Winter Purchases

I have not been buying many clothes this winter because I have more than I really need. But when has that stopped us?  LOL.  I did buy a few new things that I can show you:

This beaded fedora to wear in the garden:
I have an orange tote that it will go nicely with, should I decide to wear it someplace other than the garden.  I am not really a hat person, so I probably won't wear it in public.
 
these two sweaters:
I have not worn the navy one yet, but I've worn the aqua one three times and really like it.
 
This black/white shell:
 
I wore it last weekend with black jeans and a white jean jacket--loved it!
 
I also bought this bench last month:
I have wanted one of these for years.  I put it in the family room and store shoes in it. There is a door to the garage in the family room.  No more shoes visible by the garage door!
 
I bought this beverage dispenser:
I thought it would be great for large gatherings on the deck this summer.  Only problem is I never have large gatherings!!
 
Finally, I purchased this chef's torch in December:
 
 
I had visions of making a  delicious crème brulee dessert.  So far I have not used it. :) 
 
How often do you buy something and never use it?

  1. I always get excited when I see a post that's going to be about what you have bought. I love all the things...especially that shell.
    That bench is going to be so handy for you. Shoes at the door are a pet peeve of mine too. I once took a picture of the doorway, when all my family was visiting. My Korean daughter-in-law encouraged everyone to take off their shoes. Now it's a habit with my family and we are always tripping over shoes.
    Have a great day...Thanks for sharing. Balisha

  3. Zoey, you will have to share photos when you do use those really neat items! I think that beverage dispenser would be nice but I too don't know when I would use it and I have been looking at the chef's torch as well. The bench is a good choice too..you did good Zoey:)
    Loved your clothing picks..they are basic and I can see you getting lots of wear out of them.
    Oh and I do want to see you in that cute fedora:)
    Fun post!

  4. I always think you should live in Traverse City! We love to go there just to see the folks downtown--they look so nicely dressed--such a nice switch from Cadillac, where they practically go to the store in pj's and slippers (yes-I've seen that quite a bit!)
    Love the bench--I'd like one of those. As for the torch, I burn enough food on my own-LOL!
    :D

  5. I love hats, but don't think they look good on me. Yours is adorable!

    I love creme Brulee, but doubt I will ever attempt to make it. The blacksmith wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole!

  6. I just got a black open front cardigan with 3/4 sleeves, the very next week we hit 80°! I guess it will keep till next winter. I saw a very similar beverage dispenser at Sam's Club, but I too do not have large gatherings so I passed it by. I don't wear outside shoes in the house, but I have one pair hidden under a recliner in the great room for backyard use, and another in the laundry room if I have to go to the garage. Love hats, but hate hat hair.
