Hey!!!! how is the week coming along. Do you any time get depressed coz’ you have been shopping and shopping and shopping :-). Right now I am kind of feeling it. Every time I finish one shopping spree I make a resolution that I am not going to shop unless I only NEED something. But the line between the ’NEED’ and the ’WANT’ is so thin I do not even realize when the Want becomes a Need :-). Sometimes I feel everything is a need and is a must have or may be is it just the greed within :-). Anyways here are some weekend buys. Do share some good tips on how to STOP shopping :-). My family complains though, that I am doing more of this after starting the blog :-). Well!!!! then I have a reason and a valid one isn't it?:-).
This a flea market find - Originally an oil lamp turned into an electrical one.
This are not wants! These are NEEDS!!! And this is most certainly not shopping because of the pleasure the rest of us get who read your blog. What a fun expedition it must have been to discover a treasure and then buy it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

And thanks for dropping by my Trail :) the nilgiris heritage rail is a lovely memory for me too, as school vacations used to be in Ooty. This revisit last wknd brought back a flood of memories! Good day to you Shanti.
ReplyDeletehehe Thankfully I am not a shopaholic. Mostly I would window shop and normally buy as per need. But, if it is artifacts or trinkets, I guess it is okay to indulge :). Buying stuff that does not get used really should be avoided. I love the name of your blog :)>
ReplyDeleteThe green bottle is wonderful. You totally needed it. :o) Thanks for linking up to Open House Party!
ReplyDeleteLove the green wine jar! I would totally get together with a girlfriend and go to the grocery store and pick out the prettiest wine label and good wine, share it, put the empty in hot water, retrieve the label and put it on your new/old bottle....gorgeous....definitely a "want" and "need"!! Happy Find! Pamie G.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Lovely finds! Particularly that jar of hand blown glass. We need to shop together someday :)
