I have more shoes than I should have and I also have trouble resisting ink pens and pencils...
That's just a couple of my vices. :-)
Oh, dear, you hit a nerve there, Barb. I was just cleaning out my closet yesterday. Imelda Marcos would be proud. I gave five pairs to the Goodwill and it still looks like I wear a different pair every day of the year. (That's the irony -- I wear the same pair of black clogs over and over, and the rest just sit, looking cute.)
Ummm yeah...I think I'm related to Imelda. :-) I have shoes still in the boxes. I give all my stuff to the Hospice Thrift Store and the last time I cleaned out my closet, I took 8-10 pairs and, at least 5 of them were still in the boxes, some never worn. I still have plenty taking up space in my closet and was thinking the other day that I need to go get a pair of casual sandals for summer...
I was going to mention that pair of black clogs I wear all the time (lol), but they'll soon be replaced with the new black sandals I'm going to buy as soon as I get a chance to go shopping for them... :-) :-) :-)
Gotta love shoes. It's kind of a wonder that my husband is not disgusted with me, he has to share the closet.
Anything tye dyed, purses and my daily temptation? Marshmallows!! lol
Christmas decorations. Our storage area where it is boxed is overflowing and I buy more. I love that shiiiiiii. (I tried other words there but honestly, I try not to cuss but nothing else really fit the mood). My mom had a Santa collection and maybe that is where it started. Books are another bad one for me. Truthfully, I would never have to leave my house again and could spend the rest of my living years just reading what I have. But I REALLY like books. My older son has the bug but he is really specific and likes DC Comics graphic novels. LOL He researches and has a collection that will probably be worth money some day! Okay, probably not. lol But it's a bit of a passion for him so we go with it. I just like anything and everything from fun reads, to illustrated encyclopedia type books, to self improvement, to poetry. Love it all. Have it all. Give a ton away all the time. But get more. Half priced books and our church has a penny book store. I go in with a dollar and come out with book clutter. It's bad.
I love pens but they have to have blue ink. My hubby only likes the black ink so we have a his and hers spot for them!! lol
I am also a freak with kitchen gadgets. I cant walk past a store that has them. Back in the day i was a bag hoarder! I kept all the nice bags and had piles and piles of them. My "darling" children gave me such a bad time about them as i never wanted to reuse them, they were mine! It was just a few years ago that i was able to throw them away. Wait until the little darlings realize i have moved onto bows!!! lol
clothes! small obsession with Clothes from goodwill bc they are so cheap... and they don't even fit me! All bc I'm hopeful that one day they will fit hahah
so I have boxes of clothes that don't fit me!
