When is it too much??

    Hello vintage lovers!!  I love thrifting, as I am sure you can tell... But sometimes I do wonder, when is it too much? I love the thrill of the hunt and finding things at great prices. It is always an adrenaline rush to find that item you have been wanting for so long but lately I have been finding that I buy just to say I have it. Which is not ok, if you don't have the space to display all of your finds and they are just left in a box is it really worth it then?
     Don't get me wrong the reason I buy the items I do is because when I look at them I love them and it brings me joy. Just wish I had somewhere to display all my goodies but at this time it is not possible. I also would enjoy reselling some items too but my local antique mall has shut down, and the shipping of breakable items thing scares me.
     I keep saying that I need to be more selective with what I buy and I will say that has been happening here lately. There is always that one item you get cause it is desirable and people want it, so you should want it right? I think there is a word for that but forgot what it is. In a perfect world I could keep what I love and sell what I think is neat but doesn't have a place with me.
     Also I need to stay away from thrift stores and goodwills, it is getting to be the end of yard sale season which is good and bad. It is good cause I need to get away from the temptation but also bad cause I do love it so much. Guess only time will tell if it is too much, all I can do it try to scale it back and see where it goes. All I know is it gives me joy and I may be living in a house made of card board boxes......
