I worry for the person who donates something crappy and thinks:
"Oh yes...this item will be perfect for someone else. I hate it, but someone else? LOVE!"
I also worry for the person who buys said items (aka crap)
"Oh yes.....this item would be perfect for me. I have been searching my who life for THIS!!"
Mostly, I am concerned I might be one of the people in the afore mentioned categories.
Yesterday, I decided to photograph some of the most appealing things in the "home accessory" section.
Please enjoy:
 |
| Ok. I am obviously NOT a mother. But I am mystified by the Geddes phenomenon. Why do I want to hang a photo of other peoples' babies in my home? I know art is subjective, but WHY? And why are they dressed as purple pansies? Am I the only one that finds this creepy? |
 |
| Furthermore. What happens when these two babies grow into adults? Is this photo a source of great pride for them? Or has it been a life akin to the child actor? Do they turn into drug addled adults who dress in flowers? Am I the only one who thinks even the children here look to be judging Anne Geddes? |

| (re-enactment of an actual conversation at V.V.) Rob: Hmmm....you know I have been looking for something to cheer up our living room. Husband: You mean like a spider plant? Or a crochet owl? Or a photos from our wedding day? Rob: No, I was thinking of something more sinister, and under ten dollars. Husband: I love it! But I sure wish it had a companion piece to hang with it........ |
 |
| The worst part of this beautiful artwork? The name: Unconditional Love (I am not even kidding) |
 |
| I love my sister. I cherish every moment, and each token of your affection. Oh, except that crappy-ass poem you wrote and framed for me. |
 |
| Dear Tina. Although SHE maybe your favourite sister.......you have not ranked that high on her list. Sorry. BUT you are totally worth buying at $6.99! |
Great finds at the Double V!
Now to find the wall space for all this new art.
Comments??
