My Name is Dinah and I'm a Shopaholic
I went to a yard sale this morning and found this painting,it was sooo me that I just had to have it. Nothing wrong with that,right? WRONG!! I have just recently cleaned and donated stuff to make more room. Well in the few short weeks since then all I have done in my free time is go to yard sales and thrift stores and have bought more stuff than I gave away in the first place. So needless to say,my spare room is full once again. All my walls are full,what was I thinking and this is a very large painting. I'm telling myself that I will stop and just start doing my treasure hunting in my spare bedroom. Any idea's on how to stop this addiction? In the mean time I will go and clear a wall to hang this on,right after I check to see if there are any meetings close by. Hope you all have a great weekend and a Happy Mother's Day.~Dinah~

My name is Lisa and I am a thrift shop addict. I too have a spare room FULL of crap that I just had to buy. Bottom line with me is that it is an addiction. I buy and don't even remember what I have bought. I have things that I never use, just add to the clutter. I feel for you because I know............trust me
ReplyDeleteWell it is a pretty picture.....Happy Mothers Day my friend.......:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh, I absolutely LOVE the picture and I can totally understand the urge to buy it.
ReplyDeleteI thought that when I sold my BIG house and downsized that I would have to curb these impulses...but, not so much! Now I store things in the garage and take turns bringing them into the house. But I don't always take something out to the garage (like a trade), which is why my daughter has told me that no matter how old or decrepit I get, she is NEVER going to dust my stuff!
So...in answer to your question. I can't think of a cure!
That's so funny~!!! you got the bug again...trust me there's no cure~!! But luckily we only have the summer months mostly for yard sales...As far as thirft stores go goodluck~!!!!!

I so understand!!!! I love a bargain and sometimes it's hard not to get sucked into the "going broke saving money" thing. And I get the needing to build on an addition to the house to hold the stuff too :)
ReplyDeleteIf there is help out there, I've yet to find it!
It IS a beautiful and peaceful picture. Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteWish I could help with your addition...I have the opposite problem - don't like to shop. :(
Oops...that should have been "addiction.:
ReplyDeleteHehe, I'm like this with second hand book shops, well not the shops but the books...can not resist them! I'm a maniac!:)
