Very occasionally, when that happens to me, and if the item is affordable, I buy it.
Call it impulse buying (or weakness) but it is what it is.
If an object of my affection makes me smile when I glance in its direction, it is worth the cost.
Such was the case of the pink glass "perfume" bottle.
Now I'd never use it for perfume storage.
I just liked it and put it on a windowsill upstairs.
The window looks into my home office.
It's at the top of the stairs in a place one would never expect to see a window.
Guess I'll never really know why that window was placed there.
DOES EVERYTHING YOU, PERSONALLY, BUY HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIFIC PURPOSE?
Not at all. I bought a woven piece that had the colors of Heather and reminded me of our trip to Scotland...just because I loved it! That can just be the reason, my friend, XOXO
ReplyDeleteHmmm - I have bought things I like when I see them. I go to the one Christmas Shop and found if you don't buy it when you see it - it will not be there when you come back.
ReplyDeleteI like your rose perfume vase.
I also loved to see your office - where you are when you work.
Lovely,

I buy lots of things that have a purpose, but I think it is so important to have beauty in your home and things that just make you happy to look at them. Art, pottery, books, glass ware. I bought a little jar with a bird lid the other day for $3 because it is just so cute and springy!!
ReplyDeleteYes I'm a Capricorn and a very practical person. I only shop for things I need and everything I buy has to have a purpose. I'm not an impulse shopper at all. As a matter of fact I hate to shop period.Hope you get your March header on soon Susan.
ReplyDeleteThe Pink perfume bottle is unique and pretty, Susan. And your window upstairs is charming. I usually buy things that are one-of-a-kind or make me smile, just as this item did you. I think that's the best way to purchase something....if it makes us happy.

Oh how pretty! I can see why you liked it. No, not everything has to have a purpose but it does have to have a place in my home. I do not like excess clutter so I have to have a definite place in my head for the item. :) Kit
ReplyDelete.. That is a beautiful bottle you bought Susan.....
ReplyDeleteI think buying something because it makes you smile is the best reason to get it....
