This happens to me more than I'd care to admit. I thought I'd be clever and label it "Snowballing" (cause it's so catchy - right?), but then the little voice inside my head said, "I think that might mean something else... something not so PG." So I googled it (something I advise you against), remembered it being referenced in Clerks, and promptly decided to go back to what I used to call it - "Wasting Time."
Anyway, it all started with this picture on Pinterest:
Santa Fe Removable Throw Pillow Cover - $38 |
Dish Towel Set of Three - $36 |
I haven't perused Etsy lately, so I had the joy of rediscovering my favorites list - which is usually a nice mix of cool stuff, sold out stuff, and complete head scratchers ("Why would I have wanted that?") I like saving art I like to my favorites and then revisiting later to see if I still like it. I think this helps me from impulse buying art that simply appealed to my mood that day, versus art that truly appeals to me all the time.
Abstractions Aside - $28 |
Antelope Antlers Photograph - $15 |
So that's a couple of things I'm coveting lately. Any gems on your list?
Good idea - I should do that - adding the pics to my favorites and checking later. Good control point.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's not a limited edition that might sell out, I think it's a good technique. I get wrapped up in what I think are "cool" ideas (a whole wall of cartoon portraits featuring girls and animals) and then later come to my senses. Thanks for reading!
