Thursday Thirteen ~ Weird things on my shelves






Thirteen Things about Pauline



1. A 3 point deer antler found in our woods.

2. A baton found in the basement of a rental house we purchased.

3. Three spurs and three horse shoes found in the Arizona desert by nephews while javalina hunting.

4. A small clear box with 66 porcupine needles taken from Mika's snout - along with a porcupine paw given to us by a friend of the Captain after hearing about Mika's adventure with the porcupine.

5. An old canister of pick-up sticks, 7 sets of Jacks - most old, a couple new, a book about how to play jacks and 3 jars of old marbles.

6. An old soap stone with flannel cover - used to warm the bed on cold nights.

7. A snake skin found in our yard

8. A rubber coated bottle, a round bottomed green bottle, 2 brown glass bottles, and a heavy metal cone-shaped item - perhaps from a torpedo - all caught in the Captain's net at one time or another.

9. A cow??? knuckle that Cling-On picked up while visiting in Arizona

10. A Pitch Pipe for guitar - No one here plays a guitar - or any other instrument as far as that goes.

11. An old wooden buoy - the kind that were attached to fishing nets years ago

12. Weird shaped branch, a wooden dowel, and 10 rocks - why? I don't know

13. Bear Bread - Native American term for tree mushroom - also known as Artist's Konk

As you probably noticed, I bunched stuff together - I actually had 56 lines I had to condense into 13. I probably could have had 13 per shelf. lol

I would hate to do this list in my house. It would be 13 per shelf, per book shelf, per room! LC

A somewhat eclectic list of things there. From looking around I'd say I was mostly surrounded by books...

JAM said...

Some very unique items. Sounds like you could make a couple more T13s out of the shelves on days your imagination just isn't there.

Lori said...

If they ever have the "Let's Make A Deal" show again, I think you should put most of that in your purse and go to the show!

Shelves do accumulate the most random stuff! Great list.

Did someone say books? I just cannot throw books away. I broke a bookshelf a few weeks ago jamming too many books in it. No one ever wants to help me move.

Its the pinecone collection that scares us, lol.

byoc said...

Pinecones? I don't have an obsession with pinecones. Do I? Well, tonight we went to the drive in theatre and I had to throw out a few pine cones that were in the back to make room for blankets and pillows. lol
