My mother and I used to go shopping every Saturday that I can remember. We wouldn't necessarily buy anything, but we often would follow outfits until they went on sale (nothing less than 25% off) and the purchase. The days when we would "really" shop were at the end of the seasons when there were clearance sales. Since loosing my mother I don't enjoy shopping as much as I used to.
Don't be confused, I still love to shop, but I seem to have more fun shopping online.
That was until I moved to Taradise.
Now I tend to spend all of my money for the house. Sweetie and I went all out for Halloween, we created a grave yard, had smoke from a smoke machine, we had at least 10 pumpkins (actually funkins- made out of some craft foam so they last forever). I made "wicked witch of the east" legs to go under the garage door, we had masks, costumes and tons of candy.
Christmas, we have lights, wreaths, trees (real and fake - see earlier post) ornaments, and little trees to line with walk way.
But today explains the lengths that I will go to for Taradise. I bought my 4th and 5th hand woven oriental rugs. I have a Saruk, and 3 stone washed tea dyed and lovely chodras. Now all of my floors are covered, and the store where I purchased the rugs is closing so I am done. The one for my bedroom is yellow, pink and turquoise and I have never seen another rug like it. I cant wait to put them in place and walk around barefoot over the rugs.
It will be hard for me to downsize homes because I need at least 2 huge rooms for the big rugs (12x9) and a few long hallways and room for the smaller rugs. But I think Taradise is done (well not totally I have 3 more rooms that need the flooring attended to, but I have no tolerance for construction for the next 6 or so months.)
