you know... before tpf i was perfectly happy carrying purses from walmart and silver jewelry from ross.


And I keep telling myself that after THIS piece, I'll be happy and done. No, but really I have just one pair of earrings and one necklace on my mind and then I think I should take a break from this forum! lol

this is the one and only good addiction! it does not loose u money, but in facts makes u money! and it makes u happy before, while and after! it can be passed on even if you dont have children, so providing u r addicted properly and actually buy proper jewellery, u should keep it up! thats what i do nowdays and i dont feel guilty at all. before i was buying expensive bags, clothes etc, now i wear what i have and invest in jewelery i can wear now and can pass on. keep on wanting/drooling/buying/wearing!!!

I try to tell myself there could be much worse addictions :yes:
When I told my DH that I really wanted a second love bangle, he was absolutely astounded (and annoyed) :rant: "OH, you have to have TWO of them now??????? How many more will it take until you are satisfied????"
:shrugs: I had to tell him that his question has no answer....hee hee

Yep that's how I always justify spending $$$ on jewellery - I don't smoke, I don't drink alcohol (breast feeding at the moment!), I don't do drugs & I don't gamble. I DO however have a weakness for jewellery! What of it?! He he xMMx

This isn't just about jewelry, but it answer's how I got this way. I love everything jewelry, shoes, purses, clothes...once I set my mind on something watch out. My mom says when I was three I would walk around on my tippy toes saying I had my "hgh eels" on and if she tried to take me out of the house without my "urse" I would throw huge temper tantrums. There was nothing I loved more than my grandma's jewelry drawer and closet, this is a generation skipping disease in my family. When I was in high school I worked part time at a jewelry store, talk about feeding an addiction! I really do think some woman are just born more interested in these things. I loved my dolls, but only little one's that could fit in my "urse", I think they were called Little Kiddles, I'm dating myself. I have 2 son's, would of loved a daughter to shop with but I've gotten over it and now I just look at it as more for me...and my granddaughter's (plzzzzz, see I do want to share and she's doomed for the gene!). So girls, unfortunately I believe "we were born this way!".

same here.....minus the breast feeding! I go out with friends but I don't drink, gamble, smoke, or do drugs. I barely go shopping! I buy pieces that last (clothing & bags) I'm not into cars....My hobby is jewellery :smile1: oh and i'm kind of obsessed with lilbub.com while we are admitting obsessions! just sayin lol....

Every time I buy jewellery I save upfront first and buy it with cash, or if it's online a credit card or paypal and pay it off right away. for me it ruins a purchase when I'm paying it off months and months later.

I agree! I either save up or wait for a gift. I think it gives you a piece of mind.
