I find myself doing ...Oh, yes, the eternal dilemma. I find myself doing that too. There are things that I've simply always liked and not just because they're currently trendy. But then if they're trendy I don't want to appear to be doing them just because, and I'm annoyed at the glut of them to be found everywhere (especially by people who I self-importantly assume surely cannot appreciate them like I do, harumph!), yet I can't give them up. I say, keep on liking them, because soon enough they'll be "out" again and then you'll have them all to yourself again. ;)gretchen/juneatnoonhttp://www.juneatnoon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342389434943195539.post-51794916915425242642009-10-18T09:32:07.000+11:002009-10-18T09:32:07.000+11:00Ha, I know exactly what you mean.I try to be happy...Ha, I know exactly what you mean.<br>I try to be happy when a pet love of mine becomes "in" - I console myself with the knowledge there will be a wider variety of products/whatever available because of its popularity.<br>I wonder what causes these feelings of resenting when "our" stuff becomes popular? I don't think it's only rebellion. Hmm, now you've got me thinking.Skebbahttp://skebba.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342389434943195539.post-16763112912819176472009-10-20T07:42:00.000+11:002009-10-20T07:42:00.000+11:00Oh me too!

I think I have lost one over the years but they sit proudly on my bookcase, a little faded and cracked, but still good as ever. I sew them too because I like them, they are an easy shape I must admit, and I also think that everyone else is in on it too so its hard to be original. My little revenge on the fad is that I try as much to stick to the traditional, detailed look as much as possible, modeling them on the real dolls, and not going with the contempory, simplified styles. Enjoy them, make them in your own style and ignore the commercialisation if you can (I think the same thing is happening with kokeshi dolls too...)Carolinehttp://maikacreations.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342389434943195539.post-89993275312998813442009-10-20T23:46:06.000+11:002009-10-20T23:46:06.000+11:00I do this too!

I am totally bummed that Swallows are also the new thing, but I am now buying things and stocking up because the world will get over it and they'll be hard to find again :Dkimnoreply@blogger.com
