Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive May 2004: For some reason I love to buy....
and seem to be "drawn" to buying beautiful ceramic bowls, like fruit bowls. Someone mentioned they loved to buy cookbooks so that got me thinking. Do you have an item that you already have enough of, but continue to keep looking at and buying or want to buy. I can't afford to buy anymore because the bowls that I like are usually too expensive, and really how many fruit bowls etc...can a person use.
cross stitch fabric, lol. I think i have enough to last for the rest of my life and my daughters life if we cross stitched every single day for the rest of our life!! My dh laughs at me cuz i am part of a fabric of the month club so i get 5 more pieces every month! I have every kind in every color! I just can't help it, i just get excited to see my new stuff every month. But really, i will never be able to use it all!
I love bowls too. I just bought the prettiest green ones at Marshall's!
Oh, yes and scrapbooking supplies. I shutter to think about how much I have spent! Eeeks! It's fun though!
I love to buy purses and bags... My mom calls me the "baglady" lol... I love getting new ones! I also like to buy greeting cards.
LOL!
Shoes (particularly slides) and Capri pants! I also love fun necklaces.
I love to buy the decorative flags for outside. I change mine just about every week! Weird huh...but I just love all the different ones I get on Ebay
I buy tons of shampoo and conditioner! lol I like to dry different ones..I think I currently have 5 or 6 sets.
I'm the one with all the cookbooks!!! When in the world will I ever use a whole books worth of Thai recipes, I don't know, but I had to have the book!!! No control!!! I have no control at all!!! Cookbooks and music!!!! I have more albums and 45s (and now CDs) than anyone should be allowed to have. Yet, if I see a record convention in the area, I have to go, and will ALWAYS come home with something!!!
Lol Nikkie ! You sound like my daughter.If she could she also would buy shampoo and nail polish and lots of it .
Car seats! LOL! I have two kids and currently own 10 car seats/boosters. DH teases me all the time and says, "NO MORE!" I secretly bought a new backless booster a few weeks ago.
10 car seats? LOL! Yikes! I like to buy stuff for my kids and now we all want to buy stuff for the dog!
OK I am over here yelling at my husband that I am some kind of freak!! There isn't a thing I buy like this. I do not collect anything, I don't obsessively buy any particular type of thing. I don't display any decorative items that I have a lot of. Am I really that unusual? I have about 10 pairs of shoes, 15 pairs of pants, 5 cookbooks, one lrg. decorative bowl, 10 nail polish colors, 4 purses,etc. I'm beginning to think I'm deprived!
(Ha-Ha) No Tink, maybe you are the normal one!!!
Shoes here. It seems like everytime I go to the store I end up with a new pair. Oh well, whatever makes me happy!
Decorating magazines......I buy them at Safeway when I am getting groceries...then I hide them from Dh for a few weeks...then pull them out as if they are"old magazines".......
Ribbon and scrapbooking supplies, shoes and purses/totes!
ROFL Trina!!!!
Tink, I'm like you...I don't collect anything, and I have a hard time spending money on anything! Most of my impulse buys are clothes for the kids...especially t-shirts for my teenage dd, who sort of collects them. I do love cookbooks, but I ask for them for gifts, I don't buy them myself. I do buy coffee at Starbucks A LOT...does that count? I don't want to be a freak like Tink...LOL
Jewelry. I can't get enough. I love estate pieces and custom pieces. I have more than I can ever wear, but when I see something new, well ...
Yikes, Ame, me too!!!!! I don't have more than I can wear, but I've been on quite a binge........
Scrapbooking supplies.
I only have about 5 pairs of shoes, I think. Navy blue dress shoes, black dress shoes, my regular tennies, my nurse whites, and some sandals. If slippers count, I'm up to 6! LOL! I only tend to buy new shoes when a current pair wears out.
OK, enough about my shoes. I have 2 pairs of tennies (one for cleaning and yard work, one for out-and-about), black heels, black flats, black boots, 3 pairs of flip-flops, and a pair of dress sandals. I don't buy coffee and I have a group of friends that all subscribe to a different magazine then we switch around, I don't scrapbook, I do read a lot and buy a paperback bestseller once every 2 weeks. Even then, I pass them on to friends cuz I hate to have stuff just taking up space. Am I normal now?
For years it was brass ..... old .... new ... it didn't matter. Then when my collection reached the 500+ mark and I spent weeks polishing the pieces every year, I decided to start getting rid of some of it. I now have 300+ pieces, but I'm slowly whittling it down. It's easier for a few weeks after I've polished the mass every year. LOL
Flip-flops.
OMG! I forgot about flip flops. I'm a little obsessesd in that area! LOL! My favorite are from Old Navy! You can afford to buy them in every single color!
Shoes and fabric are my DOWNFALL. I have over 150 pairs of shoes, and have just recently brought 7 more pairs. You can never have too many shoes or fabric.
Vases. Dh buys me flowers all the time and sometimes include the vases but I just love having all sorts of sizes/colors/shapes to show off the flowers. And of course shoes, cant get enough of them!!!

I couldn't help it! It was only $15, and a really nice booster! LOL! I just have to be prepared for extra kids and car pooling, etc.! LOL!
