So I went back to Von’s today which if you haven’t kept up is my New Favorite Place on campus. I ended up buying a little candle holder and the wax squares in Pumpkin Maple Pancakes scent. I can smell the delicious aroma as I am typing this. Just wish I could really eat it! The holder was only about $5 and the wax squares were like $3. Now my room not only looks good, but smells good, too! You can tell I love fall just by walking in. I just remembered today, however, that in the dorms you can’t have candles! So instead you might be able to use an electric warming plate. Or go for something different, like the reed diffusers. They have those at Von’s, too along with a variety of oils to choose from.
I also took a look at the jewelry. I looked at the rings and they had a huge variety, from puzzle rings to birthstone rings. They had some funky ones that had cool stones in them, too. I wanted a garnet ring (my birthstone) for graduation from my mom, but I still haven’t gotten one. I’m thinking about dragging her in there to get me one! They weren’t too expensive, either. They ranged from about $10-$50 depending on the quality of the gem and silver.
So just wanted to keep you updated on my favorites! And I’m sure that I’ll be back in there soon, to check out the rest of the store. Seriously, I could spend hours in there….
By the way, my other big purchase was a Purdue fleece, which I am totally stoked about! Now I can still wear black to the football games, but not freeze my butt off!

I've never been in Von's before but you definitely convinced me to go. I like shops that are privately owned and not chains. I also love those tarp burners as my mom calls them. I have one that you put the wax in the top and there is a lightbulb underneath that heats and melts the wax which is perfect for dorms.
