Sometimes

the only thing worse than not having money to spend

is having money to spend.

I spent three full days visiting every shop between St. George and Las Vegas only to return home with one pair of practical shoes and a classic brown dress. My friend says it's because I had the (birthday) money to spend. She claims you only find cute things when you can least afford them. How true, how true.

I did make one frivolous purchase recently, a darling cookie jar from Secret Haven. The problem is I'm not sure it's as sensational in my home on my shelf. That's because I actually purchased it. If I had purchased it mentally, like I do most everything else, it would have fit the space and the decor perfectly.

shopping = thorn in my side.

what do you think, does it stay or go?

(thanks for the suggestion of moving it up Tiff!

Owls really do like to be up high!)
