I Am a Spending Machine!

Alright, not really. In fact, I sometimes have such a hard time making the decision to spend money that I have to call Mary, my mum, and further consult with my coworker before I make a purchase. Some might say I'm cheap but I like to refer to it as frugal. My hesitancy was the case with both of the items below. Then I overcame the feeling. I might have to live off of ramen for the next two years but that doesn't mean that I'm not in love with every purchase. These are the sacrifices I must make.

Very victorian and a very beautiful, dark grey. The capelet is removable! This will go very nicely with my other green, red, plum, and black coats. If you thought my goal was to have a rainbow of coats, you would be correct.

Italian Glazed Hollywood Regency Fish Lamps (50s)
I've been eyeing these for a very long time. I visited FrenchBlue & Co. almost twice a week checking to make sure nobody snatched up these lamps. I even strategized with my family about how to make an offer on the fishies. Then, miracle of miracles, the fish went on sale at price even lower than what I'd planned to offer and I couldn't say no. I plan to put either a black or midnight blue drum shade on them once I get them rewired.
