I need someone to tell me no more often. Today for instance, I convinced myself that I simply had to go downtown and pick up some things for my bathroom; purchased said items, then magically ended up in Anthropologie… and the rest is history, as written all over my bank statement. Perhaps just one more purchase to quell my shopping woes: this set of stackable bowls from the Curiosity Shoppe.

Individually, you get three colorful ceramic bowls; stacked, they look distinctly like someone’s head vigorously shaking “no”. I’ll keep them near the cookie jar or better yet, on a shelf near my hanging purse as a little reminder before I take off on another “absolutely necessary” errand.
