Knick-Knacks Anonymous

“Wel­come to Knick-Knacks Anonym­ous. Who’s going to volun­teer to intro­duce them­selves first?”

Hello, my name’s Vaughan, and I’m hope­lessly addicted to buy­ing unne­ces­sary house­hold knick-knacks and accessories.

Oh, you know the sort of thing: those orna­mental thing­ummy­bobs that look nice but serve no earthly pur­pose; vases and/or con­tain­ers in an inter­est­ing range of shapes and sizes; and candles, lots and lots of candles and candle hold­ers. My local branch of Cargo HomeShop will be the death of me — but, um, it’s just that everything is so reas­on­ably priced and so instantly appeal­ing to my des­per­ate retail ther­apy urges.

It’s not my fault. I’m power­less to res­ist. Some­body stop me. Please. Because I really don’t need any more candles.
