(no subject)

[xenith]

Looking over the Deepings Dolls* web site yesterday and I want that one and that one and definitely that one and it clarified a thought I'd been mulling over lately**. It goes something like, for most interests it's usually possible to collect related things, whether it's ornaments or pictures or things decorated with that theme or actual associated objects. Some subjects are better dealt with than others but that just makes finding things for the more obscure subjects more fun. But then there are other subjects for which there really isn't anything but books.

Does it matter?

I think it does, because when my brain is in a particular place, it likes to have things around it associated with that "place". Also, it means you can add it to your present wish list ;)

**I shan't tell you which figure made me think this though

Thanks for the plug!

I know what you mean about associative objects - I often use less tangible things like music or images, but there's something about a thematic *object* that is awfully satisfying.

Which is why it becomes so easy to buy gifts for people who have a tangible obsession, like ferrets, cats or 15th century history...
