A. There is no room in my small car.
B. I tried exercising will power in the car and didn't bring enough cash.
C. Some relative has threatened to call an intervention on me.
On those days, I take pictures on the ones that got away and look back and sigh, imagining all the ways that item could have been restored and styled. Here are a couple of items that escaped my little hoarder hands:
I am sorry but these curtains were SEXY! Imagine pinch pleating and thermal protection. Oooh baby! Did I mention that at just three dollars a piece their were a steal!? Sadly, I had no purpose for them and they didn't match any of my current things.
Look beyond the mountains of toys. That, my friends, is the ikea desk I originally wanted for my room. Modern, sleek and thin but with enough surface space for me to place piles upon piles of papers. Sigh. It was only 14.99.
This little lamp was so beautiful in person. The light bounced of its crystals in a way that is too beautiful to describe. That's right. It wasn't plastic or glass but a heavy crystal with a metal base. Beautiful princess lamps for someone else at 4.99.
Apparently Goodwill has discovered my weakness for cool Target stuff and thriftiness because they buy Target's surplus. How will I ever kick my addiction!?
Bachelor pad chairs, come to momma....
At just $20-30 a piece I was really sad to leave these. They were gorgeous!
Oh well, the quest for more will power (or a larger car) continues...
