Since Peter was a little zygote, he has wanted a vintage globe. We have found a few on our thrifting travels, but they’ve always been pretty pricey.  Until last weekend, when we hit the jackpot! It was his birthday, so I think the force was with him. We found this fabulous globe in the Salvation Army thrift store for 10 bucks. I did some globe dating, and it turns out it was made between 1976 and 1979. Not exactly an antiquity, but pretty good for 10 bucks!

And it works!

I also had some mild thrifting success myself.  I picked up a decorative plate of a lioness and her cubs. It’s so beautifully detailed that if you look closely, you can see a cub’s, erm, bottom orifice. Charming!
