April Prime Purchases



April 1st, and time for another edition of Prime Purchases.  My thanks to Tanya at The Other Side of the Road for hosting this fun link up each month.  I have a hodgepodge of items this month so enjoy and perhaps you'll see something that you need or want.

SKINNY  ACRYLIC  TUMBLERS



I had used my double walled tumblers for long enough.  The rubber seals wouldn't stay in and I decided it was time for some new tumblers.  Well, I saw these and decided they would work very well for my nutritional tea that I drink everyday.  They are skinny, easy to hold and keep my tea cold while I drink it.  And, need I say, they are so cute! And, I ordered my name and initials from Etsy to decorate them.  They would also make great gifts as there are 8 to a box.



CUTE  AND  COLORFUL  MUGS  AND  DESSERT  PLATES






I succumbed to the temptation, yes, I did! Aren't these just the cutest? No, I did not need them for sure but I couldn't resist.  I love dessert plates and mugs and these are just so happy looking. I will say that the dessert plates are smaller than some but plenty big enough for any dessert I will be serving.


AMAZON  and  AMAZON


STUDDED  JEAN  JACKET


This is such a cute jacket.  I thought it might be a bit gaudy but it really isn't.  There are no embellishments on the back of it and it looks really cute with white jeans.  It's just a fun jacket!



DECORATIVE  TASSELS


I love decorative tassels.  I like to use them on drawer knobs, door knobs or lamp knobs.  These are so well made and come in several colors.  And, there's lots and lots of others throughout Amazon, different lengths and different colors, depends on your preference.



CONTAINERS  WITH  LIDS


I'm pretty sure I have listed these before but I use these containers ALL THE TIME!  They are just so handy to have and if I take something to someone in them, they do not need to worry about returning it.  They are great for freezing and storage too.

AMAZON


PLAYTEX  HANDSAVER  GLOVES


I started not to include these but decided that there might be someone out there that doesn't know how wonderful these are.  I have been wearing these gloves or something similar, all my adult life.  My mother always wore gloves washing dishes and I just thought that was what you did, so I've been through lots and lots of pairs of gloves and I love these.  AND, you get 6 pair and the price is fantastic. 


BAKERY  EMULSION



A friend gave us a little mini pound cake that she had made a couple of weeks ago.  I make a really good Almond Pound cake but this cake was REALLY good too.  I seemed to sense that there was something just a tad different in hers, so I ask her about it.  She said it had a tiny bit of Bakery Emulsion in it.  Well, not sure where I've been, but I've never heard of such but I now own a bottle and I will be using it in my cakes from here on.  It only takes 1/2 teaspoon and, from what I read, any more than that can ruin the taste.  I can't believe 1/2 teaspoon makes such a difference but I promise it does.  I'm thinking I may try it in my next batch of cookies as well.


ERASEABLE  GEL  PENS


These are the BEST, especially if you are using them on a calendar.  Yes, we still keep an old fashioned wall calendar for our appointments.~smile~  And, I love a neat calendar and do not like to mark or white out anything.  So, I found these little jewels a couple of years ago and they solve the problem.  If I need to change anything on my calendar I just erase it and it does a great job.  No mess!  I only use them for my calendar but you can certainly use them for all your writing if you desire.



SEMI - CIRCLE  DOOR  MAT


We use this type of mat at our back door going out to the porch.  They are so attractive, so good for wiping feet and I love the half moon shape of these.  They hold up extremely well, especially if they are sheltered from the elements.  They are very heavy and that keeps them in place.  I give these 5 stars..


And, there you have it, my Prime finds for April. Wishing you a happy April Fool's Day and hoping no one fools you too badly today.  Have a great new week!
