Every now and then, I come across something that gives me more pleasure than any material object should.
My pink mittens, for instance, make me absolutely gleeful. Same goes for a glass jar of bubble bath or my pearl-topped ink pen. I can’t really put my finger on what exactly makes something go from functional to favored, but every so often, something just…fits.
This is my new object of desire–a cupcake-shaped trinket box I’ve had my eye on at our local florist for a number of months. When I returned some vases today, I saw that it was one of two left from the set of eight. A sign, right?
Now it’s perched on my windowsill. It’s pretty, but relatively pointless. And yet, I couldn’t be happier.
What’s the latest object of your affection?
