Your wedding and new kitchen are gorgeous in photos. I think you've spent very well!<br /><br />Mater: You see - we're coast-to-coast :-) I love all the bags. And the coats. And the slim knits. Oh, I could EASILY spend 2000 bucks in 30 minutes there.<br /><br />Ms. M: I really like to hear the stories of others. And I think you'll love Kate's blog. It's great!<br /><br />Seeker: A VERY worthy experience!<br /><br />Lisa: It's so true! Isn't that site a disaster. And the cheap room goes for 400 bucks a night!<br /><br />Thanks Stacey!K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-8295705594662737932010-10-31T23:56:04.293-04:002010-10-31T23:56:04.293-04:00Beautiful things can change your whole outlook.

I am finally getting better at "buying better."<br /><br />Sewing was a catalyst for me in a way, too. I got tired of putting work into things made out of cheap fabric that didn't last. So I limited myself to a few high-quality online fabric retailers, and I've never been happier with my purchases.<br /><br />This got me thinking about other things I purchase, and I'm now (very slowly) working to upgrade my RTW wardrobe and, hopefully someday soon, my home furnishings.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading Kate's blog.

Their large Knot bag (the one with the flap) is so perfectly designed for function that I'm sure its prototype was worn for months and tweaked 'til it was just right. <br />This fall I decided I needed something a bit more briefcase-like (just a bit) and bought one of their Function bags -- I'm getting less and less willing, now, to break out any of my Fashion-y handbags 'cause these M0851 realize how much you give up for that look. And their Function is offered in beautiful, beautiful leather. <br />I've also given my husband a larger Function bag that he uses for everything! and a small pouch-on-a-strap that we tease him about, his man-purse, but which is fabulously useful yet so unobtrusive.<br />Whoops! some enthusiasm has obv. been unleashed here. I'm going on and on, aren't I?! <br />Anyway, your new wallet looks wonderful.

We...I'm still recovering from wedding-planning. We thought a lot about buying with intention, voting with our money, stuff like that. We also remodeled our kitchen last year and tried to use the same principles. Supporting businesses we love and want in our neighborhood. Offsetting the never-ending big box purchases (hello, Ikea, I'm talking about you) with purchases at locally owned stores. Not buying junky stuff to get us by, but waiting to buy what we really want. Not participating in disposable culture (although I still over-buy cheap gross fabric! i have a PROBLEM!!) Yay for tea and new buttery wallets![patty the snug bug]https://www.blogger.com/profile/17830791771911214780noreply@blogger.com
