Back in September, I lost my mind. It was just for a moment, but it was a definite psychotic break. And it’s taken me until now to talk about it.
In my normal state, I don’t
- Shop online
- Make impulse purchases, especially not over $20
- Buy much decor
These aren’t formal rules. I’m just very frugal and tend to avoid purchases that I view as “frivolous.”
Well, in a moment of insanity, I whipped out my credit card and bought something that is the very definition of frivolous.
Behold my papier-maché goose head.
I first saw it on Lindsay’s blog, and it was pretty much love at first sight. Although, in all fairness, the goose wasn’t a complete impulse. I did think about this purchase for 24 hours before I finally pulled out my credit card and logged in to Etsy.
When the box came, I couldn’t even tell Matt what was in the package. And once I opened it, he still didn’t understand why I had to buy it (and Matt knows my history).
And I think it’s time you know this bit of my history too. Next week, I’ll share the story of Bill.

Hi Julia! I’m new to your site and am excited to catch up on your previous posts. I’m so curious to see what you do with this papier mache goose head — too funny!
Thanks for stopping by and for commenting!
Ha! I really need to know the story behind this one.
It’s coming!
Ahaha! I can’t wait to hear the rest of the story! I am like you, I do not buy impulse items online, so I can’t wait to hear the backstory!
Tune in next week.
I love buying online. It’s usually cheaper and when the package arrives, it’s like your birthday all over again!
That’s true. That’s how I justified this purchase. I bought it right around my birthday, so it was my present to myself!
Lol! Of all the things you could have impulsively bought, this papier-mache goose head is NOT what I was expecting!
I have to say I never expected I would own a papier-maché goose head either!
