What is the one thing you splurge on?

Splurge? What else but pie.

Pie is pie, always has been, always will be.

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

Drum carder? Fiber mill?

I bought a used drum carder last week

Chocolate and vanilla here too. 😍

African Violets are my least SS hobby/splurge. Fussy little plants require artificial lights, special soil, water treatment, and temperature control. But i love them! 😍

Another splurge is zero waste hygiene products. They are expensive and I can make do without just fine - it just takes more time and energy. I paid $36 for three unscented plastic-free deoderant tubes 🤦‍♀️

Is Lume deoderant for DS14 a want or a need? 🤔 His feet and shoes smelled horrific until Lume. So. Much. Better. I'm dreading when he runs out - his bundle was $75. 😲

Flowers, pets, cereal, toad houses, computers, fragrance oils, updating the house, and coffee.

Ohh wool, and fiber tools (I may buy a third spinning wheel soon. Oops? 😬🤣

I'm so jealous! I decided to not get a drum carder because there was a local fiber mill. It closed. I haven't played with wool since. I can't justify the price of a new drum carder! How much did you pay used?

Brahmas. And jerseys. One of our jerseys is from Wisconsin. All of our Brahmas are from out of state show quality breeders. And baby stuff. I will pay more for cotton baby clothes that aren’t and can’t be grown here. That’s another thing. Cotton!

Chickens. Show quality silkies aren't cheap when you need to add new blood. The fluffy little demons need constant rain shelter in my climate and straw or wood chips on the ground in their runs.

Uggh, same here. I bought "show quality" chicks and didnt know enough to count their toes. Thanks to @Cecilia's-life teaching me some basics, I will be Silkie shopping in spring. Chicken math 🤷‍♀️

Haha you’re welcome! I love birds so it’s no big deal.
