Heck yes!!! Remember, it is still cheaper than therapy.
I have boys and when I visited my youngest son recently I realized he has the same addiction except his is tools. I tried to walk into his garage and told him it reminded me of my sewing room. It is hard to walk into either one. We are not good at organization.

Remember? You can't die until all your fabric is gone! What is the girl thinking? Loved your post.

My DH use to ask if I was opening my own JoAnn's franchise LOL He always gave me the fabric sale messages from my MIL and he even would help pick out fabrics. He just could not understand WHY one female needed 'hundreds of pairs of shoes'--- I DID NOT have that many single shoes let alone pairs. I will admit I do have a shoe fetish but I come by it honestly, I inherited from my Gramma. And apparently it skips a generation. My Mom had 3 prs of dress shoes-my son had 1pr of tennis shoes and 1 pr of winter boots and his daughter has a shoe closet and it is more organized then my fabric closet.

LOL, no one gets a vote but YOU!

I have a few different colored shoes-----------but that's it. White, bronze, gold, red, navy, brown & black. Oh, some beige, too. If I didn't have to wear shoes, the list would be a lot shorter.

There's an unspoken rule at my house, if DH goes golfing, wifey is free to shop.

I say "Heck Yes".
