Finishing My Book

Just a note to say that I won't be posting quite so often this winter. Nose to the grindstone: I'm finishing up my book about life in Orleans and the Gift House. When I'm done, I'm hoping to make some improvements to this blog, do more linking, and take field trips to all the other swap shops on the Cape. Stay Tuned! 

TIKI CHIC

This is a Scorpion Bowl, the vessel for a deadly Trader Vic's brew that will make you do things you later regret. Those who drink of this cup will have no memory of it later. That's why, when I came upon this object in the Gift House, I had to bring it home and Google it in order to identify it. I think the pink conical shape in the middle is meant to be a volcano.  Bottoms up!
