How Did Everyone Do?

Julie928 · ‎04-08-2013

Okay, the time has come to check in with all my forum friends and see how all of you did today. I'll fess up first ~ I purchased the egg-shaped bunny wreath, a set of mercury glass bluebirds and a set of mercury glass hearts in white. The guilt is starting to set in because as many of you know, my purging project has been a great success (although far from over).

Now for my gripes. I would have loved to see a presentation of the wreath I bought. Once again, the TSV and all the matching pieces were beaten into the ground ~ again and again. I heard Valerie mention at the beginning of the show with Alberti that there was lots of new in the show ~ new they didn't know about until 30 minutes before the show. Where was it???? I got all jazzed thinking maybe, just maybe, there would be some cute new pieces for Spring but nada.

I guess I didn't do too bad today. How about all of you?

nothing at Q from Valerie BUT I bought some nice Spring items at Hobby Lobby and Michaels today!

I will be strong and not get anything new. I love the wreaths, but I have many wreaths and can always freshen up the ones I have with a few new stems when they are 50-60% off at Michaels.

I am still on my "purging" journey, and continuing to find items that I forgot I had and will bring out again.

Congratulations to those who picked up some new items. Her items are really beautiful and I love the new spring colors, but I'm trying to remember, that I've spent a LOT of money over the years on decor items that now will be donated or recycled.

When I remember how much I spent on some of these items now being purged out, I go back to one of the comments that Carrie Bradshaw said on an old HBO show..."I have 100 pairs of shoes that I paid $400 each for.....I could have had $40,000 by now if I hadn't bought all those shoes!"

......You look like I need a drink.....

After spending days taking down the Christmas decorations, I am on a self imposed spending freeze. If I don't need it, I'm not buying it.

The TSV just wasn't my style or colors. I am not a pink and green person when it comes to home decor.

For those who did purchase items, I hope you enjoy them!

ETA: I am in the process of purging many of my Christmas decor and other decorating items I no longer want, use or need.

I saw that bunny wreath. Love that it's oval. I watched Valerie at midnight just to see the TSV. That wasn't one of my brighter ideas. I was tired when the alarm went off at 6. I was at work all day, so I missed the show. I flipped into her show tonight, but kept seeing the TSV. So, I achieved my goal of buying nothing.

@Julie928 I bought the AD wreaths. Time to switch some old ones out. I might cancel the summer/blue toned wreath as it didn't wow me. I stopped myself from the buying the AD matching candle ones.

I was looking forward to seeing the bunny wreath presented, and was disappointed that it wasn't shown. I left a comment on Valerie's FB page, asking if it would be presented during the 8:00 show. She told me that it wouldn't be.
