my idea of a proper junk shop: piles of stuff to sort through, lots of dust, and hidden treasures.

Check out the fine print. Who knew the royal family had such strong feelings about soap?

Fairy soap & leather lotion

fairy soap and leather lotion

When I visited Kaitlin in London I noticed her dish soap and hand lotion. I guess having leather-like skin can be a good thing.

in the parking lot of Trader Joe’s. I actually watched the guy get out of his car. Don’t know why I didn’t ask him about the nursery rhymes on the side of his Honda.

Fish, chips, and mushy peas. Kaitlin ordered this at a pub in London, and the peas tasted much better than they looked.

boll weevil

Friendly cartoon face, but who wants to think of a creepy bug when they’re eating dinner? Wiki offers a reasonable explanation, but it’s still a bit icky for me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boll_Weevil_(restaurant)

A week before I saw this house, I saw an M & M display like this in a store and thought it would be cool to use in a kid’s room or office. : )

toilet paper cover

gotta love the crocheted toilet paper cover. this is on the back of a toilet at a small church. I also liked the version where there was a barbie standing in the middle of the tp, and it looked like she had on a hoop dress.

Saw this in a junk shop near my parents house, the ‘punctuation’ made me laugh. Plus it reminds me of good old Ming the Merciless…

At the end of some on-ramps to the freeway you’ll see these signals, I guess it helps with traffic flow. But the LIME caught my eye. Another unsolved mystery.

More from the land of giant food. Kinda hard to tell, but this pizza was so big it required two people to carry it.

I was packing, noticed those dots of light and got curious. I like how my legs sort of disappear and my arm looks, well, emaciated.
