Confessions of a Sale-aholic

I DO.

sometimes this is a problem

I am trying to set my sights on things unseen.

Today, I am a bit distracted in this area.

Bidding like a crazy person on E-bay items, shopping Charlotte Russe's 50% off sale,

buying maternity clothes (note to self: not even pregnant), looking for presents for other people. Planning John's graduation party, planning his birthday gifts. Buying ahead for Christmas 2010. Mostly today though, let be honest- I am just shopping and looking for me.

Today I bought this and this.

The latter was bought in good faith at a good price on E-bay.  

(I justified by telling myself this was my way of "setting my eyes on things unseen"..out of context? perhaps. probably.  yes.)

NOW...

something I discovered via

Danni at oh, hello friend that I want.

are these precious things from Downstairs Design 

called The In Touch Clutch.

ADORB!! 

They are made with the sweetest of fabrics. I want to purchase one but I can't even decide which fabric I love the most! 

ALSO...

I would also like to purchase this today:

the auction ends in a little over an hour.. is it worth it!?! AHHHH!

 BEAUTIFUL

THEN..

John mentioned wanting to buy me these a few weeks ago..

.. but then he realized how much they were.

I think I may settle for an off-brand...that's quite alright with me! I can't justify spending $140 for sweaters that go on my legs and feet.

Lastly (but not really)..

We want this for our room. When John saw this he was all about it. I think it's precious that he has quite the little shabby chic design eye. He gushed about how wonderfully this would compliment our bedroom. What a precious!

So anyway. Today. I am THINGS minded but am reminded by the still ,small ever-so -loud voice in my heart

that I am to keep my eyes on things unseen and not make my treasures these things.

I still want them though.
