Shock and Awe


Once again I'm touched shocked completely blown away by the generosity of Internet friends.


Two years ago, LazyGal Tonya posted a shot of her apartment. There was, of all things, a phrenology head on a shelf. I commented on the post, saying I would just love to find one of those heads.


Yesterday I came home from work to find a big package in the mail. Tonya--she may be a lazy quilter but she has one unbelieveable memory. Tonya has sent me a phrenology head that she found at a boot sale while she was visiting a friend in England.


Just totally shaking my head in wonder. I LOVE it--it's just the right bizarre touch for my pad and it has a fun story to go with it. It wouldn't be nearly as cool if it had come from a rummage sale around here.


And speaking of bizarre... and speaking of rummage sales...


Am I crazy? We're doing a rummage sale here this weekend, trying to move some stuff. Right now I'm snowed under excess glassware, coffee mugs, Christmas trim, and other miscellaneous stuff, trying to merchandise it, such as it is, and price it all. If you find yourself in the burbs of Milwaukee this weekend, do stop by. And bring cash.

The head looks wonderful there next to your B. I've had photos of the heads here in Paris too - so that's been within the last year... I was tempted to write "head" on the customs form but figured it didn't need to be held up. hee hee hee. looks like a fun yard sale - good luck with it.
