I talked him out of buying old wooden hangers.
I talked him out of buying old advertising yard sticks.
I talked him out of buying old light bulbs.
And yes, I even talked him out of buying this …

But only because we already have two 12 foot vintage tree trimmers.
Sigh.

Bad taxidermy aside, this antique store did have a sense of humor.

And you know my husband didn’t come home empty handed.

We’re now the proud (or not, depending on who you talk to) owners of a vintage table top pinball game.

I can feel your jealousy from here.

Did we need this?
No.

But when did that ever stop my spouse?

Me?
I added a few classics to my vinyl collection.

The Byrds, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, Jackson Browne, Neil Young and James Taylor.

Yes. There are about 10 metal balls that are propelled by a spring handle you pull.
It’s just a table top manual thing.

My brothers had most of those albums while we growing up. I still remember the covers especially of Bob Dylan. They would listen to them, my cool older brothers and I and I would find a good book to read or exercise to something including the background music from Pippin. After a few years, I grew to enjoy some of their albums and now they are making a return.
