A recent antiquing day trip to search for a final alcoholic crate left me empty handed but did result in a few chuckles.

Yum.

Not.

I think I had one very similar to this when I was a kid.

Bloomers.. complete with reinforced crotch. Who could ask for more?

I’ve been looking for an old crank phone like this for the man cave. But this one didn’t crank and was missing parts … so for $350, I left it there.

And speaking of the man cave…

I’ve started to migrate my vinyl out there, though there isn’t enough room in any one spot to line up the crates in a row.

Guess they’ll have to be scattered here and there.

And if you’re wondering what’s going on here, it’s the husband breaking his back trying to upend a vintage glass water bottle into the cooler. He’s collected the damn things for years and wants to replace all the plastic containers it came with.

Prettier, but damn. They’re seriously heavy.
