Every once in a while, the super-awesome readers of my blog send me stuff that they know I will like. They email me and say, "I hope you don't think I'm a stalker, but I want to send you something in the mail. Can I have your address?" Studies show that only 3 out of every 10 people who ask for your address are murderers. I will take my chances if it means that I get a package in the mail.
Katie sent me this cute apple juice label, because she knows that I collect apple-related labels and signs. She is a seasoned junker - look at this unbelievable vintage glider that she found in the trash.
Michelle from Dallas sent me these cufflinks and tiebar, which she had found in her grandmother's house. (I shared these on Facebook a few months ago.) It took me a while to figure out why she thought I would like them. I thought they were baby feet. But, after a couple of minutes, I realized why it was funny. And then I felt sick for thinking that they were baby feet. You can read the comments on Facebook here.
Amy from Into Vintage and Vintage Market Guide sent me this box of "Party Jocs Coasters for your Highballs". What the hell was I going to find in here?
Mini jock straps for your cocktails. And it even says it on the waistband: "For your High Balls". It's a good thing they printed that on the waistband. Otherwise, some dumb man might mistakenly put one on his real balls.
If your cocktail glass had a butt crack, you would be able to see it. Just like a real jock strap.
Do you think the number refers to the inches? I'll stick with four, given the options.
Thanks again, Michelle, Amy & Katie!
I love a good laugh and I can always find it on your blog.

Those little feet are subtle but pack a wallop. What a fun Grandma Michelle from Dallas must have!
Thanks for the double shout out! Did I say I'm not a stalker? I don't think so. But even if I were, I'm too lazy to stalk someone on the opposite coast.

Awesome...and you will not believe it, but one of those No. 4 Mini Jocks showed up in the Chinese auction my husband's family reunion! I'll try to share a picture on your Facebook. Love these fun gifts!

My daughter walked up behind me while I was reading this and commented on how cute the baby feet were. Then about 10 seconds later she realized what it really was... I had a good laugh laughing at her! :-) Love the mini jocs too! I think every home should have a set of those...
