Day 260 will have another round

There was a flea market today at a local Quaker meetinghouse. It happens twice a year and is my absolute favorite flea market. As you've probably gathered from previous posts, I like weird and old things. When I saw this quirky little item I could barely contain my excitement. The handle on the upper right corner rings the "bar bell" "for another round." After looking closer, I noticed the wooden bottle on the upper left corner can be removed and used as a bottle opener. It's one of my more recent favorite finds. Now I feel inspired to set up an adorable bar area. Or at least have a beer.

Day 253, meet Mayor McCheese

Well ladies and gentlemen, it's flea market time again! I've begun to acquire lots of weird glassware, primarily cups. I was thrilled to find this wonderful Mayor McCheese one for $1. It goes well with the ones I have from McVote '86 and The Great Muppet Caper. The stranger the better!

Day 252 is resilient

While putting some envelopes in the mailbox after work, I saw this sad old book on top of the UPS drop off box. I actually noticed this book a few weeks back, when it was in better condition. Apparently no one wanted to take it home. This resilient little book has weathered a hurricane and massive flooding. I want to track it's progress to see if it makes it to and through the winter. You can do it, old book!

Day 235 loves a good (old) book

The Bucks County Library, Yardley branch, had a book sale today. I love old things, especially old books. I can't say no to cheap old classics. I'm slightly embarassed to say I've never read Franny and Zooey or 1984. So, they're now added to my ever-growing list. Let's be honest, I'm probably not going to read that Hardy Boys book - but it's going to look good on my book shelf.

Day 212 is disconnected.

It was around the end of Day 3 in Canada that I started to have serious internet withdrawals. Like... serious. I kept checking for wifi in places I just knew had no wifi whatsoever. We stayed at cabin right by the water that had this for a phone so the chances of having internet were completely laughable. Oh and... AND.... VHS. ??!?! What??! We put a movie in one night and it hadn't been rewound. So we had to rewind it. 10 minutes of my life was spent sitting, waiting for a Vhs to rewind. Can you even imagine??? Oh, Canada.

Day 55 is feeling old

I'm getting old you guys!! Okay, perhaps that is a bit dramatic, but i've reached a quarter-life age and shit is getting real now. I think. Maybe that's just something I read somewhere cause I feel pretty much the same as I did yesterday. Except tonight I did have a fancy dinner with my sister to celebrate my old age. We ended the night with some espresso/hazelnut gelato and tiramisu. It was a party in my mouth. Birthday part aside, I could go for these kinds of meals on the regular. Yumm!

ps. thanks for alllll the birthday love friends and readers near and far! You really know how to make a birthday girl feel loved. :)
