I have a fondness for Coach purses. We were at an outlet today and I held in my hands a beautiful purse. Even at 50% off I could not bring myself to buy it.. All I could think about was how much fabric I could buy instead! And then, I found a 20% coupon for Fabric Depot!!. SCORE!!
You are too funny! You are a goner, indeed!
We can rationalize anything if we try hard enough.........right! :D
I gotcha. I understand completely. You know you're a goner when you think about "how much fabric you could have bought with the money..." I've done it so much times, it actually helps me stay on budget.....until I get to the LQS. :0:icon_rofl::icon_rofl::lol:
You may be a goner, but you are a SMART goner in my opinion! :D
My quilting buddy and I talk in terms of "how many yards that would have bought" when we discuss other family members wasteful spending.
All that means is that you're thinking like many of us. I guess that means we are ALL goners! :lol:
I am right there with you. I am a new quilter and purses/handbags/pocketbooks have been a passion (bordering on obsession) for years. They are one thing you can never outgrow! :icon_rofl: But now I would much rather buy fabric! :D
Yep, I'm the same way! So we are all in pretty good company, I would say! :D
I relate. Hubby and I just had a discussion about money and we both agreed I never spend money except of quilting stuff. I even had my daughter snag a couple DD's when I was sick. She would come over in the morning, get the kids settled and check the DD for me. Never failed, "really Mom, you need this?"
I totally understand that way of thinking! I do it all the time hehehe
Glad to know I am in good company....I relate everything to fabric...I have allot of fabric sitting on my shelves in a dark room..never open that curtain as the sun will hit some fabrics....too funny!
HA HA HA!!!! Yes, you truly are addicted.......Love it!!!
I'll say this now - someone remind me in a year. I'll never be so much of a goner that haircuts, manicures, pedicures, take out, sushi, and most importantly, COACH PURSES are passed up for quilt fabric. LOL.
I look at the costs of quilt trips and cruises and say to myself, how many purses could I buy? Or how many pieces of clothing? Or how many shoes? LOL - I just spent over $300 at Macy's on a five piece suit collection.
