Some old houses used to have a razor slit in the bathroom which led into the wall cavity so your wall would fill up with razor blades. Now throw in a tornado and you have some great shrapnel

I love this stationary so much. It’s a set breads with vellum envelopes that look like a croissant/bagel/baguette you get at a European bakery.

Cookbook Winner at Working Bikes
You couldn't contain your smile when they called your raffle number at the Working Bikes fundraiser. It was the prize called Yes Chef! It was a Dolly Parton cookbook. You couldn't have been more thrilled. You must be a big fan of hers - swoon. Double swoon for loving bikes. Green shirt, nice neat beard, cute baseball cap. Turns out you were the prize that night.
