Chaska, MinnesotaDeb: I love a good bargin like the next person...Craziest purchase?...I can think of several....but the one my family still talks about is a three foot tall porcelain cat with hand painted strawberries on her. She has great big green eyes and has a smile on her face. It was signed "made in Italy". Well, a signed "Made In Italy" sounded important to me (I was young) so I bought her. I placed her smack dab in the middle of the house where I could she her from all parts of the house. Everybody who saw her either had no comment (casual friends) to outright "oh-my-God- what-were-you-thinking" (family). So to this day, I am the only one who really (I mean really) loves that cat. Twenty years later, She is now in my bedroom, elevated on a shelf where I can enjoy her all the time...

Crazy purchases? For me, it's not that they're crazy purchases. It's the amount of purchases that is crazy. I have 145 vintage childrens outfits hanging in a guestroom closet. 145!!
That's a bunch to start with, right? Let's see....Then there are all the outfits in drawers, cabinets, on shelves, in a heap on the floor waiting for repair, in a bin in the laundryroom waiting for an Oxy soak, etc. I have probably have enough dresses alone to dress girly bears everyday for a year. Now THAT is crazy. :crackup:
And I keep buying more because "It's such a great price! I'll never be able to buy it at that price again." Which, I won't. Have you seen the prices for victorian childrens wear lately?
You see, this is the conversation I have with myself all the time. :crackup:
Warmest, dressed in vintage white dresses, bear hugs, :hug:

This little guy was a crazy purchase because of what I paid for him (funnily enough his much bigger friend was a wonderful bargain in comparison!) ... way too much ... what was I thinking?!! He is a genuine 1930's Chiltern Hugmee though and I do love them. I bought him several years ago when I must have had a lot less sense than I have now.

Chaska, MinnesotaDeb: you are a hoot!! It sounds like you have a lot of fun with your buys. As do I....Who cares what others think...Enjoy the fun things in life....animal vases and all....Right?
Aleta: I don't think you are crazy. I agree with you, buy, buy buy...you never know if you will ever come across your precious things again...One can't have too many victorian dresses I believe....
Now Renae: one can't have too many hats either....or purses ... or shoes...yes definitely shoes....
