Boat vs. Frank Gehry Bracelet

If you had a choice would you spend your money on a Frank Gehry Bracelet from Tiffany's or a kayak? Many women would say the bracelet. Why ask this?In the Sunday New York Times, there was an ad for Tiffany's jewelry. One of the less expensive items was a bracelet which costs the same as my kayak. Who are these women that are spending this amount on a bracelet. Even if they're wealthy, what does it say about their priorities in life to spend this amount on a trinket?

Technically, I bought my boat on sale, so one Frank Gehry bracelet costs hundreds more than my boat. What can you do with a $1,500 piece of jewelry? What can you do with a kayak?

Here are pics we saw on our paddle:

the Cape Race ship from Newfoundland and lastly, my husband, Robert, who took all the pics today.


Now, if we were talking about whether to spend $1,500 on yarn, there would be no questions. Everyone would shout a resounding "Yes." It is very sensible to spend any amount on your stash. Do I hear any arguments? In fact I don't think American Express expects you to pay off any debt acrewed from yarn purchases. They are gratis. At least I hope so.
