Boo! Things I have bought during my "spending hiatus":

 

COFFEE on occasion, though I have bent the rules to account for this.

CAKE PANS to bake a gift cake.

CAKE STAND for the cake 

NYLON HIKING SHORTS  

While I do not feel like a complete success, I do consider this venture a really positive exercise, and plan to repeat it more than once a year.  The baking tools were something I needed for future baking, and the shorts ended up being just about 50% off during the annual REI member sale.  I wore them out the store and all weekend long in Joshua Tree.  

I do have a list of things I plan to buy this weekend, after my hiatus is over this Thursday (April 1st).

a WHITE PENCIL SKIRT to wear with the top of my wedding dress for our wedding party in Paris in May

a HIGH-WAISTED bikini
