Two to take

For each of these two, I took the picture first and the stuff second. The window fits perfectly at home and the mints were delicious. Yum.

From the lovely corner of Valley and Avalon in Milton, Mass. comes this sub-mission from new reader Brian M. who happened upon this doll "just standing there looking beautiful, yet vulnerable" on his way into town and noticed it was gone ("hopefully off to a nice home and not to some pervert" -- like that twisted designer who made the poster for "Whatever happened to Baby Jane?") on his way back home.

A carton of blue painter's tape in various widths goes off to Brian M. as our little way of saying "thank you."

God beams not included

Or, if you'd rather: the crepuscular rays are not a part of the deal.

More cupboards for the mud room?

Maybe these would go well in the kitchen. Decisions decisions.
