SMACK DESTINY IN THE FACE

12.10.11

Craigslist!

Why?
What else is there to do?
It's not my finest, by far, but it's something.
Also, I've noticed that people will report them if they're too AWESOME. So, there's that..




I saw you today. You were outside of the antique stores downtown. We made eye contact. There was a connection.

I just so happened to be going into the same store as you for exactly the same amount of time (how weird is that?! It must be fate.), I noticed you looking at the Mickey Mouse salt and pepper shakers. I too have an intense love for depression era Walt Disney merchandise. I bought the shakers. That's why they were gone when you went back for them.. you looked confused. But when two shakers of that quality walk into your life, you don't let em go. In a way, the shakers could be like you. I want to buy you for $3.95 and keep you in my kitchen to show off to my friends. You could complete my collection.

I also just so happened to keep running into you around the store (we both like vintage linens, another coincidence!) I hope you didn't mind my casual commentary about the items you were looking at. I find that it occasionally startles people, but you were different. You were special, I think you may have even enjoyed it.
You're like a majestic tortoise on a voyage through the Caribbean, but with the vulnerability of a carrier pigeon. Or like a delicate fox searching for a succulent rabbit to feast on, but held back like a gazelle with a broken leg. You're like a cowboy.

I would love to see you again/show you my shakers/braid your gentle brown hair (they'd be manly braids.. like cornrows or something.).
So hit me up of you enjoy fine company and nostalgic kitchen ware. I'll be waiting here, next to my computer, with my cat. Please contact me.
