I probably won't find anything I want . . .

I went to Barnes & Noble this afternoon; after declaring that I 'probably won't find anything I want,' I left with:

•Current issue of The Progressive; Ilhan Omar on cover

•Latest issue of Enchanted Living: the Hygge Issue (I'm always seduced by their gorgeous photography)

•Current issue of Cook's Country (tempted by recipe for Pork Stroganoff, as I am always sorry when I eat beef lately)

•Best of Taste of Home, to share with my daughter

•Current issue of A Needle Pulling Thread, a Canadian magazine covering "quilt sew knit crochet cross stitch embroider hook rugs"

•Issue #193 of Simply Knitting, which came with a small booklet of accessory patterns and one of vintage Christmas decorations

•Copy of Charlie Macksey's "The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse", which has been on my library hold list for a month or so

 

•An expensive (but worth it) organic dark chocolate/fluer de sel bar, which I heroically Did Not Devour as soon as I got home (even though I wanted to)

 

So much for not finding anything and not spending any money . . . I should know better.

(It's a good thing I no longer live in Asheville; it's a lot of trouble to go to the mall, where B&N is located, so I only go every few months.)
