More Stuff I Found

I have noticed a trend that I am trying to shape my blog to show the world as I see it.  I know how frivolous  it is but it speaks more to the fact that I like frivolity.  I get so serious and moody at times but I am light hearted and forever just excited over what I see and what I find.
Here are just a couple more examples for you:



I did not think that they made this candy anymore but totally remembered it from when I was a kid..  I went for a ride to nowhere and I stopped at a really small one off convenient store and there on the dusty and a tad scary shelves was Toffifay.  Perhaps not the most exciting post ever but trust me I was very excited.  I try to be so good on the weekends as weigh in is on Mondays but I splurged and treated myself.  Maybe they are still around but I do not know as I do my best to avoid the candy aisle.    The thought did dawn on me that perhaps they had been sitting in that little scary shop since the 80's and either I should buy them to resell on eBay or they were gonna be gross.  Well if they were from the 80's then I can testify firsthand that Toffifay has a longer shelf life than Twinkies.  They were heaven!  Exactly as I remember - yum.



Look what I found on the sidewalk!  Michelle used to give me so much grief for picking stuff up off the street but there is so much good stuff to be had, although I will admit I do end up picking up a lot of what truly is just trash.  Check these out - handmade seed necklaces!  I feel a bit bad as they must have taken house to make - and not one but two!  I saw the blue one first and thought, how lucky -then right nearby I saw the green one - double plus good!  (Oh for little game to show I just a marshmallow head - do you know where "double plus good" is from?)  I am not sure if you can tell by the picture but they are super shiny and bright.  They are in great condition too.  I have blogged about my niece before that writes to me all the time.  I am gonna mail them to her.  I don't know what she will do with them but I thought they would be a fun item to show up in mailbox.  Just think from the sidewalks of Southern California to the post boxes of New England - how fun, right?!?
