You Can't Dust M&Ms
I had to buy this retro turquoise glass snack dish -- I mean, come on -- it's fab-u-lous! As the rooster says, "It's something to crow about!" (The photos don't do the turquoise color justice.)   At $2, it was a thrift shop steal. But then, being 9.5 inches tall, and having a mouth diameter of 4.5 inches (much narrower than the base), it would cost, what, $45 to fill it with peanut butter M&M's? Plus there's the additional cost of "a lifetime on the hips" -- because you cannot dust off M&M's, you have to eat them.

Proof That The 1950's Were Nutty
Where else but eBay would you find this classic New Look sundress -- with a nutty print.   The seller says: UNBELIEVABLY FABULOUS photo print of NUTS...shelled, and unshelled WALNUTS, and it looks like some shelled almonds are in there too, the 'photo' is black and white, which has been hand-colored in tan, sepia, green and gold with grey 'shadows'....LOVE IT!!!

High-Five Friday, February 6, 2009
High Fives go to... 1 Thanks, Cheetah Velour, for showing us damn funny books at the thrift shoppe. 2 We made the 100th edition of Make it from Scratch. Want to know what for? Well, go see it -- or must I do everything for you? 3 You really should go Jump with Joey. 4 Got tee shirts you want to sell, but they hold so many memories...? At re-shirt.net you list the shirts to sell -- but the stories live on forever. 5 I was going to post this KKK stunt here, but Deuce of Clubs has spared me all that typing.
