Michaels Stores’ Blush Romance Fall 2025 Decor

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

I have been a casual fan of romantic and shabby chic fall decorations for many years. Some years I don’t like the style  of them, but other years I do. Normally I purchase these decorations to use them throughout the year due to their color scheme and how I like to decorate my house.

For fall 2025, Michaels has a new collection called Blush Romance. The collection included everything I usually want to see in a shabby chic/romantic themed fall collection: Roses, darker tones, and vintage/Victorian inspired designs. My closest Michaels has most of the collection available to shop in store, so I took some photographs of the items that caught my eye.

Michaels Stores’ Woodland Creature Figurines for Fall 2025

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last month, I talked about a very cute fox figurine I saw at my closet Michael’s store. You can read the post here. I liked it a lot, but I thought it was pretty big for my house right now

While shopping around the store, I found a selection of creatures made out of the same materials as the fox. The difference is not only the variety of figures, but the size. These ones are much smaller than the fox I originally saw.

Michaels Stores’ Fall Fox Figurine Feature

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

Labor Day has come and gone, which means summer is unofficially over. (It will be over on September 22, when the Fall Equinox happens) Even though summer is unofficially over, the stores began to put their fall decor on shelves much earlier than that.

I decided to hold off publishing posts about the fall decor until after Labor Day. There isn’t any specific reason for it, except I wanted to reserve August for my own personal celebration of the last days of summer!

Even though wanted to reserve August for summertime, I started to browse the fall decor to see if I wanted to talk about in a post. One of the most cutest fall decor I found is a fox figure at Michaels Stores.

Kate Spade New York x Target Collection Favorites: Homewares

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

While browsing the new Kate Spade New York x Target collection, I discovered a lot of things I liked in the homewares section of the collection. Since the collection is so large, I was not surprised I would find things I liked in every category. What surprised me is that I liked the homewares more than the other categories! Stand out products are the vinyl record player, the tent, and umbrellas.

Everything in this post (And all other posts in this series) will be available to purchase online on April 12, 2025 at 3 EST and in store on April 12th.

All the photos in this post are originally from the media pack available for free on Target’s website. I edited them for this post.

Lego Botanical Sets and Why I Don’t Own One (But Still Like Looking at Them)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last month, I found a display at Walmart for the Valentine’s Day themed Lego botanical sets. I took photos of the sets, as well as other sets I found for sale that day to remind myself of what my local store sells and how much they cost. After looking at the sets and other sets available online, I decided to pass on purchasing any set.

For a few years, I was interested in purchasing a Lego botanical set. I sometimes like to purchase Lego sets that catch my eye and build them, as long as they are not too expensive and will fit in with my decor. For several years, I didn’t purchase a Lego set. This is why I was so drawn to the botanical sets.

Favorite Walmart Christmas Ornaments for 2024

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Every holiday season, I enjoy looking at the new ornaments. I do this partly because I enjoy looking at the new ornaments, the new holiday trends, and any potential replacements for my old ornaments if I need them.

This year, I found many pretty and cute ornaments at Walmart. I don’t always find nice ornaments at Walmart, but this year I found many! They include vintage inspired ornaments and glass ball ornaments.

Walmart’s The Nightmare Before Christmas 2024 Holiday Decor

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For 2024, Walmart had a lot of holiday decor that was popular. Unfortunately, my Walmart, which is a smaller sized store, didn’t get very many decor that was popular. Instead, there were popular decor that was popular in the area where I live. One of those decorations was inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The Nightmare Before Christmas and many Tim Burton directed films and TV shows are popular in my area. So is the merchandise inspired by them. This is why I wasn’t surprised when most of The Nightmare Before Christmas themed decorations sold out. There was a restock around late October, so there were items still for sale in December. Still, The Nightmare Before Christmas and items relating to it still remains to be very popular.

I was able to see the decorations in store before they began to sell out. Even though I do not share my area’s fandom for The Nightmare Before Christmas, I did find some items in the collection really cute.

Michael’s 2024 Sprinkle Shop Christmas Decor

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

This holiday season there have been many viral Christmas decorating trends. One of the trends I saw online was using decor from Michael’s stores.

This year, Michael’s had four themes for holiday decor. They are Sprinkle Shop, Gala, Holiday Pines, and Night Before Christmas. At my closest Michael’s, they had three of the four decoration themes. The only one that was missing was Holiday Pines. (I just wanted to mention I’m sad I didn’t get to see Holiday Pines in store! It had some pieces I was interested in browsing and potentially buying!) After browsing the collections multiple times during the holiday season, I realized I have my favorite themes. The theme I didn’t like out of all the collections was Sprinkle Shop.

I was able to purchase all my ornaments either on sale or for a really good price. One of the ornaments I was able to purchase is an Amazon.com exclusive little snowflake ornament.

Walmart’s The Grinch Holiday 2024 Decor

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

For the past few years, the Walmart I normally shop at has sold Christmas decor inspired by three different popular movies and TV shows. They are The Grinch from Doctor Susses’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Sometimes other popular movies and TV show inspired holiday decor is sold, but those are the three core movies and TV shows found at my Walmart.

The decor is different than what is normally sold in the Christmas section, so I really enjoy browsing it. This year, it seemed there were equal amounts of decor for each of the movies. I know many people enjoy read about my favorite Christmas decorations for the year, so I decided to do this for each of the movies. I decided to start with The Grinch because he is a Christmas movie while Stitch and The Nightmare Before Christmas are characters and movies that will work other times of the year.
