vintage-ectomy

Mollie brought back a LOAD of vintage clothes the other day.

She said it was for the store, but when she began to try EVERYTHING on I started wondering. She was all like "wow, most of these fit me REALLY well!"

mm hm.





Anyway. Most of the stuff is making its way into the growing clothing area of the store. I added an extra bar to rack up the new stuff.

craptacular

If my dad was around to see the craptastic stuff I build now, he would shake his head in mild confusion and disgust.

He never understood my attempts to elevate kludginess to art. Though he was the king of kludge who I inherited the trait from.

Here, a bag o' stuff mixed with glue is slow drying on the bowling game. Soon to become a crapulent sort of "architectural lighting" fixture.
bag o crap

Outdid myself on this crapalicous pegboard wall merchandiser. I've successfully lowered the bar once more. Next to it is a 10 cent dispenser of "Art" and Fortunes.
wall o crap

Bobbi and Carlos brought this cable spool to us a while back. Today it got turned into a craptabulous clothing rack with waterfall bar. It actually looks good, so I might have failed here. Its about to be filled with clothing stuff.

This is a beautiful, classic and well-built showcase. Obviously I had nothing to do with its construction. I'm not sure what Mollie, Emma and Kim will put inside.
