What I saw in KC.

1) While sitting outside an estate sale, I saw an little old couple (mid-60s). The woman was wearing a hot pink velour jacket and pants. She had a leaf blower and was making her way back and forth across the lawn. The man had on a pair of headphones. He was getting a lawn chair out of the garage. He set it up in the driveway and just watched her blow leaves.

2) It was around 10:30 at night. We were driving through a shopping plaza and a boy of about 8 started running on a route that would've gone in front of our car. However, he stopped short at a little island with a tree. As we're driving by, he simply whips it out and starts peeing. We both turn around and see the arched stream and his father standing outside the car about 12 feet away.

3) A friend took me to River Market Antique Mall. As soon as we walked in, I said, "Whenever you need to leave, you can leave me in here." I spent about 2.5 hours walking every booth on all 4 floors. I was really overwhelmed and tried to make wise purchases. The items below I didn't buy, perhaps I'll create a post of my purchases later after they've found their places in our house.

- This was the first thing that caught my eye. I really like old concrete animals yesterday. I almost bought a pink lion at an estate sale, but I thought he was a little expensive. I love that the ears of this little donkey have been knocked away and the metal frame is exposed. It's very sci-fi.


I'd put this lamp in my cabin. And yeah, I picked up that vase in the back. I thought it would've been a great trashcan, but it was too expensive.

This isn't a good picture of it, but this is a corner shelf with a deer on each side.

I love geometric stuff right now. I took a picture of this because I liked the bright colors and wondered if I could do something similar, but with someone's name.

Hands!

Horse lamp. There were two of them. They'd look badass painted white or black with red eyes. :)

What if Saddam Hussein weren't really dead. What if he was trapped in this lamp.

I like cats.

My BFF loves owls. I did not buy this owl for him though.

Growing up, my aunt was an "Avon lady." I love vintage Avon jewelry and next time I wear some, I think I'll say to myself, "I'm ready for an Avon day."

Are these bookends? I'd put them in a baby's room.

This was a brass towel rack. Match steer on the other end. Love.

I'm going to keep an eye out for one of these at a reasonable price.

I wish I had these bunnies. They remind me of laughing donkeys.

I picked this up. And then set it carefully back down.

I took this picture for the lamp, but now I wish I'd noticed that awesome trash can.

I've shown this to several people and every one of them said, "Tell me you bought this."

Teeth.

Creepy ass lamp. Probably also great for a baby's room.

I'm looking for a Miss Piggy glass for a friend. This was all I found though.

I'd say my boyfriend is probably happy this didn't come home with me.

  1. I just had a love attack. If you go back will you pick up the deer shelves? You know I'm good for it.

    Have you seen the London Olympic graphic? Apparently it's pissing people off: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/10/All_London_2012_logos.svg/600px-All_London_2012_logos.svg.png

    Hands. Teeth. More teeth. Gotta see KC.
