Prime Purchases I Made in March
Happy April Fool's day to you! It's the first Monday of the month and time for Prime Purchases with Tanya. I was doing so well with my Amazon purchases right up until the end of the month when we decided to host Easter dinner at our house and I felt like I "needed" so much not having any Easter decorations at all.
I bought a few new cardigans for this "in between" season and really love this cable knit one so much it's all I can do to keep myself from buying a second one!
I also like this gray one... but I find myself wishing I had bought it a different color since it's not very "spring" feeling.
Evan needed some new hiking shoes and we really wanted something waterproof this year but our local shoe stores didn't have anything that worked so we turned to Amazon and he found this pair that he really likes.
I've been working on lots of scrapbook pages and I needed to buy some more of these adhesive refills and Cricut cutting mats.
Since I've been trying to cut back on processed foods I started making my own fries and bought this French fry cutter.
I've been reading up a lot on following a plant based diet and it's recommended that anyone not eating much animal products take a vitamin B-12 supplement so I'm trying these drops.
I was running low on my favorite deodorant so I bought some more.
My husband's uniforms are provided and washed by a uniform company which means he has to transport them back and forth to work. The hamper he was using broke so I found this one to try; it looks nice and sturdy but still soft enough to fit decently in his truck.
Alec's school is hosting a fundraising bingo night and we offered to take the older two boys (since you have to be 18 to play) but my mother in law insisted we all needed to bring our own daubers so I bought this set for us all to share.
I bought some paper plates, cups, and these coordinating bowls for hosting Easter dinner.
I also bought this pretty plaid tablecloth and some new hand towels.
I bought some fake flowers, candle holders, and Easter decorations for our table too (we actually use two tables to seat us all so I needed enough for both).

I like the butter dish
ReplyDeleteThank you! We have been LOVING it! I works so well.
DeleteYou made some lovely purchases! I like your cardigan (already too hot here for that!) and the tablecloth. I hope you enjoyed your Easter hosting.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Sadly it is definitely not too hot for cardigans here... not yet anyway.
DeleteInterested in how that french fry cutter works! I am also curious about the b12. I have heard many people are deficient.
ReplyDeleteI think the B-12 taste pretty gross but just 4 drops on the tongue (or mixed into water) is all it takes.
DeleteI love all your Easter decor/eating utensils that you bought! I feel like I bought a lot last month, but I forgot about this link party today. I'll write mine later this morning!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteFun things! The Easter decor is cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThe Easter decor is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI do love a nice cardigan, especially at this time of year. I love the look of that French fry cutter, what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you! That French Fry cutter reminded me of one my father used when I was growing up... though he made it look much easier to use.
DeleteI need to know about this butter dish. i made butter with heavy cream and it is so hard to spread. This would be wonderful it is makes it soft. How is the fry cutter. I like the concept but I would be afraid it is to hard to use. I struggle with the apple cutter that does slices.
ReplyDeleteThe butter dish keeps the butter nice and soft since it can stay on the counter and doesn't need to be refrigerated. I do think the fry cutter takes a bit of muscle!
DeleteThese are some great finds! Love those pretty Easter hand towels! Had no idea a french fry cutter exists. I always just use a knife to cut potatoes "french fry style" so I might look into this little tool. The butter dish sounds interesting, maybe I should look into that too. I always keep a stick of fresh butter in the cupboard out of the fridge so it can be easily spread. But I always feel like it's a bit risky in the summertime and it can get a bit too soft. (Never gotten sick from it yet over all these years, but it probably would be a good idea to store in such a container in the summer.)
ReplyDeleteThank you! The fry cutter is much quicker than using a knife (which is what I usually did too). I read up on the butter bell before using it and I did like the science behind it.
DeleteLove all of your Easter decor- so so pretty- great finds!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love that french fry cutter!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI love your Easter purchases. I have a butter dish of a similar style, it works great.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It really does.
DeleteSome great purchases.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThe very first cardigan I absolutely like this one. This is a good color on you!
ReplyDeleteTake care and best wishes.
Your Easter decoration are darling!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love that cable knit cardigan! You picked some cute Easter decorations. I love a butter dish to keep on the counter. It is so much easier to use!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteLovely purchases, Joanne! I'm crushing on the first cardigan as well...it's beautiful! I hope you had a wonderful Easter@
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHow do you like the butter keeper? I keep thinking I need to look for one of these when I'm thrifting!
ReplyDeleteXoxo
Jodie
I love it!
DeleteI don't host Easter but I always host Good Friday and realized on Thursday night that I didn't have anything Easter-ish for my table! I made do with a bunch of Trader Joe's flowers that I reworked into arrangements but you've inspired me to go on Amazon and get some stuff now for next year!
ReplyDeleteI bet the flowers worked equally great though!
DeleteHi Joanne... you look so darn cute in that cardigan sweater! I need one! Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteLooks like some good purchases!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI really like that cable cardigan! I didn't know you had to add oil to butter if you left it out. I always just leave it out in my butter dish. I've probably been doing that wrong for decades!

Thank you!
DeleteWow, I’m going to look up that cable knit sweater, Joanne. It’s so pretty! I have a vintage French fry cutter that belonged to my mother in law. I need to use it! Your Easter decorations looked so cheery. Happy April!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteThat first cardigan is beautiful! And I love the plaid tablecloth.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGreat prime buys Joanne. I just love the cable knit cardigan, it looks great on you, comfy too.
ReplyDeleteVisiting today from #MMBC #2
Thanks!
DeleteYou really pulled together some fun decor for Easter! I'm so glad you like the butter keeper. Thanks for linking up with Prime Purchases.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am loving that butter keeper.
DeleteI am really liking that butter holder: I am going to check it out!

It's French, and apparently dates back from ages ago.
DeleteI love your "Mint" green sweater. It's perfect for spring. And that butter dish sounds interesting, but we've always left our covered butter dish sit out on the counter and we've never had any issues. We've done it that way for 35+ years and no one has gotten sick yet. ha ha.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love the gray cardigan!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteFab purchases! I may be a little addicted to Prime. :)
ReplyDeleteOh me too!
DeleteWe LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteTotally added the B12 drops to my cart. And that cable cardigan!!:)
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it as much as I do!
DeleteI love seeing what people get on Prime. Those Easter decorations are so cute! I love the green cardigan too.
