Matching tins!
Bought years apart. Small tin from a Toronto (I think, or Halifax?) Value Village at least five years ago. Big tin last summer at a gas station in New Brunswick for $3! In their back room they had vintage items for sale.


If you look closely: in Brokeback Mountain after the two guys reunite and the wife watches them make out through the window, there is a scene in the front hallway of the apartment. On the shelves in the background—one of these tins!! Exactly the same.
Famous.
I keep colored pencils in them.

Found in a "free" box.


Maybe I could peddle these on the street, like deaf people peddle sign language cards?

Interesting
We have a piece of yarn on our counter that looks just like a piece of spaghetti.

It fooled our houseguest, Bree, and it fooled me.
Not Greg, or so he claims.

Guess how much?

I'm just about to take it to the bank.
I guess . . . thirty dollars. Greg says sixty!
UPDATE: No wait, I change my guess to twenty dollars!

Another house in the desert!
I must have one of these dwellings; a double-wide for me and Greg.

Stove-n-sink to die for!

Windowsill flora update
Christmas cactus is doing well.

Bulb . . . not so much.

I think it's a dud.
UPDATE: Beth says, put it in dirt.

New styles: shopping bag
No, not a canvas tote bag. Not a Tyvek or nylon tote bag either. Nor a carefully preserved paper bag from a fancy store: I'm talking about the plastic kind, from Met Foods!

Grab one from under the counter. Stick your stuff in it. There you go!
I think it's a good look. And it's free. Own it!

More Mom
My mom transported the skate egg cases in this bag:

Bulk Barn! Le plus important détaillant d'aliments en vrac Canada! From the Real Atlantic Superstore mall on Portland Street in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia!
I ain't seen one of these in a long, long time.

Thanks Mom!
In addition to the camping kettle, butter, and bowl, she brought us this array of specimens from the Jersey Shore.

We think there are mini (fetal?) sharks—or skates?—inside!
Kinda gross, kinda cool.
