My Recent Prime Purchases - A Random Mix of Things

Good morning and Happy Monday! I finally got a moment to write up my "Recent Prime Purchases" post to join Tanya on her monthly Prime Purchases link up.

I try to write this post every three months but it's been longer for me since I've prepared a post for this. Not that I didn't have anything to share but because I somehow never got around to writing a post.

Since I purchased so.much.stuff. in the last several months I'm just listing the highlights. It's a mix of random things.

Black and Decker Cordless Drill Kit

In April I started renovating my kitchen cabinets which included removing all of the hardware. I didn't want to deal with my husband's very heavy drill so I purchased this little tool kit for myself. Absolutely love it and highly recommend! My husband has even been reaching for it himself so he wouldn't have to deal with his heavy drill LOL. 

 

Brown Leather Repair Kit

We purchased our leather sofa in 2018 and while it shouldn't have happened, it did start rubbing off on some parts so I wanted to try "fixing" it. You get these 3 colors and mix them to best match the color of the sofa. Maybe it's not perfect but it definitely is better than a random discolored spot. 

Hair Pins for Ballet Buns

Probably shared these pins before, but this specific type is getting so hard to find in store and since they do seem to disappear so often, another order was needed. These are the only pins my daughter uses for her ballet bun.

Deco Art Crackle Medium

Something I've been wanting to try in the craft room. Only did try once and it's really fun to see it "work" but it was only a "trial" project so didn't actually use it yet on a project. I need to watch a few "how to" videos. 

Workout Tanks 

I had previously ordered this tank top in blue but wanted a couple more color options. I have the blue in XS but ordered these in S for a slightly looser fit. I do think they run true to size though. 

Lee Shorts for Men

It is so hard to find shorts locally in a size 29 (mens) and that's what my son needs. These turned out to be a perfect fit and color.

Lands End Fleece Zip Up Sweatshirt

Once again, it's soooo hard to find the right size, this time a size Petite Small. I was so exited when I came across this zip up sweatshirt in a beautiful bold red. The fleece is not too thick so it was perfect for the chilly days hiking in the Austrian mountains. I also love to throw it on when I'm chilly due to the AC running, and it will work so well for layering in the colder months.

Luggage Straps

I needed new luggage straps. Not sure I like this lime green the best, but at that time they were the least expensive color so that's why I got this color LOL. They did help identify our suitcases quickly. 

Sage Green Boho Curtains

So I purchased some decorative pillow covers while on vacation in Germany and of course when I came back home I realized I now needed to look for new curtains for the living room because they absolutely did not match. I did order 3 different sets and decided to keep these.

Window Valance/Swag

After painting my kitchen walls last year I never put up the old valances and finally decided I needed to add something to the windows. I have two small kitchen windows and this is what I kept.

Window Valance/Swag

Another style I had ordered first and actually really liked, but they were too wide so unfortunately had to return.

Thank  you so much for stopping by today!

My Recent Amazon Prime Purchases

Happy Monday, 

I decided to join Tanya with her Prime Purchases link up this month. Tanya is having this as a monthly feature on her blog, but I only share mine about every 3 month. 

Lots of random things I purchased over the last 3 months...

1. SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post

Back in December I decided to move the tall cat tower out of the living room as I noticed neither of the cats went on it much ever anymore but they did use the scratching posts which were part of the tall cat tower so I knew I needed to replace the scratching posts. Most scratching posts I always find too light weight especially for my over 10lb cat, so I went searching for the perfect one. And I found it! Both of my cats love this scratching post and it is very sturdy. 

2. Amazon Essentials Soft Cotton Yoga Tank

I was looking to add a couple of colorful workout tops to my closet in colors that compliment my skin tone and have not been very successful in local shops. I am very picky with my workout tops as I don't like racerbacks and it seems like that's the only style you can find in stores.

 

3. YYV Women's Workout Tank

Another color/style I purchased. I kept both!

4. All Out Of Grocery List Note Pad

Found this notepad recommended on a site and thought it was a good way to stay organized. Magnetic on the back so I keep this on my fridge and mark down each time I use a pantry staple or notice I need to replace something. Then when I do my weekly grocery shopping I tear the page out, fill in what else I need and go on my way.  

5. Stampers Anonymous Tiny Text Stamp Set

I love Stampers Anonymous Sticker sentiments and thought it was time to purchase a similar set in stamps so I can use them over and over. 

6. The Pink Stuff

So my daughter made huge mess with milk boiling over and then she told me that I need to get this stuff. She probably saw it advertised on tiktok because I've never heard of it before (I think it's a British brand), but it sounded like a miracle cleaner so I purchased it. It does seem to work some wonders! 

7. King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour

My hubby is trying to go gluten free (he has been having digestive issues for many years) and I decided to join him for now. Being a bread addict myself, I of course wanted to try making my own homemade loaf of gluten free bread baked in my Dutch Oven. I've already used it twice (I am working to adapt my dutch oven bread recipe to this flour) but even though the taste of the bread was good both times it was quite sticky so I am still working on perfecting the recipe. It does say on the back of the package that this particular gluten free flour mixture is best used for non-yeast recipes like cakes and cookies, so I will be looking for King Arthur's other gluten free flour. The first time I added a lightly boiled shredded potato to the dough and the second time I added ground flax seeds. I think I need to bake it at a lower temperature and at least at twice the time. 

8. Neenah Classic Crest 80lb Card Stock

It was time to re-order my Neenah card stock which I like using for copic coloring and pencil coloring. I don't use this for card bases but there is a 110lb version available too. 

9. Stainless Steel Steamer

Not sure why I didn't already own one of these. So glad I finally do now!! It's adjustable in size to fit differently sized pots and the steamed veggies are so tasty!!

10. Throw Pillow Covers in Salmon Pink

I mentioned before that I love to get throw pillow covers instead of buying new decorative pillows and Amazon always has many to choose from. I wasn't sure what color scheme I wanted to go with but knew they needed to coordinate with my light gray pillow covers which I like to use year round as well as the navy and gray-ish blue rug so I chose this salmon pink above as well as hot pink below and yellow (this color is supposed to arrive today) to see what I like best.

11. Throw Pillow Covers in Hot Pink

Sooo hard to decide which colors to keep as I love both pinks!! Hubby and son both lean towards the Salmon Pink but Magenta Pink (which this color reminds me of) has been a favorite color of mine for a long time.... so I'm still not sure.... and then I may like the pretty lemon yellow...

12. Throw Pillow Covers in Lemon Yellow

This color is scheduled to arrive later today... I may decide to keep all 3 (they weren't very expensive) and it's always nice to change it up a bit. 

ETA: Just received the yellow pillow covers. I will return these as they are more "chrome" yellow than shown in the photo. I was hoping for a softer yellow :(

13. Bloch Performa Ballet Shoes

Some years ago my daughter switched to these ballet shoes for dance class and it's been her only style of flat ballet shoes since. Amazon had her size at a great price!

14. Big Toe Protector

My daughter is currently in the process of losing her big toe nail (something I hear can happen if you are dancing on pointe) and a friend had recommended these to her. They are currently on the way so she hasn't tried them yet herself but her dance friend is wearing hers with each class. Not just for dancers though but for anyone who needs to protect their toe due to injury, ingrown toe nails etc. 

Thanks so much for visiting!
