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.

Bowling Pin Animals To Spare

I did add this bowling pin stork family to my stork collection... It was just $3.50.



But this deer made of small bowling pins (and on wheels -- so my mother-in-law would have loved him!) had to stay behind due to the $40 price tag. :sigh:

Mamma's Squeeze-Box Ends Up At Thrift Shoppe

Not my momma's, but somebody's momma's squeeze-box ended up at the thrift store. And if you don't want me talkin' 'bout your momma's squeeze-box, don't let it end up in a public place. Jeeze.

Enstrom In Stereo

The picture is Grace, by Eric Enstrom, set side-by-side at a thrift shop. It almost looks like if you were to cross your eyes and look at them it'd be 3D like some stereoscope:


Dude, that's trippy. I think I even saw the sailboat.
