I’m with April. Books. And more books. And more books. Any time I have a couple of extra bucks – it goes to books.

Pens, mechanical pencils, handmade paper and idea books. Love ‘em. I can’t walk into the damn Staples store without having a complete meltdown. Love that place.

I’m a knitter. Yarn and needles are my addiction. i have 10 bins of yarn waiting, and I keep my needles in a vase by my bed… a pretty bouquet of colorful sticks just waiting for me to get the urge to make something.

Books. I love books. Ooh, and earrings. I love getting new dangly earrings.

Books.

Yeah, that pretty much does it. It’s my crack. Come to think of it, I have several books at home that need read.

I’m drawing a blank. Other than books, I’ve cut out every guilty pleasure buying habit….
Unless you count almost anything in Target.
I guess that’s my guilty pleasure, dropping 10x the amount I intended when I walk out of that store.

I have to agree with Ms. Menozzi. I love pretty notebooks and fancy journals. I have so many, most not even touched yet and I’m always fondling them when I go into the bookstores. I love getting them as gifts. I love having them on the shelves. I have one with a handmade hardwood cover, another one from Japan with leaves pressed into the rice paper, a handtooled leather bound one. Oh so many pretties. And I’m just as bad with notebooks, but they can’t be wirebound.

Okay, I’m a total nerd, I guess. Here’s my guilty pleasure:

binders and filler paper (college ruled). Also blank books.

Every summer I go home to the US to visit my mother and I inevitably return to Italy with a load of new binders and filler paper to put in them. The problem is that I have enough to last me at least a year or two with no problem. I just can’t resist the bargain prices in the US!

Same for blank books. I start using them, then stop, but I keep the books forever. ..sigh…

Oh, and pens, of course. But that’s more a practical matter. I teach, so I lose a lot of pens to students who forget to bring theirs to the lessons. And pens are mega-expensive over here, soooo…

Yeah. I know.
