art pieces I love that convey the message of Jesus' resurrection, and after this one popped up on my social media feed a while ago, I added it to my wish list. I LOVE everything about it, from the aesthetic to the message. (We are definitely keeping all the eggs we own, though. I learned one year that they can keep kids occupied for HOURS.)

Three.

Do any of you wear the blue-light-blocking glasses that are non-prescription? I have listed these on my Amazon shopping list, but I have never actually tried any. As a bit of back story...I do not wear glasses or contacts. My vision is better than perfect, though it's not as amazingly better-than-perfect as it used to be. Sad day. I am not ready for readers or even a light prescription, which is fabulous, and I have no complaints about that. But I do love glasses as an accessory. I have loved them ever since I was a kid. (Back then, they sold clear-glass "Attitude" glasses, and I had some and loved them. I wore them to school, got in trouble from a teacher's assistant, and wasn't allowed to wear them to school anymore. I think that was the first time I begged my parents to tell the school to back off. They both worked in the school, so my argument fell flat.) Since I do spend so much time on my computer and phone, the blue-light-blocking glasses intrigue me - plus they could double as an accessory. But I am just wondering if anyone has tried them and has a review on how they work or don't work? 

Four.

I saw this candle on someone's social media feed and had to put it on my wish list. How cool is the design!? Plus, it's unscented (unless you get the citronella version) and made from beeswax, so it's not a terrible candle for you! It's based on the courting candles of yore...when they burned down to the clip, it was time for the suitor to go home. (Ryan can stay.) 

Five.

One of the ladies I follow on Instagram recommended this neck massager - and I've had it on my wish list ever since. She's an artist and spends a lot of time painting, so her neck/back/shoulders are often tight from extensive painting sessions. I have a feeling if I owned this, I'd never let it out of my sight. 

Six.

And finally, this is in the running (ha! See what I did there?) for a rug for our foyer. We are doing fine without a rug, but I think this would be a sweet completer piece to that area! I have another one that I'm looking at too, but I think this one would coordinate perfectly with our living room area rug, which isn't that far away from the foyer!
