Thanksgiving & Black Friday Savings!

I have finally recovered from everything that I ate yesterday for lunch and am able to sit at my computer and blog about it:) I hope you all had a wonderful time with your families and took time yesterday to remember all of your sweet blessings!

Here are a few photos from yesterday at the Miller festivities:

Getting ready to eat!

 Yummy!

 Desserts! (I had a little sample of each)

We had such a great time doing what we do best, eating and playing around!

Now to business: $hopping!

I contemplated getting out in the crowds last night with the rest of the Black Friday shoppers, but with no must-have items on my list, my Mom and I decided to go early this morning. I got up around 6AM and was so excited to see on Twitter that Vineyard Vines had their outerwear 30% off until noon. There was an item that I had on my Christmas list, but had waited to purchase hoping that they would have a pre-Christmas sale. Just before 7AM, I called and was able to purchase the item over the phone. What a great morning surprise! This isn't the first time I've called the South Park Vineyard Vines store and their customer service is amazing! Mama & I left our house around 7:30AM headed for the outlets in Mebane, NC.  I picked up a few things that I'm so excited about, but I won't actually get to use until after Christmas, so I'll keep those a surprise until then! 

I will tell you how much I saved though!

Vineyard Vines: $39

Tommy Hilfiger: $21

Michael's Crafts: $9

For a grand total of: $69 (YAY!)

To our surprise, the outlets weren't even crowded! We got everywhere we wanted and had time to stop by Edward McKay's on the way home. I picked up this little treasure for $8.00!

CLOSE FRIENDS OF MINE: Don't worry I'm not planning to get married now or anytime soon, I just want to learn how to plan weddings!

I read the first chapter on the way home...pretty good so far!

Hope you all had a wonderful day of stress-free relaxation and shopping!
