Guest photo today by Mark Rodriguez.  Mark was not enamored of this sexy beast until he discovered it was made of pure cash.  Just kidding Mark.

One of my sisters commented that someone was tripping bath salts when they created this baby.

 I'm a seeker of all things interesting and so is Mark but this trunk down elephant did not make the cut.
  Needless to say...Mark did not buy this today.

Jumbo Lampshade

Just in time for New Years Eve.  The largest lampshade I have EVER seen.
I did not buy this today.

Who thought this would be a good idea for a t-shirt?

Seriously? It's hard to imagine that someone (a) thought this was a good idea for a baby garment and (b) any printer even agreed to print it. I don't think even White-Trash-R-Us, if there was one, would even carry it! I did not buy this today.

Wahhhhh! Wahhhhh! Wahhhhhh!

Eat Your Veggies Kids

I'd like to say that I did not buy this today but.....
It was so odd I HAD to buy it.  I have seen a few of these before in my travels and they always had a scary clown face.  This one is at least smiling.  Cute and kitschy.

He can be yours as I have just listed him as a buy it now on ebay.  Click here to view auction.

Three Frogs and a Baby

Wow, Sis and I have not added any new blogs in a while.  We have been busy with... whatever.  In the spirit of catching up, please enjoy the photos below of What I Did NOT buy.....

No these are not Chippendale Frogs dancing on a pole.  They are actually a frog band.   I'm pretty sure they are playing Tejano.  I'm sure they can really get down.

 I did not buy those frogs.

Next up, Clint Clock. This was an almost purchase.  He almost made my day.

 Now, this just grosses me out.  I REALLY do not like clowns. She seems pretty cool and all in her rollerblades and glasses but ewwwwwww.    I just don't get them at all.  C R EEEE PY.

I'm not sure what this figurine is but you can count on seeing some fugly figurines at thrift stores.  Honestly, why donate this crap, except that then I would not have anything to post on my blog.  (keep donating, keep donating).

 Who knew that cows could kick-ass at karate?  I did not buy this today, but I thought about it.

 I love to buy old photos and you see plenty of lonely family photos at flea markets and thrift stores.  The wedding photos always break my heart. 

In the immortal words of Billy Idol....

Hey little sister what have you done?

Hey little sister who's the only one?

Hey little sister who's your superman?

Hey little sister who's the one you want?

Hey little sister, Shotgun.

It's a nice day for a white wedding.

Sadly, I'm sure some a-hole broke her heart.

On that note, time for some thrift store smut art.

I love thrift store art.  There are so many pieces that just put a smile on my face and this was one of them. Whoa Bettie never looked so good.

If you saw Gitsy's last post of the Southern Belle Zombi Lamp she did not buy , you may be surprised to see that I found her western cousin the crocheted western Zombie.

Her regalia includes a fully fringed western dress and hat.

 

And a few aisles down we found her husband the the Native American chief Crochet-a-lot.

Lastly for your viewing pleasure, my favorite non-purchased item......

Fugly Mardi Gras Baby.

I hope you enjoyed todays blog of what I did not buy today.  Have a great week.

Tammy Faye Baker is looking down from heaven, proud to know her look survived.

Kneeling Child Exoskeleton??

I had no problem passing up this hard kneeling denim jumper with white sneakers. WTH??? There are no words to describe the confusion in my brain trying to figure out what this is used for. It is very heavy. Garden planter? EPIC FAIL!
