Your Strangest Impulse Buy?

[Shimmer Mist]

My strangest impulse buy was a Venus Flytrap years ago. It was on clearance at Lowes. It was itty-bitty and sickly. I thought I could bring it back from the brink of death but the plant was probably too far gone to begin with. >: I still feel bad about it, too.

A betta fish a few years ago. He lived for several months then died when I put him in a new tank. I did not expect to get a fish at all when I was at the store. Probably the most random buy for me.

Yesterday at the thrift store, I found a Square Egg Machine. (Egg Cuber.) I can't wait to try it out.

A bear skin rug. Which is in very bad shape. And I'm some sort of almost an animal activist, I certainly never would have wanted one otherwise. It sits in a ball in my closet and I have no plans to repair it or display it. I look at it and think "wtf was I thinking?" Trouble is, I don't think I can legally resell it!

I have no idea. I need to stop going on eBay in the middle of the night.

...For now, I'll say it's that huge spool of black satin ribbon. I have way more than I'll ever know what to do with. It's just kind of... there. Forever. I'll never use it all.

Thank you for reminding of my own. I once bought this purple floral fabric and a sewing pattern to make my own plush rabbit. I hadn't sewn anything since like a decade before I bought it, and even then I'd only sewn the projects required in school. The fabric and pattern have been in a drawer for like 6 years now.

Hah! That's quite a quandry. Honestly... I'd probably throw it away... though I have a friend who likes taxidermy, so I might try to just give it to her first. Do you know anyone with such interests?
