Unusual things you find in the garden...
Comments (18)Ah yes, the green plastic army guys! I think we all have those, lol! The far back area of my yard, a patch of woods, must have been used for dumping by either the previous owners and/or others in the area. I've found an alarming amount of junk, including bits of ceramic tile (actually, whole tiles, not just bits on this one), dishes, building materials, little toys, etc. The most interesting thing I've found is a football helmet - yes a football helmet! It looked rather old in style, and had the name "Dale Cargill" on the side. I've found that he was a professional player but on a small scale, and perhaps a college player (can't remember the research off the top of my head). I thought I was onto a valuable collectible, but seems no one ever heard of the guy so it's just a piece of yard junk at this point. Fun thread! :) Dee...See MoreI can't find a Thing.....
Comments (6)I have pictures under the topic "Flamey...I found my Camera". She made this cute little purse to put Sweeta, Water Flavors and Coffee Flavors. I'm gonna put my Tic-Tacs in it too! I found the Camera, Main Man came in from his morning walk and told me where he saw it last. Now....where is the DVD Player. I thought it was in Main Man's closet, but I'm afraid something will hit me in the head if I look for it. His closet is stacked to the ceiling. To much STUFF!

Comments (32)may_flowers and sprtphntc - I seldom buy either. I have been buying and looking at a few things lately. Both my mother and my MIL downsized this year and I got a few small pottery pieces from each of them. I wanted to display them but none of them really went together and so I was looking for other pieces to set them off so I was prowling consignment stores and antique stores. So much of it was pretty but not suitable, but when a piece "spoke" to me and I thought "yes, you will set off and add to my enjoyment of my great-grandmothers water pitcher", that's when I bought something. palimpset - exactly. I agree with you. I too prowl real estate listings (used to frighten my DH) but I don't want a new house. Appreciating things does not mean having to own them. mudhouse - oh I really like that imagery of "stocking the visual library in our minds". I'm going to use that line on my DH the next time a situation arises. Then watch him try to figure what I'm saying - he won't get it, poor guy. romy718 - Perhaps like your daughter, I just want to convey my joy in seeing something that I think is, for me, pretty. I don't expect the person that I'm with to agree with me because I do know that we all have different tastes and different definitions as to what is visually pleasing. I guess I just want them to see my joy in seeing something that I find to be pretty and I want to share that - not to buy but just to stop, take a minute and enjoy looking.. Oh, and to be clear that doesn't actually happen all that often. And kevinmark - you're right ,not every gorgeous accessory is meant to buy. I suspect that if one did that the joy of owning pretty things that one found joy in would somehow be diminished over time. For me anyway....See MoreYou can find the darnedest things on Amazon...
Comments (23)I've been more of an Amazon 'head scratcher' than an 'lol' recently. A few weeks ago I had a dishwasher, a pair of a favorite cotton house pant, (not a thick sweat pant with a tight ankle). A body butter, Korean chili flake, a crab pot for our upcoming vaca. AAA batteries, A dozen light bulbs...all in my cart and ordered at the same time on a Sunday. Then did our first Amazon WholeFoods....that came in 2 hours. (?!) A distribution center rather than a store shopper we realized. Much fresher produce than all that traveling and stocking shelves in a grocery. I've been getting some silly free gadgets with some items for some reason. A very handy favorite baby salad spinner for herbs and micro greens that fits easily in the fridge...came with an avocado slicer and a tiny keychain light. I would never buy an avocado slicer but have used it often. (I have 8-9 now ripe at the same time I need to freeze)....See Morerob333 (zone 7b)
