One Potato, Two Potato....



If anything in this photo makes you drool, than you really have to check out THREE potao FOUR! I don't care if you've been shopping there for years; it's new to me so let me rave :)

Here is a sampling of some of my finds, and believe me, it's only the tip of the iceberg! First up is a Snowden Motorway Plate (almost enough to make me like pink), (2) British Rollsign Numbers, (3) a simple but genius wooden Kid O puzzle of narrow to wide ; dark to light-likely to occupy a child's attention for far longer than many more complicated toys, (4) an awesome map of Manhattan (one can never have too many maps of Manhattan), and (5) these old Check Register Numbers. I have no idea what I'd use them for, but I know that just standing in a silver 1950's anadozied aluminum cup on my kitchen shelf they will make me smile. Funny how my mom's china knick-knacks are clutter but my vintage numbers are art.










And this is the one I let get away. Sob. No matter that I didn't know the site existed. It's astronauts! I should've been inexplicably drawn to them like a magnet. I registered for a restock notification. Like that will ever happen.

I love that place! Someday, I plan to have a whole wall of random numbers and letters collected from stores like that. And those astronauts- sooooo cool. E would love them. :)
