i wish...

After putting my flea market money into my secret stash I started thinking about what I could treat myself to again. Started the secret stash about three years back and since then nothing was good enough to justify spending that money. After my post about making money at the flea market Erin suggested buying an iPad but I already had ruled it out although it's still on the list of things that would be nice to have. Theresa hit a nerve when she suggested a nice piece of mid-century furniture. I remembered how much I love the bar cart that Niki from my scandinavian home owns so I started looking for one on Ebay and will also start looking for one in thrift stores. As somebody who loves wearing boots a pair of Frye boots have been on my wishlist forever but so far I could not bring myself to fork over more than $300 for a pair of boots. But on the other hand they will probably last a lifetime. Another expensive item on my list is a telephoto zoom lens which would be great for our upcoming vacation in Utah (hiking in Bryce Canyon). Or maybe a nice leather jacket?

Decisions, decisions, decisions*....

1. Frye Boots 2. telephoto zoom lens 3. iPad 4. bar cart 5. Leather Jacket

* Actually I have already ordered one item from the list. Can you guess which one? ;)

    Ooh, I'm changing my vote to the telephoto lens! That would be a great investment especially if you're traveling to Utah. Or a nice piece of furniture? I'm with you, I like Frye's but have a hard time paying that much for a single item of clothing even if it will last for a long time. That jacket is fab. Which did you get? Whichever it is congrats on splurging on yourself! You deserve it. :) Hope you've been having a great week/weekend! xoxo

    I do love my bar cart! :) I was lucky enough to get it as a present from my in-laws who had it collecting dust in the attic. I hope you find one similar! x

    I am a sucker for a good pair of boots too! There is nothing better than that new leathery, buttery deliciousness! I am guessing you went for the lens though!

    I want everything on the list but I ordered the leather jacket ;) Hope it will arrive at the office tomorrow. The lens is next, need to get it for my vacation, maybe it'll be a little pre birthday present for myself...

    Nina, that bar cart is gorgeous! I met a really cool woman recently who sells mid-century furniture through ebay. (Here's the link: http://modernhaus.blogspot.com/2012/05/chair-town-leather-linen-chrome-wool.html#comment-form ) She finds some incredible pieces. You never know, she may add a bar cart to her shop one of these days. :)
    I AM glad you treated yourself to the leather jacket; It's a beauty!

    Theresa, Thanks so much for the link! I will check out her site and keep an eye out for a bar cart.

    The leather jacket arrived yesterday and it looks fabulous!
