Ridiculous Things I Don't Need BUT I WANT

There are plenty of things I really want that I don't really need.  In fact, some of the things I REALLY WANT are absolutely absurd and serve no purpose other than fulfilling the ridiculous desire I have to own them.  I'm sure you have a few these wants too.  Feel free to share them ;)  Here are some of mine:

1.   I want this >
It's a bookshelf chair thing.  I'm pretty sure it's crazy expensive.  It's so expensive that I don't even know where you'd buy it.  But I happen to think it's just about the best thing I've ever seen in my whole life.  It's a bookshelf chair thing you can lie down inside.  How freaking awesome is that?  #amazed

2. I want these Stacy Claire Boyd notecards with my name on them.  They're $1.08 each.  I have no idea what I would use them for.  I just think they're pretty....and so I want them.  I'm sure I could find someone to write to.  Did I mention they're pretty?





Okay now the next grouping of items are things I call "Crazy Biological Clock Desires."  These are items I really want for a baby I DO NOT HAVE.  I have no children.  I am NOT pregnant.  I do not even intend to get pregnant any time soon.  However, that doesn't stop my crazy brain from seeing certain baby items and going "OHMYGAWD! I WANT THAT!"  So here are the crazy baby things I want for a baby I do not now (and possibly never will) have.

3. This is a $200 Expedition baby jogger, currently on sale at Target for $99.  I am an avid runner.  I love running.  I know if I ever have a baby I will want a baby jogger.  Baby joggers are crazy expensive items.  No one will buy it for me.  You have no idea how many times I've had to talk my crazy self out of purchasing this today alone.  I've spent the last two weeks telling myself repeatedly that I really don't need this baby jogger as I do not have a baby, am not pregnant, and am not likely to decide to have a baby anytime soon.  However, every time I go to Target and see the $99 sticker I think ohmygawd that's such an amazing price I really should buy it because oh you know I'd use it and it's the best thing EVER!

4. This monogrammed baby bubble is available on Etsy for the ridiculous price of $59.  I could probably make it myself.  In fact, I walked into Mary Jo's Cloth Store last week and it took me half an hour to talk myself out of buying the pattern for this adorable baby outfit.  But it's sooooo cute!  But I don't have a baby.  I don't even know a baby tiny enough to be cute in this.  But I really want to make one.  I know I could do it.  I like to sew.  But after I made it I know I wouldn't want to give it to anyone.  I would want it for the imaginary baby that I do not have and do not plan to have any time soon....because I am clearly INSANE. 

5. I LOVE owls.  I have a thing for owls (and elephants....and cats....but especially owls).  I think this is quite possibly the most adorable, cutest, BEST baby hat I have ever seen in my entire life.  It's also on Etsy for $34.88.  I'm in love with it.  I want it.  I really, really, really, really, want it.  NOW.  I want it.  You know, for that imaginary infant that I do not now and likely never will have.




I could totally keep going with the baby stuff, but I'm afraid if I do then you're all going to decide that I am delusional as well as bonkers.  So I'll move on to crazy expensive stuff I want with no justification whatsoever:

6. This antique 2.5 carat diamond ring is available for just $34,000 via Baldwins Antique Jewelery.  Not only could I never afford such an extravagant piece of jewelery, even if I could I would never be able to stomach something so frivolous.  That said, this ring is sooooo flippin' beautiful.  Wouldn't it look pretty on my hand?  Of course it would.  It's gorgeous.

  7. This signed copy of Peter Pan is $5000.00.  I'm not going to lie, if I had an extra five grand laying around this sucker would totally be mine!  I love Peter Pan. I love J.M. Barrie.  I love this story.  I want this. I want it NOW.  I think it's amazing.  I'd love to have a signed copy of this book.  There is absolutely no reason to spend this kind of money on a signed children's story, and yet.....if I had the money to waste, I'd waste it. 

8. The Fossil Maddox drawstring handbag is $188.  I really like it.  I don't know why. I can't justify it.  But I think it's freakin' awesome, and I want it. 'Nuff said!

9. I want an antique secretary's desk like the one to the left.  I think they're beautiful.  Every single time I see one it literally takes my breath away and I think ohhh how I wish I could have one of those!  Some girls go gaga over jewelry.  I'd rather have this desk than that $34000 ring I posted above.  These antique desks are hard to find, and cheaper ones  usually run about $4000.00.  *sigh*

10. I WANT a vintage typewriter!  I really, really, really, really, really want one.  In fact, I think I NEED one.  Yep.  I need it.  I really do.  I have no idea where you'd even buy one or how much it would cost.  I'm pretty sure they're expensive.





Okay, so what ridiculous things do you want? Feel free to share!
