Beloved Plastic, Weathered Rust & Reportage

More images from everywhere.  At work while at play.  Summer 2012.

PS: My pal Steve is smiling because I drove back to Lehighton, PA to grab that vintage Humpty 

Dumpty lamp for him.  I still can't believe I let him leave the store without it on the first go-round.  

Instagram Squares: Atlantic City (Part 3)

More interior and exterior casino and boardwalk shots: Atlantic City, NJ.  July 2012.

Exterminating The Zeitgeist

No other store rides the zeitgeist with the marketing savvy of C.H. Martin in Ewing, New Jersey.  

Such timely grace.  Such merchandising class...  Truly inspiring.

Christmas Umbrella Tree

 Part of me wonders "Why bother?" but the other part of me asks if they were trying to make a Christmas Umbrella with the running rope lights on the trunk and the icicle lights on the edges of the lower branches.  Either way, it's kind of fun.  Stirling, NJ.  23 December 2010.

Piñatas, Dolls, Ornaments, Produce, Books, Trolls, Diamonds, Elvis, Velvet Unicorns & That Painful, Burning Itch

 

NOTICE: There are some things you should NEVER buy at a "dented can" store in a flea market.

What would a trip to Zern's be without Elvis, trolls or unicorns on velvet?

Just remember... Take care of that painful, burning itch someplace else.

However, if you have a painful, burning itch... You probably caught it here.

Zern's of Gilbertsville, PA.  26 November 2010.
