So much fun here...
Gnomes aren't very big here though my kids want some after the Elton John move, "Gnomeo and Juliet". I'm not sure, however, that Kate would appreciate that one. :-)
The cat beards are hilarious.
I would not be happy if I came home from my honeymoon to a pink polka dot house. That is taking a prank REALLY far!
Have a great week.
:-)
Traci
I feel so sorry for the person who sold that James Bond watch for £25 but why don’t I ever find anything like that at a car boot sale??
I giggled over the cat beards – wish I had a cat!
That’s some statue! I hope you can keep on sharing these. I always look forward to your posts.
The gnomes and that tape dispenser made me laugh
I saw something about the cat beards over the weekend and, after viewing the dog beards, think the cats make for better beards.
It may just be on my end, but I couldn't get the article on the pink house or the statue to load. I'll try again later.
Hi Tracy,
You have surpassed yourself this week girl!
I think that the 'Mr. Blobby' decorating job was epic, although I am not so sure that I would feel the same way if that was done to one of my neighbours houses and I had to look at it day in, day out!!
I am truly wondering whether the 'bedroom art' was an 'off the shelf' purchase, or a 'one off' privately commissioned self portrait of the homeowners!!
I work for a charity shop and I am always so frightened that I am one day going to sell an item for a ridiculously low price, which is then going to go and be sold of for a fortune. That would be bad enough, but just suppose that the person then announced to the world, just exactly where they had purchased their gem .... oh the shame!!
Hope that you have had a great Bank Holiday weekend and have a good week.
Yvonne
Is it just me, or does that tape dispenser look a little vulgar?
The cat and dog "beards" are hilarious! I think those pics are my favorites this week.
Fun Monday post, as usual!
I could get a dog beard just by brushing up against my harry dogs. LOL
I'm curious about the Star Wars movie. Wonder if it will fulfill the hype!
I must confess. I actually did buy a Darth Spud to keep my Stormtater company. I didn't stop there, though. I had to pick up the Indiana Jones potato head as well.
Do you think any less of me?
Another great collection of fun stories! The cat beards are funny, but I have to wonder how the cats allowed it. I would have wound up a bloody mess if I had tried that with my Salem! And I love the pink house. Can't wait to see what they do to their brother for his wedding!
This Monday's collection seem to be ahead of many other.
The saucy statue in the bedroom is fine with me as long as it is confined there.
Well the high speed toilet, what about the privacy and the quiet?
Bizarre or is it natural for the fellow to think of his grand ma when he saw beef. Must usually happen when one think of the mother- in-law(sic)!!
Tracy on the whole excellent collection.
The pink and dotted painting seems to be the longing to be in the doll kingdom.
These are too funny Tracy. Eweww about the tripe handbags! and those cat mustaches are creepy.
So much "fun" to comment on and yet I don't want to leave a post in the comments! ^_^ OYE to the garden gnomes, WTH to the cat mustache (that's just strange) and OMG to the polka dot wedding present. Hehe....gotta love some people's gift giving (and pranking) ideas.
The animal beards are certainly interesting. You never know what is going to take off!
I am sure there are lots of Star Wars fans who would enjoy those interesting movie items. I can think of a few who would beg for that tape dispenser.
tracy, you find the funniest articles!
the cat beards are hilarious.
great collection today!
xx
