My China Problem

Have I ever mentioned that I have a china problem? I don't know what it is about china, but put me in the china department of a store and my pupils dilate and I start to sweat.

Today I went shopping for lamp shades. I'm in the process of changing my living room colors from dirt and red to dirt and lavender. I couldn't find any lavender lamp shades, but I did find a lovely lavender top with sequins. It's ultra feminine, flirty and perfect to wear on a date. Since it's in the photo, you already know that I bought it.

If I had stopped there, everything would have been fine, but noooo, I had to go in the housewares department. Do I need china? No. Do I have places to put the china I already own? No. So what did I do? I bought more china.

How could I resist the darling pink plaid dessert dishes? They also came with precious matching pink bowls. It would be perfect for a tea party, should I ever have one.

I also liked the big square red Japanese dishes. They're totally different from anything I own. The matching red bowls are perfect for soup or salad. I don't know how to cook Japanese food, but I could learn, right?

I don't need crystal either, but it was on sale. Need I say more?

I also saw a dress that I loved and would have bought in a second if they had had my size. It was white organdy with a big pink sash around the waist. It was the dress of my dreams. Why do clothing manufacturers think that only women under the age of six like to dress like that?
