When I find something that I love, I have to have it. All of it. If its a band...every album. A writer....every book. I bought myself a new bookshelf because my Tim Winton and James Herbert collections grew out of the old one. I work full time, am a mother of 2 boys, and run a small business in my (very limited) spare time... I dont have time to read. Yet whenever a Winton or Herbert novel is released it immediately goes onto my Christmas/Birthday wish-list. Which brings me to my new addiction-umm passion.... Sheika.

Gorgeous bags, over-sized clutches, mini clutches, made from exquisite leathers with quirky, unique linings, Sheika Designs is my latest obsession. It started innocently enough, a purple patent leather Veronica clutch. My mum bought it for me for my birthday. Then Sheika had a sale on her Facebook page. Then I had a 'Sheika Showing' and was able to view (and touch) a large range of the collection. Two of my sisters-in-law are also now hooked, and we have rigged this year's Kris Kringle so that we get each other. Guess what we're buying each other?? Yep, mini Hilda and Veronica clutches. My fiance has agreed to buy me a Frances Red Patent Croc handbag for Christmas, and as soon as my tax comes back I'm buying myself a Pale Purple Tote.

It's a simple, albeit expensive, pleasure, but it's an addiction I'm not willing to give up. Hey if it means I dont have money leftover for my cake addiction....it's a win-win!!! SP xox
