Handy Thrift

I somewhat reluctantly went to the Value Village on Queen West today. I always feel like the hipsters will have beaten me to all the good stuff. Well, not today.

I bought this cool hanging hand for $2.99. Depending on how you angle it, it either looks like the "come hither" fingers, or when you put your index finger and thumb near each other to show "this much." This looks eighties to me.

Cool $4.99 book on Japanese art for my husband. Could have been cheaper, but his love don't cost a thing, or whatever J-Lo once sang, using poor grammar.

I can hear my mom laughing. "You want to read a book about what it's like to be old?" Yes, but it's by Diana Athill!
Here we find the hand riding the Japanese wave. You have to wonder about the back stories of some of these objects sometimes. Who owned the hand and why did they get rid of it?

I also bought Duncan a very cool bowling shirt with flaming dinosaurs on it for $2.99. It's very Michael Madsen in Reservoir Dogs. I taught him to say, "Are you going to bark all day little doggie, or are you going to bite?" He better not say that in kindergarten.
