thrifty

so yesterday i went trawling through  thrift stores and a big ol' antique emporium. found some pretty sweet shit. gotta say.....

this is a sweet little ivory weekly jotter with a kick ass clasp i found.

clearer photo of the days...

found this 1st edition from 1927....

here's a book review from amazon.... can't wait to read it.

Robert Graves' tongue-in-cheek treatise laments the decline of swearing and foul language in England and looks back with nostalgia at the glory days of oaths and blasphemies.Written when Graves was teaching at Cairo University in 1926, a time when censorship in England was still in full sway, Lars Porsena is an impassioned defence of the foul-mouthed in literature and a resounding raspberry in the face of hypocrisy and puritanism.

got some cool frames for me to fill....

a crazy ass huge grain shovel from asia.....

and that aint even all of it. i bought miss ely who tattoos at F8 a sterling silver stamp holder. let's just say.... i think it'll come in handy for her extra curricular activities. 

oh, and i got a fur stole.... for a fiver. fuck yeah.

if i didn't have a job, i reckon i would make the best crazy bag lady trawling through skips n shit. i could find a gem in a turd. seriously.

anyways, then i went out on my roof terrace and played some chess on my laptop. i'm hopefully gonna be teaching harry how to play, so figured i'd better double check i still could. although.... i could probably tell him that queens can jump 4 spaces and only kill castles and he'd believe me.... so kinda mute point.
