Want vs Need?

Sometimes I see something and I really wonder what makes me have to have it, why? After all, I don't "need" it, but something inside of me really "wants" it! I know that when I saw the "204" painted on both ends of this tote, that was part of the appeal. That number is the address of my building, Country Roads. I know part of the appeal was the old rusty metal brads that hold this tote together, and the really cool rusty metal pieces on all four ends of the tote. If you are really into "junk" you will know what I mean! Even the interior has a great worn look to it. And the wooden handle has a soft spot on the top of it where its all worn down from all the times its been carried. I'm still not even sure where I'll put it or what I'll use it for. Right now its peacefully sitting on an old vintage childs church pew on top of my fireplace. I'm sure it will find its perfect spot in my home soon. To me, that "want vs need" thing is a big part of this business, and I know I'm not alone when I say that!
