Here are my recent favorite Amazon purchases for Fall straight from my Amazon order history! They are too good not to share. And there is more like Howard’s delicious grilled lamp chop marinade recipe. It’s our Sunday faves with with Annie and Cindy!
Faux White Mini Pumpkins
10 for $9.98
I tied a sprig of fresh rosemary around the stem to smell fragrant. The napkins are from Pottery Barn.
Weck Water/Juice Lidded Carafes
Set of 3 for $28
I can keep chilled water from our filtered tap in the fridge until ready to pour. They are also good for containing cold brew coffee or fresh juice.
Corkcicle. Stainless Steel Straw
1 for $10
I’ve bought cheaper metal straws, but this is the best and I use it everyday. It comes with a cleaning brush. I am going to ask for this big pretty tumbler with a handle for Christmas.
24″X 24″ Decorative Throw Pillow Insert, Down and Feathers Fill
If you want your throw pillows to look “designer-y”, you need good inserts.
These are for 22″ square covers. If you use the link, you can scroll down to other sizes. Order 2″ larger than your covers for a plush look.

Capri Blue Volcano Multi Surface Cleaner Spray
(Safe for Stone Countertops) $15
Our son’s fiancée gave this to us at first. Now we buy it as it makes wiping the countertops pleasant.
Multi-use 1-1/2″ Solid White Grosgrain Ribbon
50 Yards $13.99
I just bought white ribbon for birthday, hostess, and Christmas presents but there are lots of colors and widths from which to choose.
Farmland Traditions Beef Jerky Sticks for Dogs
6 Packages for $30
My sister first introduced us to these treats and dogs go crazy for them! Chief is allergic to chicken (apparently a lot of dogs are) so these are great. I couldn’t find them locally but you can get them on Amazon. They are made in resealable packages in Southern California. Since Chief is small, I just give him a half or third of a stick. Worth it for your Best Friend.
Terracotta Watering Spikes for Plants
$24 for a pack of 6
We use these for our indoor fiddle leaf fig trees.
Dusk To Dawn Solar Window Candles
Set of 6 for $26.99
I saw these on Thistlewood Farms post about making things cosy and ordered some from Amazon for us. Karianne from Thistlewood Farms is just as exuberant and fun in person as she is on her blog. She taught a class at the bloggers’ conference in Atlanta and I learned a lot from her. I haven’t put the candles up yet, but here’s how they look at her house.
Silicone Potholder Trivets Mats
Set of 4 for $12.95
These inexpensive potholders came recently and Howard loves them. We saw them first at Mercedes’ house. And apparently they are good to help you open stuck jar lids.
Those are my recent favorite Amazon purchases!
Amazon Prime Membership
We have had our Amazon Prime membership for years. For $14.99/month, you pay a price for convenience. I like the Fast and Free Shipping usually in one to two days. And we enjoy Prime Video on TV sometimes, too. You can get deals at Whole Foods (which I hope Howard takes advantage of since he does most of our grocery shopping).
Do you have an Amazon Prime Membership?

Howard made this a few nights ago and we all loved the flavor and how tender the lamb chops were.

By the way, we serve lamb shops with Colman’s Classic Mint sauce that we also get on Amazon. We used to have to bring it back in our luggage from England as it’s not readily available in the U.S. “Colmans Classic Mint Sauce is made with British grown mint leaves that have been finely chopped and soaked in vinegar.”
What To Watch “Nobody Wants This” on Netflix
While Howard is watching football, I’ve been watching the series “Nobody Wants This.” It’s pretty funny and the episodes are light and quick. There is going to be a season two.
If you would like to receive this series every week, please sign up HERE.
Let’s see what my friends have discovered this week:
Great ideas! Can you share where you got the pretty covers for your pillow forms?
Thanks, Kim, look here under living room https://classiccasualhome.com/shopourhome/
I refuse to support Amazon any longer. Jeff Bezos has tried to control commerce, a respected newspaper (The Washington Post), medical care, grocery shopping and space travel. He is not a force for good. Sorry, Mary Ann, but I did not even read this blog post after I saw Amazon in the title.
MA! What a great to tie rosemary on mini pumpkins. Love those carafe’s as well. Jim is away on his annual football weekend and I watched Nobody Wants This. It’s very cute and just what I needed. xo
Hi Mary Ann,
I love your list, but I’m supposed to be shopping for Christmas for friends and family. Haha. I guess I’ll have to incorporate some of the items I want to be gifts.
Your faux pumpkins with rosemary are great. I love the smell of rosemary.
Have a wonderful week.

Hi Mary Ann,
Love all your Amazon finds thank you and the lamb recipe looks divine thank you Howard. I have been enjoying the series and you can also google Kristen Bell’s wardrobe in the series which is fun to do. Beautiful reds!
Have a lovely week!
I love your amazon list! I need those carafes! Those candles would be beautiful on your home. We have no windows facing the street but they would have been beautiful in our former home! I pinned Howard’s lamb chop recipe!
I just printed your dip recipe! Scout would love those dog treats! Even Alie’s dog, who is picky can’t resist them 🙂
Mary Ann,
So many good finds on Amazon! I need a few of those terracotta watrering spikes! I saw your little pumpkin with fresh rosemary around the stem….what a smart idea! It looks so cute. I have plenty of rosemary in the garden!
I still have not watched that Netflix series!

We have rosemary in our container garden too. Those watering spikes have worked well for us and travel.
