Christmas decor shopping and homeware haul 

Love the haul! Keep both advent calendars and put one in your kitchen with a different flavor tea in each day. Everyday would start with a new lovely morning tea

Keep both of them! One with a variety of goodies for you.. candies, fingernail polish, and so on in it and the other for decoration.. fill each sock/sack with tiny toys, stuffies, candy canes and so on that stick out the top. Or you could use one for your kitties! Add a couple treats or a little toy to each sock/bag. My favorite things were your planters. Those are to die for!

The house and the mouse ! Love love them! They are just so cute. The mirror is beautiful and perfect for a purse mirror.

The children are all grown and gone so we don't decorate inside, just a wreath and a few twinkly lights out in front of the house. So, it was great fun watching you and Karen go shopping. I had two favorites: the rustic wooden house and the charming mice couple. I thought the stag advent calendar was perfect with rustic house and the mice. Thanks for taking us along!

Ah I loved seeing our day of fun again!! Along with the plinky plonky music that is the soundtrack to our lives! I love everything you got and can't pick between the two advent calendars. Tell you what, keep both and I'm going to give you bits wrapped up for one of them on Tuesday!

Love, love, love all you got! I love CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Love the cat food ornament🐱. Also love the standing mice and the reindeer. I love the warmth that it gives your home!

Hi Catherine love all your Christmas goodies you bought. Thanks heaps for taking us with you. Specially love those planters I'm sure your tulips will look gorgeous in them. You always make me happy when I see you. Xxxx

I like the stocking advent calendar best... and the little house! Fun haul

Shopping early and shopping the day after a holiday really pays off :)

Sweet haul, Keep both advent calendars. One can have candy & the other can have daily verses to read for the season.

I love it ! Shopping all day with a friend is so much fun ! I love seeing your purchases !

Reindeer with the little bags or baskets is my favorite!

have to say I prefer the stag advent. the same happens here in the States, Christmas comes early so you have to shop early.

I absolutely love everything you purchased the boy mouse has nickers on they are so cute. I really love love love the planters they are gorgeous.And the rustic house looks like it belongs in the swiss mountains.God bless

I'm so glad you vlogged your shopping day. Getting to visit such lovely shops, what a treat! And your lunch: WOW, it looked yummy. For my Christmas decor I always check out TJ Maxx, Target, Walmart, Big Lots, Dollar Tree and some of the specialty shops that are all Christmas in a nearby tourist town. I love what you chose; love how you pick what I'd call vintage traditional to go with the lovely soft colors in your home and the florals and dainty tea cups. Pick a favorite: I don't think I can. Love the pair of mice, the cat food can ornament, the mirror, the reindeer. And the houses are adorable. I'm a sucker for houses. As for the advent calendars I'd probably keep them both b/c I love the red mittens, but I also love the stag. It has a rustic woodsy look and the mittens are more vintage traditional. It would be great if you can do a diy take off from the kit you bought. And I almost forgot: the planter pots you bought are wonderful. (I glanced at someone else's comment who'd mentioned them). Thanks so much Catherine. You are an inspiration. I love your 'go-to' attitude. Almost forgot, the director sign that Karen got you is really cute. Just perfect for you. I'll be checking out Karen's vlog too. Thanks for sharing the link.

I would keep both! They are both absolutely cute! My favorite pieces are the mr and mrs mouse and the moose.

Love your picks - especially the mice, they ARE adorable! ♥ The reindeer with the little outfit is lovely as well ❣

Love the redish one...you are right one advent calendar is enough.

Love Christmas so watching this vlog was great. Love the reindeer with bags/baskets. Thank you for sharing 🎄🎄

Spending the day shopping with a friend is one of my favourite things. You bought some gorgeous stuff 🎄🛍

I LOVE your new flower pots. They would be perfect for my front porch!! I am jealous! ;-) You picked up some wonderful Christmas items. I like the deer the best and I think you should keep the stockings advent calendar. Thanks for sharing your shopping trip!

Loved this video loved everthing my favourite was the cute wooden house and the mice can"t wait for the next video from jackie lem

Today is my day off work and I was longing to watch your new video and I was excited to see you and Karen out Christmas shopping! I love everything you bought! Keep both advent calendars one for you and the other for your beautiful pussycats! So looking forward to the next video!

Love both your Advent Calendars. I would use one for the Kitchen and the other for somewhere else. I love the Mice. I would call the Boy Mouse's shorts "Knickerbockers". Best wishes and I enjoyed your Haul.

Keep both Advent calendars. You could use one for yourself and one for the cats to get a daily treat!♡ ( After all our fur babies deserve Christmas treats as well!)

Love the little wooden cottage house ❤️ I like the stag advent. If you keep both though ...you & blonde can have an advent calendar.🐱😊

Dainty, you and Karen are so cute together! I loved it all, but my fav were the white french pots. This grandma loves gardens. Love watching from my home here in Southern California, USA. Take Care!

Such a fun trip! Thanks for sharing your day.

I love the stocking one the best!!

I love the stag advent but you should keep them both. You deserve it! Can't wait to see your Christmas tree!

So much better Christmas decorations than the US, so awesome. Love it

Started following Karen too! I can’t wait to catch up with her now. I work from home sewing and I am filling the quiet with your peaceful videos so thank you xx

I think you could put an advent calendar in two separate rooms. Like you said put candy or tea in one and beauty/small candles or something in the other. Both are great.

Carrig donn have lovely bits in too 😃 can’t wait to go buy more bits now x

My fav is the random Cat Tin lol, lots of lovely bits 😍

Great haul! You have wonderful taste. My favorite are the little mice!,,,, Vintage and classic never go out of style! I am excited to see your christmas home tour this year.

I love both Advent calendar s but I think I like the stag best. It's a hard decision haha. Nice haul.

I like the bootie advent the best with the fur. Your blogs are so enjoyable. I love your shabby chic style and your accent!

I go shopping after Christmas -- the prices are amazing. You save so much money.

I loved your "shop with Dainty and Karen." Ya'll had such fun! When you looked at the cat food ornament, I said out loud, "you have to get that". I said the same about the teacup and saucer! Lol The little stockings Advent calendar is my favorite. Put treats for Blondie in it. And you can use the other for chocolates for you! I love the gingerbread house! I do my kitchen in gingerbread for Christmas! It will look precious in your kitchen!! Tyfs. HUGS

I love the socking Advent Calendar! Definitely want to make one of those using some old flannel shirts! Great video, lots of inspiration and I love your shabby chic style

I love the Advent calendars. I would keep both. I live in the states and I shop flea markets for vintage glass balls and vintage silver Garland. I got to craft shops such Michael's, Hobby lobby, and A.C. Moore. Wal-Mart has some nice Christmas things too.

Both calendars. Given me ideas for my place cause I need one for my 5 year old.

I can't say what's the favorite., But I did love all of THEM... I really like going on the trip with you because we get to see the stores and countryside.. looks like a beautiful fall day... We have TJ Maxx here(same company) it is always good to shop there...One reason i look forward to your videos is that I get to see a little bit of Ireland and England...it is a real treat for us in the United States. .. and secondly.. your channel focuses on the positive.. the music is happy😃😃and the little visit with you is cheerful...

Such pretty stuff in the UK im jealous! Lol. I liked the mice and the stocking advent calendar. Thanks for the video

Loved the video and all of the goodies!! I’m so ready to decorate for Christmas!!🎄

Great video. I enjoyed watching you and you look so happy.... You sure picked such lovely things for Christmas. Thanks for sharing the video my adopted daughter.......You are so charming.........hugs and blessings..MINDY

I loved all your items. If I had to pick I would say the mice are my favorite of all. The calendars you have I would keep both. Put one in living room and other in your kitchen. The one in your kitchen I would place little treats in for your cats they need to celebrate as well 😊. The other I would place like tea lights in and different tea bags and maybe the tiny lace doilies and just cute little items inside each. I dearly love your little house. I love the shabby chic look. Love and hugs your way from The States. 💖🌹

I loved the Reindeer especially, but all of it was wonderful. I don't think your shopping to early. I've already started watching Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel.

Loved your mice so much! The stag advent calendar is unique whereas the other one looks like the various bunting you also put up. All are beautiful, however.

Just perfect! Just like you! Loved watching this! Thank you for sharing! Going to checkout Karen’s video now!

I LOVE-LOVE the planter pots you got --- the two you said you plan to put tulips in.

Love this ❤️ never too early for Christmas in my eyes! Loved the first advent calendar ✨

fave is the deer and the christmas wreath, I like both advents you have one and your partner have the second

Hi Catherine!!! What a great haul! My favorite are the set of mice and that house, just adorable. I like both advent calendar’s too. That’s a tough choice : ). Either one will be great. Love the stores you shopped in. Over the years, I’ve shopped at all different kinds of stores for Christmas decor, from Michael’s, Macy’s,Target, etc. I love shopping for decor : ). Hope you have a nice evening!!!! ((Hugs))

My favourite time off the year, can't wait..sooo here we go 😍😍

Hi Catherine! As always a beautiful video, it looks like you had so much fun🙂 Now I want to put my Christmas stuff out early! Also, congratulations on your award last week, you so deserve it! I think there will be plenty more awards to come xx

Hello from Pennsylvania, USA! Love all your videos but this one has inspired me to begin to think about Saint Nick. :) I love everything. Can't wait to see them placed and pretty!

Omg See my 1st comment. so happy you got this. the start of your teacup xmas tree. mine goes in the kitchen.

that red & white tea cup you touched is gorgeous.

Great haul!i love the mice too💕 and I vote for the stag advent calendar 👍🏾

Everything was beautiful. I'm so in the mood for Christmas 🤶 can't wait to put my tree 🎄 up and this haul has definitely made me want to go get some new stuff. X

I say to keep both...put the bunting one (red and ...) in your kitchen with Christmas tea and the stag in your living room with treats for you and Mr Dainty

Ah, girl, I loved this video - so festive! I’ve been shopping for Christmas decor too, already! I’m a new subscriber! xox Erin

You girls had me laughing so much. Thank you! I love all of the things that you got.

well that was a nice trip down memory lane,just left me homesick for my lovely Dublin

Keep the stag advent calendar. Loving all your loot : ) Will be paying a visit to the Range this weekend. I need that light up church.

Keep the two advent calendars Cathrine and fill them with chocolates love everything in your haul.

Great haul!, love the flower pots! And the mice are so adorable too! Please keep both advent calendars! You only live once so treat yourself Good! Put different chocolates in that first one you showed and put little makeup things in the other like polish, lipgloss, eye shadows, perfume bottles that are small, and lipstick, powder, face gloss, etc. ........I love your mirror and heart dish too! You have good taste! Use it as a candy dish for pepper mints ! Okay that's all I can think of. Thank you for sharing this! Kaaren 😉💞

Oh my goodness these shops remind me of what we have in Overland Park, KS, USA. Looks like fun. Loved the shopping trip with you this was a good idea.

I don't have many choices where I live. I do love the little stockings advent. Love the Gingerbread house too. You did a nice job picking out neat things. Christmas is my favorite holiday.

I like the woodsy stuff. Shabby Chic is my favorite! Had fun shopping...thanks!

Love everything.......treat yourself and keep both advent items

I loved everything you bought. I would keep both advent calendars. I also loved the pots from the garden center for your tulip bulbs. What a fun day

Thank you for video and blessings and greetings and hugs.xxx

I am watching this again in December 2020 and still enjoying it. Such a fun video. 😊🎄👍

Awww thanks for sharing. Your so sweet :)

Great finds! I'd be keeping both advent calendars, mostly because I hate what I call unshopping (returning items).

Love Christmas, I also collect and every time I go to another state or country I buy a Santa 🎅🏻 enjoyed your video.

I love the little stocking advent calendar the best! My favorite Christmas items you got are the two mice!! Adorable!!

Love this vid and anything Christmassy..

Fab video as always, love the advent calendars, you should have one and the other one for treats for Pepsi and blonde 💝💝

Loved Everything you bought and love going shopping with you.If I had too choose one advent calendar I would kick the soccer one I think it goes with the mice that you bought b.ut they are both very very cute.Looking forward to your next video.Have a great day.

Love both of the advent calendars keep them both ...one for the morning treat and one for the evening treat.... my favorite purchase is the snow covered house but I like all the things you purchased

I could not decide between the two Advent calendars. They’re both so charming! I might be tempted to use the red plaid one as just bunting and use the stag as an actual Advent. I love the rustic house! I would live there. :)

Lovely things! I would keep both advent calendars and used them differently. The one with the stockings could be your advent calendar because it goes with you Christmas décor. The other, I would take off the little bags and use it at your living room with either ornaments hanging or tea cups! You can reuse the little baggies for something else!

Greetings from New York City, USA. I loved all your decor haul, but my best favorites were the mouse's and the wood cabin.

Hi again. Enjoyed this little shopping adventure and this video so much. Blondie was adorable getting into the bags and checking things out. So cute. My favorite advent calendar was the Stag and I liked the little chocolate idea in each one. That is great. The two little stuffed mice were really adorable and probably my favorite too but I have to tell you when I saw the tiny tea cup ornament in the store I knew you were going to buy that. I said, no way she will pass that up. It will be in the haul. I was right. When you held it up to show us, I got so excited. lol (pretty bad when someone else's loot excites you. ) As usual a terrific video. But then I am biased, I love everything you put out. Can't wait to see a Christmas home tour when you are done decorating yor house for Christmas.

Everything is gorgeous Catherine! I adore Christmas shopping, that`s my addiction! I think you need to keep both calendars, and you can use one for the next Christmas.., or use them both....:D Now I`m going to watch it again! Hugs!

Keep them both! I just love all your videos:)

Thanks Catherine and do keep the red stocking advent calendar x

Love this video great to see Irish shops that I can identify with and go there. Love the American vlogs too but can't get to hobby lobby and Michaels etc Love catching up on your older blogs.

I love all your purchases but the wooden house has my heart❣️it reminds me of the Home I live in♥️♥️♥️

All your treasures are beautiful. 🤗

How fun to have a girls day out! Loved every single thing you purchased and I have to agree, I love the mice! So adorable! Can't wait to see how you decorate! When do you start? Thanks so much for sharing!
