This just in from the NYC subway:
Stranger in the Background reports that Harlequin boods books just don't cut it anymore. There's a new romance novel in town:
"ah, Thug Matrimony. Such a classic."
Thanks, SITB!

This looks like the back page of my high school year book.

I think this is a charm for a handbag. Cute!

Orphan hats need a home, too. Perhaps you can find room in your heart for a creepy sweatband that says DANGLE on it?
No?
Me neither.

Hello, and welcome to the Found on the Ground Adopt-A-Mitten-A-Thon! Yes, winter is over, and the snow has melted. And these adorable little orphan mittens were left behind.
Won't you help them find a home? :)

Found this funky purse in my back yard. It had chewed gum, lipstick and a Blockbuster video receipt in it. Doubtless snatched by a thief, emptied, and tossed over the chain link fence to my yard.

I also found these in my backyard. Lovely!

This wonderful piece of a toy I found in my own backyard! I can hardly believe my luck. Perhaps I live on the site of a former (some would say current) dump, which is happy for me.
From the white bloom on one side of this, I would say it is lead. There is also seam down the front. There is a similar, whole item on eBay that says it is from the 1930s.
And what wonderful detail... If you look closely, you can see a little decoration or maybe a headlamp on the front of his hat, which is flopping jauntily over a face with features and ears. Even the underside of the steering wheel has detailing.
This guy has a hobby of "metal detectoring", as I guess they call it in England, and they have a whole page of old lead toys!
