some of my favorite things: 19th century horses, houses, and dentistry

most of you who know me at all know i have a terrible addiction to eBay. it's so bad that i had to swear off it years ago and have not permit myself to even browse. i don't even mean this in a comical fashion. i literally have a real and actual problem with spending money on eBay.

and today i visited. and i searched. and i piled things high on my "watch" list. and it is a terrifying thing. because watching leads to bidding and bidding leads to buying.

but, see, i really need a 19th century horse "cyclopedia". i've been needing one for years. and there's one coming up in the next week that looks like exactly what i need. see?

and i want this one too.

and this one.

and maybe this one.

and this has nothing to do with horses, but i'm pretty sure i need it too.

and even though it's not exactly right, i wouldn't mind having this dental journal if only because dentistry materials are hard to come by and so freakin' expensive and this one seems reasonably priced (so far).

see what happens?

i haven't bid on anything yet. but i will. and these books may look cheap now, but those prices are going to rocket, i'll bet, unless they somehow fall under the radar.

we can only wait and see.

and then bid bid bid like there's no tomorrow.

this is like crack. someone call for an intervention.
