Monday, while waiting for our birthday lady to arrive, I visited a second hand shop just across the street from where we were celebrating. I saw many interesting things there. A few of those I bought, most not.
I found - and bought - a tin of
I saw - and did not buy -
bookends shaped like comic figures, a
carefully wrapped CD with the soundtrack from
Grease featuring
Hopelessly Devoted to You, a book on
gland diseases in bovine for veterinary students, and another on Greek
elegies. It was a very good second hand shop, and I hope to go there again.
I found - and bought - an owl shaped lunch box (not featured) and these funny birds
If anybody has an inkling - or certain knowledge - of the use of these wooden creatures, I'd be happy to hear.
And with this I used the first batch of words from Words for Wednesday. Found here, and supplied by yours truly. Here are all the words once again - I do not yet know if and for what I am going to use the second batch.

A good second hand shop is a wonderful thing. I do not know what those little birds were originally designed for - but would have had a hard time resisting them.
SvarSletThank you - they were irresistible.
SletWhat fun things to find! Those birds are very special, whatever they are.
SvarSletThank you. I like second hand shops and almost always find fun things there.
SletI love how you used the words. I'm not sure about the birds, I like them but don't know what they are for.
SvarSletThose birds, liked but unknown ;)
SletWell done Charlotte - yes I loved your take on 'your' words! They took us in and out of life ... the wonder of the things we acquire ... those little birds - I do not know ... but they are delightful. Cheers to you - and thanks for supplying the words during July - all the best - Hilary
SvarSletThank you, and thanks for using "my" words.

SvarSletOh, good story. Perfect description of those long, lazy summer's days. And a tongue in cheek ending too.
SletI must go check out second hand shops though there aren't that many around her. These are interesting finds. Those wooden birds looks interesting but I've not seen such things before. Perhaps they are for smashing or beating small ingredients for cooking? But they are cute though.
SvarSletHave a lovely day
If the heads are removable, they will be mood barometers. Beak up (+), beak down (-), and if a partner lets the beak disappear upside down, s/he is pissed off!!!
SvarSletNope, the're quite small and have no movable parts. My guess is that thay are pieces for some unknown to me boardgame.
