Granted Wishes

I often find myself sad that we don't have to income to update as often as I'd like given our financial constraints. As I love collecting cels and am always excited to add a new one to our collections. But, then on a day like today. I find myself pretty pleased by it. It means whether we like it or not we collect almost exclusively cels from our wishlist. Today we added 3 cels that have been on our wishlist for years. One of the for at least 6 years and it feels good to be able to add such beautiful and powerful images to our collection.

We've been very lucky in the last 2 years to be able to cross many of most wanted cels off our wishlist. (Including our most expensive purchase ever which unfortunately still hasn't arrived). And while we can only add these beauties every few months (unlike the every week or so we used to average new cels) I'll admit that some of my intial "impulse" buys ended up as some favorites. But, I'm starting to feel that limited buying may really be better in a lot of ways.

I guess when I'm really feeling is that the only way we can manage to focus the collection is by not having the fundage to leave it unfocused. And I'm appreciating that focus even though it's sort of being imposed on me.
