Putting breaks on personal shopping until July!

May 17th, 2012 at 10:51 pm

Since we are going to Asia, I would like to save money to be able to buy something really nice there.

1. We'll be in Japan, so I will make a day trip from Kyoto to Toba and visit Mikkimoto Pearl Island and buy some definitely authentic, high-quality Japanese pearl jewelry directly from the sourse (with substancial savings). Also seems a great opportunity to pick up nice gifts for mom and mother in law.

2. I want a nice piece of asian art for our apartment, and want to have some money allocated for this in case I happen to see one.

3. My skinny husband can pick up some good quality clothig at a nice price while there. He has trouble with clothing in the US, as anything with his neck size tends to be made for someone 40 pounds heavier.

I like unique/unusual things, and when there is a place and memory attached to them, even better. Plus, there is an allure to having something that is not sold where you are.

    Sounds like a great plan. I've always wanted to buy a really nice piece of original art. Someday!

    Getting some original artwork from a place is one of the best mementos possible, in my opinion, because it leads to a special memory of a place that you may or may not visit again. I hope that your trip is wonderful, it sounds like you have everything planned out well in advance, which offers some insurance of not breaking the bank at the same time. Enjoy!
