I am buying house stuff, come to think of it. Since I'm here all the time and constantly see what needs doing, and Home Depot gave me a credit card.
Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.

I've been buying:
1) Tiny little handmade things on Etsy. These are cheap and fannish items such as this one inspired by Fleabag. [link]
2) ABE Books for Children's books that I grew up with like... [link]
3) Discogs to get 7" singles like... [link]

I've mostly been buying makeup (damn you MELT Cosmetics for directly targeting me!), vintage perfumes, and stickers from fan artists.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
A (few) new, or new-to-me tarot decks. Mid-cull and purge, mind you. (Is ashamed)

I've also been buying some original art from artists I know and sending it to friends for their birthdays. That seems like a double win supporting artists and gifting friends.

Because books.
I had to buy boring shirts for work, and two pairs of pants. Why she wants us in dark stuff in a fucking bakery is beyond me.
I've also binged on $1.99 Kindle deals. Like, a lot. But I did pick up some things for the house, and a new harness for the dog, which she Does Not Like At All.

Speaking of original art, Mr. Loomy is auctioning off what is probably his most iconic painting for M:tG. The auction starts Monday, and when it was announced to the FB group, people lost their damn minds.

Yeah, I have been getting the $1.99 kindle deals, too, and occasionally pricier books because damn it all I can do most days is read! I've been better about that this month than last month, but it was bad for a while.

That's very cool, Atropa!

I've also been getting audiobooks, because summer means an upswing in migraines.
