I just want what every design junkie wants – beautiful and beautifully made things and the wallet to get after them. I know the longing that’s a common thread, woven through our musings and the images on our blogs. It’s visceral for us. An instinctive reaction from our souls. It can’t be tamed. Even when our puny piggy banks prevent us from possessing that which we know is perfection, we thrift and we hoard and we hack. And when our man folk say “no more” and our spaces grow cluttered, we become creative with our stash. We find a way to get our fix. We are junkies. It’s what we do.
And if we can’t have our hearts’ desire, sometimes we just settle for
licking looking at pictures.
And sometimes they’re not even good quality.
