Hubber's and I indulged in a little shopping over the weekend. Of course our retail therapy destinations are as different as chalk and cheese, but after 31 years together, we know how to compromise!
My choice was the "Wild Bird Unlimited" store, no explanation needed.
His choice was the "TSC" (Tractor Supply Company) store, farm and country home improvement, working the land, and outdoor hobbies. With "stuff" from automotive to fencing, to pet supplies, to work wear.
We both got what we went for, and I even enjoyed "his" store. (He bought me those cute floral gardening gloves in the upper right hand photo)
As I walked the aisles at TSC, I came across these delightful boots, that instantly brought to mind, my dear blog friend Buttons. I know she has her "Pink Cadillac boots", but she's a bit down in the dumps, and I thought these may just bring a tiny smile to her face.

ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteIf voting, I'd choose the first store. I spotted several eye-catching blues there! Thanks for sharing.
Happy Blue Monday!
they are sweet! and i like wandering through tsc, too. :) they have a great bird feeder aisle from which i bought my plastic tower feeder w/ metal perches (so the dang varmints can't chew them off!)
ReplyDeleteI would have enjoyed both stores...:)
ReplyDeleteHere from Mosaic Monday.
Pretty boots! Hope your friend liked them.
ReplyDeleteAh, a fun shopping day indeed!! Love those boots!! And now my day is off to a great start!! Thanks as always, Karen, for sharing the fun and the beauty! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI think I would enjoy browsing your wild bird store too, but the boots sure brighten the day..
ReplyDeleteI love those bird stores! The one near here closed, though. Those boots are a real kick!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to shop the 'men's' stores sometimes isn't it? I usually find something interesting to see. Our date nights usually consist of visits to the Home stores and Costco. And I often get to visit Winners while he's at HD. I love those boots!
ReplyDeleteI no longer get a thrill from shopping since I have such an expensive hobby with photography, but your outing looks like fun. Love those boots!
ReplyDeleteSounds much like my husband and I! :-)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE those boots.
Oh very nice, colourful, lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you both had a real nice shopping trip and you both got your treats. I'm sure Buttons will feel better at your thoughtful photo :) Wishing you both a great week!
ReplyDeleteThe blues just pop out everywhere, don't they?
ReplyDeleteLooking Forward to Your Visit at The Blue Door
Pretty boots, love what was in the stores shots!
ReplyDeleteLove the boots and gloves and retail therapy seems to work well ~ Great shots for OWT ~ xoxo

Those boots would brighten anyone's day.
ReplyDeleteYour store would be a delight to browse through, but his store would be interesting too - those boots prove it - love them!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Both are fun stores. You can find so many neat things. I love going to hardware stores and browse around.
ReplyDeleteooohhhhh we are shopping twins, what an awesome store!! Love those boots, I know buttons is smiling!!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely wares you found. Those boots are so charming - what a nice gesture to give them to someone who needs them.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh you found some great stuff. When we go shopping together I get a lot of reading done on my Kindle while Bill is in Home Improvement stores. You did a lot better than I do. Wish I could find a Wild Bird Store -- there used to be one here in Eugene but it is gone now.
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a lot of pretties! Hope your purse did not suffer too much.
ReplyDeletegreat store!
ReplyDeletegreat pics!!
looks like a real fun place where you could spend lots of time and plenty of $$$ *LOL*
It looks like your shopping day was successful for both of you. Each place was very colorful. I would have loved visiting both. The boots would be too tempting! :)
ReplyDeletePretty boots! Fantastic photos:) Greetings
ReplyDeletePretty fancy boots!! Boom, Bobbi and Gary.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a girl thing, because I too would choose Wild Bird Unlimited. But, we do have a store here that is very much like your TSC, and I have to admit to perusing it's aisles and finding a lot of fun stuff ... stuff that would cheer Buttons up (which is a wonderful, thoghtful jesture on your part). This was fun ... shopping by proxy:)
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From The Sol
I love to see these places with a lot of colorful stuff !
ReplyDeleteBoth stores are amazing to browse through. Those boots would bring a smile to anyone's face :)
ReplyDeleteI love shopping in both of these stores. For some reason, I can't seem to explain, I adore going in hardware stores.
ReplyDeleteOf course I would have a ball in your choice of stores!
I love those boots
