One of the main reasons I have for continuing to add to my collection of Lladro porcelain figurines is that I come from a long line of lovers of beauty, and I sincerely believe that the best investment you can make is an investment in things of beauty, because they really do bring joy forever.
Think of it this way: even the wisest investment in stocks and bonds can't flood your home with beauty, and I'd rather have a beautiful figurine, placed in just the perfect setting in my home, than have to look at a stock certificate any day.
That said, I also come from a long line of people who believe that being frugal was something to be admired. To this day, I have trouble being able to respect people who spend money indiscriminately.
Just think, when's the last time you heard a conversation where one person mentions something they bought at a certain price, and another interjects with 'one-up-man-ship' by admitting they paid twice that much for it.
With this blog, I hope to be able to help people find just the perfect, high-quality gift for those special occasions, as well as the perfect way to fulfill their own (and what I consider to be a normal human need) desires for the security of wise investment for treasure, as well as the treasure of true, high-quality and lasting beauty.
