 My collection of "Yes, I am going to dress like a vampire took inspiration from Baba Yaga" shawls has grown. They have their own drawer now.

• The original wool one black w/ pink and ivory roses and vines.
• The black cashmere pashmina.
• The vintage black/rose/turquoise cashmere pashmina that a follower on Twitter sent me.
• The black burnout silk velvet shawl that the Infamous BlueJay pulled out of a box and handed to me.
• The pink/red/ivory floral wool/silk shawl.
• And now, the eggplant mohair Orenburg knitted lace shawl. 

These and beading supplies are what I'm impulse buying nowadays. There could be worse things.

beading supplis are shockingly easy to impulse buy

If you'd like to try painting or dyeing your own velvet or satin burnout shawl, I know where to get stuff and find good tutorials...

SO many worse things! Sounds like you are buying beautiful things - shawls and beads both. I see no reason to take issue with your hobby.

OMG Headlands and Feeling Spicy. Those are so pretty!

Next questions: Do you need it to be machine washable or is a gentle hand wash/dry flat okay? And I can't recall, what's your stance on animal fibers? Lastly, beads or no beads?

[cupcake_goth]

Gentle hand wash is fine, I love animal fibers, and beads are ooooh pretty!

[ouranophobe]

Okay!
