Prime Purchases in April

 Some months I am pleasantly surprised by how little I've used Amazon... but this past month was not one of those months.  If anything I'm a bit hesitant to share ALL that I've bought!  Of course we bought eclipse glasses and even a phone filter and I also bought household items like toothpaste and deodorant. But the bulk of my shopping was for some spring clothing items for me and lots and lots of party supplies. 

I pulled out SOME of my spring and summer clothes and found that I "needed" a few things.  I ordered a few of these tanks in various colors

As well as a few of these too.  I tend to wear tank tops a lot all winter long under my sweaters and many of them were so stretched out.  In the summer I will wear them just as a top with shorts so I like to have an array of colors. 

I found a few maxi skirts I couldn't resist-- I loved the bright colors on this one and the lovely shades of blue in this one.   I'm still waiting for it to be warm enough to wear them though!

I already have these earrings in another tone and love them so I splurged and bought them in the gun metal finish too. 

Our style challenge this coming month for the Ageless style group was straw bags and since I didn't have one I went looking on Amazon.  This one reminds me of a bag I used to use all summer long and I can't wait to use it. 

I saw this shirt on someone's post last month and was influenced to buy it.  I ended up wearing it to Tennessee and I love it. 

I can not find my comfy green jumpsuit that I wore all last summer anywhere (I think it got pilly and I ditched it at the end of season) so I found this fun printed one to try. I love it; even it has been a bit chilly to really wear it much yet. 

I wanted one last pair of linen pants in a tan color-- that weren't see through! And these fit the bill nicely. Until I washed them the first time and they shrank-- a lot! 😠

Alec is graduating high school in June and Ian is slated to graduate college in December so I stocked up on 2024 Graduation decorations and supplies-- some I need just for Alec's party and others I am hoping to use for both. 

Like this frame that also doubles as a keepsake (for Alec).

This decor pack (for both other than the number balloons) 

These table decorations (for both)

These cupcake picks (for Alec)

These plates/napkin/tablecloth set (for Alec)

This banner (for both; I hope!)

I also decided to make a bigger deal out of Ian's 20th birthday than usual since his 16th birthday was during covid and his 18th birthday was very low-key as well (at his request).  I saw some fun 20th birthday decorations online and couldn't resist!

Candles (am I the only one that usually forgets candles?!)

Tablecloth

Evan used his own money to buy himself a new computer monitor and after much debate decided on this one.  Something about refresh rate while playing video games... I don't know. He did know he didn't want a large screen and he definitely did not want a curved screen. He seems to like it. 

Lastly while Alec was home on April vacation and baking up a storm he informed me that both our whisks were broken and our wire cooling/baking racks had been rusty and got tossed on our last kitchen clean out but that he does use them and needed some new ones.  We picked out this set of whisks,

and these racks.

Here's hoping I don't need much of anything at all this month!
