2018 Hallmark Gold Crown Keepsake Ornament Premiere Event Haul

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Back in July, I went to the Hallmark Gold Crown Keepsake Ornament Premiere. My original plans was to buy some ornaments and maybe take a few photos of what the store looked like (I didn’t do this last year and wish I did not for blogging purposes, but for sentimental reasons), but there was such a large line and so many people in the store I focused on getting the ornaments I wanted and then hurrying out of the store before more people showed up. Even though I was unable to buy everything on my list (They sold out in the first 15 minutes the store was open), I was able to get a few of the ornaments I wanted.

Before I go into talking about the ornaments I purchased, I wanted to apologize for not posting this in July. So many things happened after the Premiere Event that I was unable to take photos of what I purchased. Also, the photos of the ornaments in this post are of the ornament boxes, not the ornaments outside of the boxes like I did last year.

Ok! Now onto the ornaments! Continue reading “2018 Hallmark Gold Crown Keepsake Ornament Premiere Event Haul” →

2018 Hallmark Gold Crown Ornament Wish List

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s that time of the year when the Hallmark Gold Crown Christmas ornaments will be available for sale! I’m very excited to go shopping again this year. Last year I got up early to go shopping at my nearest Hallmark store, but I ended up missing out on buying a few of the limited quantity ornaments I wanted to buy because I ran errands and arrived to the store a half an hour after it opened. I hope to avoid this mistake and miss buying the limited quantity ornaments I have my eye on.

Since the ornaments will be available later this week, I decided to make a post about the ornaments on my wish list. I’m not sure if I’ll buy them, but they are the ones I’m considering purchasing. Continue reading “2018 Hallmark Gold Crown Ornament Wish List” →

Favorite Holiday Dress Trends for 2017

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s that time of the year when there are parties to go to, which means there are Holiday dresses in the stores! I normally do not need to wear a nice dress for a party, but I still like to look at them and think about if I’d like to wear them or not and where I’d wear them at. Since I have so many dresses I like, I wanted to talk about the dresses trends I’ve found that I really like and why I like them so much.

Black Friday 2017 Haul- Target

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last week was Thanksgiving and Black Friday and, even though it’s the week after, I wanted to talk about what I bought on sale or while I was shopping.

The first place I shopped at is Target. I didn’t buy a lot of things in the Black Friday sale, but I still needed everything I bought. So, I’m happy with my haul.

Target Dollar Spot Haul- November 1, 2017

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

While after Halloween shopping, I stopped by the Dollar Spot at Target. The funny thing is, even though I was at Target to shop for Halloween things, I ended up buying more things from the Dollar Spot than I did in the Halloween section.

2017 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Debut Event Haul

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last month, I went to Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Debut. When I went, I didn’t think I would get very many ornaments, but I ended up getting more than I anticipated. One ornament bought is one I mentioned I wanted to get in my Debut Event wish list post, but the rest are ones I never thought about or looked at until I was in the store.

2017 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Debut Event Wish List

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Hi everyone! I’m sorry for the silence on this blog. I took a break from blogging for a while but I’m back!

On October 7, 2017, Hallmark Gold Crown Stores will hold their Keepsake Ornament Debut Event, an event to celebrate the release of new ornament for October. After attending the Premiere event in July, I was unsure if I wanted to go to the Debut Event. There was one ornament that I wanted to buy that would be released in October, but I didn’t care about anything else I saw for sale.

A few weeks ago, I received a booklet advertisement from Hallmark for the Debut event. While looking through it, I found a few ornaments that I wanted to potentially buy. (As of this post, I’m not sure if I will buy them, but I will look at them while buying the ornament that I already plan on purchasing.)

Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Premiere Event Haul- Part 2

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Recently, I talked about attending the Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Premiere Event in July and that I didn’t get a few ornaments that I wanted because they sold out. A few weeks after the Premiere Event, I checked the stores again to see if they restocked the ornaments I wanted. Fortunately, they did have them restocked! So, I bought the ornaments along with a few other things.

And now, here is the Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Premiere Event haul, Part 2!

Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Premiere Event Experience and Haul

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s almost the end of July, and that means it’s the time of year when the Hallmark ornaments are available for sale! I’ve wanted to go to the first weekend the ornaments are for sale, called the Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Premiere Event, for about two years. I almost went last year, but I had a family emergency that prevented me from going. This year, I got some coupons in the mail and I didn’t have anything happening that weekend, so I decided to go!

I know it’s July and too early to think about buying Christmas tree ornaments, but I’m always overjoyed to see or smell anything that reminds me of a time of the year when the temperatures are cooler and gives me an excuse to find really nice sweaters to wear. Plus, in previous years, I’ve tried to buy ornaments from Hallmark but they were sold out. So, I wanted to buy my favorites before it was too late.
