I drove to Mineral Point to visit Hook's storefront here. Of course I missed where it was but that…read morewas a serendipitous invitation to drive through the rest of the town. In doing so I stumbled upon Sirius Sunlight. I don't know that I would have stopped in except they had displayed these really adorable Halloween decorations in the window. I'd love to decorate for Halloween... put peel-and-stick window decor really isn't my thing, so I typically don't. Seeing these I popped in and picked up five or six, as well as a few other things. She said I nearly cleaned her out of them--she won't have much of a chance to make any more for the season since there are other projects on the docket. I bought some glass pills to attach to the chain for some of the lights in my home. They make icicles here, for Christmas trees. I made a mental note last year that I didn't have enough of the glass ones (those are what I put on my tree) I was glad to pick up a dozen more here. There was a beautiful Halloween-themed glass plate (see photos) that I talked myself out of buying. Reluctantly. As much as I dread fall in the midwest because it's too close to winter, I'm really looking forward to October so I can put up my new decorations.

The shipping isn't cheap. It would be wonderful if they gave free shipping if you spent a certain amount. But as far as candles go, I love them. I always buy the tealights and the Pumpkin Pie, Cinnamon, Christmas Memories, Buttery Sugar Cookies scents are AMAZING. Frankly, all the scents are. If you too love scented candles that actually have a scent, you will love Springhouse Candles.

When we got there it was closed, apparently they decided to not open that day... We sat in our car for 15 minutes thinking someone might see a car with tourists in it and come open up, but that didn't happen. The only redeeming thing about the place was the dog that was roaming freely on the property. It stood outside my car door looking at me the whole time we were there. It became the running joke. Seemed friendly, tail was wagging...

So I finally had time to shop around in Dodgeville and to my happy surprise I found them at Kozelka Wall! Great service, reasonable price, awesome clothing. I am in the over 40 crowd now so finding well made up to date clothes is sort of a challenge. Well I loved my finds at Kozelka Wall. Thanks!!
