Giving in to the tiger

Apparently the oh-too-common Tiger Cowrie has done it - I have been tempted to buy it, finally. It was probably one of those urges when I was holidaying in a beautiful place like Bali and everything I saw in the shops looked nice. Well, I bought that, a clamshell, and a sea urchin shell ;)

Bali has also tempted me to buy a woven basket-like bag, which may have fueled my recent liking for all things basketry. It must have really made an impression (which I hope is a good one) since it turned heads in the airport; a Chinese lady who doesn't speak English even asked her grandson to inquire about the price, hehe!

A tiger cowrie, a sea urchin shell, a clamshell, and all things basketry. I like!

Evidently the last few weeks have seen money flowing out of my wallet like water, thanks to my friend's wedding reception in Bali (not complaining though), moving to the capital, and the current nationwide Megasale. Just when I thought I should save some money, something always comes along and ruins it! Typical me...
