Clearance Aisle - Aisle 2

(BULLDOG ripping up pineapples at the local Kroger supermarket)

It's that time. Every now and then I have to purge unused photos from my camera's memory cards. For whatever reason, these random images never fit in with any particular blog post. Until now...

Here's a wall of records at local record shop, LO YO-YO RECORDS. Missy liked the "Soft Touch" cover, while I was more intrigued with the MR. T PICTURE DISC:



A photo of a photo of Missy at a BEATNIK HOUSE PARTY that her and her roommates threw at the first house she lived in here in Athens, in the Normaltown neighborhood, back in 2002:



The giggling middle-school kid in me couldn't resist taking a photo of these STEEL NIPPLES in the Home Depot, much to Missy's chagrin:

BLING BLING BAND-AIDS designed by Cynthia Rowley. While out and about in Atlanta a couple of weekends ago, Missy cut her finger a tiny bit. We ran into Target and considered the blingy bandages for a second, and then went with a much cheaper option:



At the market last weekend, The 20-year old raver kid in me couldn't say "HECK NO" to these neon Haribo candy TECHNO BEARS:



Excited for greazy-ass french fries from FIVE GUYS BURGERS & FRIES, late one night:

We Buy DIY: Oceanity Handmade

When we had our table at Raindrop a few weeks ago, I picked up some really neat stuff from Michelle of Oceanity Handmade. Michelle makes really lovely fabric brooches, bow barrettes, sewn ribbons, and much more. I chose this pin, made from vintage Girl Scouts fabric and felt. This is the Pen Pal pin! I love it because I had so many pen pals when I was in high school and college. Hey, it was before the internet... I might have to get the other Pen Pal, so she can have someone to write to.


I also chose a vintage children's book to add to my collection. This one has some really cute illustrations inside - so inspiring!


The book is called Children of the Nineties, and I know you are thinking they might be into "grunge music" maybe, but no, my friends, they are from the 1890's!
