Yes, I'll admit it.
I'm a sucker.
Heck, I'm downright predictable when it comes to certain delights.
Like this darling teacup... with a bird on it?!
Sold.
Sure it holds like an ounce of tea (and I tend to enjoy a good litre at time) but it has a bird on it, friends.. a bird!
Yes, predictable me.
If you know me at all by now, you probably know a few other weaknesses of mine too.
Anything to do with owls, mushrooms, tree or feather motifs... I'm in!
Incorporate some wood grain, turquoise, lace or doilies... I'm delighted!
Follow up with a chunk of chocolate... I'm drooling!
This is what kills me when I go in a place like Chapters Indigo and they're selling every element that makes me go weak in the knees.
For someone who 'prides' them self on being a sort of unique individual it's scary to see how pigeon-holed I am by corporations... ha! Shoot.
This is a major reason I don't like to go shopping.
I know I'll see something that just craves adoption... and despite the moths taking up residence in my wallet... I'll justify to the death my need for said object.
The only things that keeps my splurge-impulse in check:
+budget
+ my ben
...I won't ever purchase anything that seems wasteful/extravagant (this 'tweet' mug was on sale for $1.49.. easy to justify buying that one)!
...I also won't buy stuff that I know will make Ben cringe and say "where are we going to cram that into our house?". You may recall his hilarious rant about these issues.
Oh, the joys of a hoarder creative collector marrying a minimalist!
All that to say, I know stuff is just stuff...
...and 'he who has the most toys wins still dies without them'.
My joy isn't rooted in possessions.
But these small and simple pleasures are a delight nonetheless!
How about you? What gets you weak in the knees?
