I love words. I had a big vocabulary as a child, and I loved learning new words. I still like coming across a word I don't know, though it doesn't happen often any more. Or didn't, before the Internet. Everything's easier to find than it was before the internet. There have been whole websites devoted to underused words. Save the Words was my favorite. I was sad when it closed down.
Emacity is a great word. I know quite a few people who have this quality. Often, the emacitous are characterized as women, but the reality is men are just as vulnerable to a fondness for buying things. They may just buy different things.
I buy art supplies. And beautiful paper. What is your emacitous weakness?
The finder of this postcard writes:
Found! Inside a Nutcracker book at the San Francisco Main Library. Dec 2017
Thank you, kind finder! And what serendipity, that a postcard lost in September of 2016 was found in a Nutcracker book and returned to me at Christmastime, 2017!
