My Vacation Plans ~2021
Well, once I finished my workday today my vacation will begin. This year is going to be a little different for us. It will be the first time in about 10 years that we will NOT be leaving the state. My husband’s schedule has been so horribly busy this year and with the paint shortages, it has been really hard for him to find colors for his projects.
Don’t get me wrong I tried to find different places that we could go but nothing worked out. I am really frustrated because I want to get away but something is keeping us home this year. I don’t know why but every time I tried to come up with a plan it just fell apart so I am going to listen to God, I think he is the one doing this, and create a staycation next week.
So here is what I have planned….
For the whole week, I will keep my schedule of getting up around 6:30 and doing my morning walk. It takes me about 30 minutes to walk my 2 miles so I am going to keep doing that. I always come in and get ready so that will not change. On Monday I am going to check my office emails, have some breakfast and go antique shopping. I want to find a Chinese-inspired cupboard for my bedroom so wish me luck.
My recent antique finds….
On Tuesday we will be taking Lauren and her bestie to see the Starry Night exhibit at Newfields. I know she is going to love it! We’ll have lunch at the cafe there and spend most of the day there. Afterward, I may swing by the At Home store. I have a coupon that I want to use.
On Wednesday I will be doing some more antiquing, visit the Post office (we may be getting our passports), and do a “home purge”. I have a lot of things I need to drop off at the Goodwill so that will be a great time to do that!

For the rest of the week, we will be driving to Cincinnati to visit their gorgeous outlet mall, have a pop-up shop for the boutique, and get Lauren ready for her boat trip with her bestie. While she is gone Mr. Shockley and I are going to dine at places that we normally can’t. We plan on having dinner at Daniel’s Vineyard, and maybe the Cake Bake Shop.
I have a lot more things on my list but that could make this a really long post. So with that being said, I will be taking a week off from the blog. I will still be posting to Instagram and will still be shipping items from the boutique. I hope you all have a wonderful week and I will see you all soon. Oh, and I will be posting a video to my Youtube channel. It will be a “What’s in my bag video”. Also, the lovely Hadara shared the boutique’s Stella satchel on her page. If you have a young daughter or niece that may be interested in the Stella satchel then you may use Hadara’s coupon code. Just use Hadara20 for 20% off of your purchase! You may use it for anything in the boutique. I think the Stella satchel would be a great birthday gift, graduation, Christmas gift, etc. I hope you all enjoy it. Talk with you soon!
Hadara is so much like her mom! She is lovely. Staycations are where it’s at Mrs Shockley. I did one in August instead of the beach trip. I found some fabulous sights right in town where I hadn’t been before. Explore your backyard and enjoy your time off darling. Have fun. If you feel the need, throw in a chill lazy movie day🙂🌺🍁🍂
She is! They are both lovely and have been so wonderful to work with. I have never had a staycation. This will be my first so we will see how it will go. My husband will be continuing to work some of the days that I am off so I will have time to do some running around on my own. There is an antique store that I am having been wanting to visit so we will see. I will be sure to share everything when I return to the blog.
