Scary Santa

It's vintage! To quote my boss, "Just because it's old, doesn't mean it's worth anything." This Santa is creepy. What is the deal with his white face and florescent rosy spots? His velvet suit was disintigrating and his body was made out of styrafoam that was also disintigrating. I broke his leg and felt bad at first until I realized what he was made out of and the condition he was in. Sometimes people donate things because they don't have to feel guilty about throwing something away.

Volunteer love

We couldn't do what we do without all our lovely volunteers. I am so thankful for these wonderful people. We are having a Christmas party for them today so I thought this plaque was appropriate. It was donated and I've got it hanging by my desk. It replaced the sexy pocket.

Mommy and Baby snake pins

These are over 30 years old. Vintage, beautiful, and creepy. Love the rhinestones.

Matching Mugs

They are both red and white! They also form a sentence. Kiss my Mr. Asshole. Hehe I am probably the only one who thinks I'm funny but that's okay.

Holiday TP

A low-cost, unique holiday gift idea for neighbors. Especially if you don't like them.

Versatile Reptile

This pin is neat! It's vintage AND a snake. It doesn't get much better than that.

It can be worn this way.

OR this way.

and probably more ways but I have work to do and I can't play with it anymore.

Rawrr!

Nothing cooler than a zombie T-Rex. Rawrr means I want to eat your brains.

Made in Denmark

Um... what does someone say about these treasures. The hair is made out of animal fur. The bodies are made out of trees. The little one needs more clothing but she accessorized with a necklace.

Secondary Ear Wax Storage

I know I've posted something like this before, but it is still funny when we get them. Funny, gross, and sad. There was only one. It probably fell out when they were loading up the clothing they donated. That's where I found this one. It fell out of some clothing as we were sorting through it.

Inspirational Journal

This quote is what I needed to read today! I need to remind myself to skip the reverse gear of life.

I can't find my teef (said as if you were missing teeth)

What is better, finding a spider in the donation or this? I'm still internally debating that question. The disturbing thing is they wrapped it up when it was still wet enough to make the paper stick to it. GROSS!
*Conversation about these with my sister. Her - They were gross and jagged looking. Me- I know, if I had to have fake teeth, I would at least ask the dentist to make them beautiful!

Cup Surprise!

Darth Vader found a surprise in his cup. He couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a worm or excrement.

Redneck Wine Glass

My boss saw these at a store for $10 each. He decided to make his own with some of the donations we get. Candlestick holder, red solo cup, and hot glue!

Golf Ball Surprise!

I found the following on my desk. I wondered why there was a hole in it and a cut around the middle.

So I opened it and found this!


That was a fun surprise. Then we found a couple more a few days later. I think it must have been a large donation and that is why it took so long for these to show up. They are displayed on a golf tee.


Such cute faces.

Someecards

I only showed the cleanest ones, the rest have swear words on them. Still funny.

Cats!

On one hand, this took a lot of talent to make. On the other hand, I don't see the fascination with cats having babies immortalized into inanimate objects. It brings to mind another post.


This ornament causes a mixture of fascination and confusion.

Ah, Texas

This was too good not to share. It was probably made from a whole sapling.

I remember the commercials for this stuff

We tried this stuff out on a fuzzy squirrel bank to see if it works. It stinks! Boss quote, "It makes you high so you don't care if you are bald or not." He always refers to his hair as a cul de sac and that he is working on the roadways in. I had to google how to spell that and I found out it means butt of the sack in French. haha So much funny.

X-large for all your containing needs

I'm sorry for thinking these are funny. I know there are many times that these can be useful for medical problems. They are still funny though, mostly because I was sorting through clothing and didn't expect them.

Acid Trip Nativity

This is a unique idea for a Nativity. Gaudy too. I just can't describe my feelings right now. I took pictures of all the sides of this masterpiece. I threw this away after I took the pictures but knowing my luck, someone from my facebook friend's list is going to want it.
