Where did this come from? And why?
Cross my heart, we did not buy this! So why is it in the house?
Well, b/c the mater was attempting to corner the VA market in brass candlesticks. After negotiating $10 for 14 of them, she saw more in a basket. It was near the end of the day, so the gal said, “Give me a dollar, and take the whole thing.”
So, after having spent a good 10 hrs stopping at one sale after another, eating weird Chinese food at a mall, and sundaes @ a frozen kustard stand, we unpacked, and the little hussy had included all kinds of weird, unsalable things in the basket. Of which Ms Chicken is prime exhibit #1. Do you want to hear about the chipped statuette of a person of unresolved gender preference? Or perhaps the bookend depicting equine/canine inappropriate behavior?
What I’d like to know is:
- Who came up with these ideas?
- Who bought them in the first place?
- How the heck do we get rid of them?
At any rate, we did get a whole lot of good stuff. Brass candlesticks, natch. A parisian dress pour moi. Several books we hadn’t read. Lots of canisters for all the bizarre non-flour flour substitiutes the gluten-intolerant require.
And three copies of a CD by an obsure Bluegrass band. WTF?
Next stop, Rio Mall… but first a quick trip to the dump, in the dead of night.
I’ve decided that on Fridays, I’ll just post fun stuff. Usually things that don’t go anywhere else. Time to lighten up for the wkend.
