October 23rd. Deux Fleur.

This week at the 'ol Village, I found two items. There is some common ground between them and I thought that they were very cool.

The first is actually one I had been looking at for a while.




This second item I came across today, and I have to say that I am very impressed with this portfolio. It is in great shape, and my Quebecois friends here tell me that it is very nice.




The first cost me a $1.99 and the second was $3.99. That's some cheap shit right there. Are they baubles, though? Sure.

Rock on.

October 16th. Canvas.

This bauble really made me laugh. It made me laugh at all the stress and all the craziness that can happen when I sit down to do something. I can have tens of to-dos go through my head at any time in the day, but when I sit down to write a list...they're all gone.





Price of this gem? $10. Initially, anyway. When "they" saw that the canvas was missing, it got written down to $3. I do not think I would have purchased this if the craftsman actually had something to paint on.

October 10th. March of the Pigs.

It took me a while to look over the shelves at Value Village today. I almost picked up a bowling trophy for a ladies league.

However, these three pigs spoke out to me. I used to listen to Nine Inch Nails quite a bit, and I could not help but pick these three up. They're too...cute.

October 3rd. Hockey.

Here is a picture of my first bauble. Price? $2.99





Stonewall is a hockey town, and it was just starting up at the beginning of October. That might have been a large influence in getting this.

Not only do I like hockey, but these two fellows remind me of a few things. First, they look French to me. I am not exactly sure why. Even considering that, they remind me of my buddies Sky and Ben. Sky on the left in the blue jersey - he looks like he knows what he's doing, and Sky always seemed to know that when he played floor hockey. And Ben on the right in the white jersey - hmm, mainly because he's taller and a little goofier looking. It might also have something to do with the night we watched an Ottawa game while drinking some quite-fine Tequila.

The Idea

Here in Stonewall, one has to find sanity. I have found it in baubles! Every week, I go to Value Village and find something worthy of my shelves. Some for a reason, some for not. SO take a look, and if you see something in these baubles, let me know.

Are these things worth the money I spend on them?

Maybe.


Cheers.
