The larger one my mom gifted to me. It was one she used when she was in high school for a botany class project. The smaller matching one I found a couple months later at a goodwill. It was destiny

I went shopping with my mom and grandmom at antique/secondhand stores today. I said “keep an eye out for a hippo, I need a house hippo.” not five minutes later, my mom found three hippos. So we now all have our house hippos

Turns out the layby fell through and the owner of the shop finally made him available for sale again. Today I got to buy him. Hes the size of a child. How amazing is he?!!

He now serves the purpose of scaring everyone that comes out of that bedroom

Found the best ornament yesterday, a vintage 1985 fraggle rock ornament at a charity shop in Dublin. It was made by hallmark and henson company. Fraggle rock was one of my favourite tv shows growing up! It def came home with me. Best €5 I have ever spent

I did not buy it that day , but went home and thought about it for three weeks . Called the store and purchased it , then drove three hours there and back to bring it home . I now have a pug “room” to go with my pug chair

I gasped so loudly when I found it that my husband was like ‘ohhhhh you found a treasure!?’ from across the huge store and quickly made his way over

I had to get it because it looks freakishly like my father I stuck an airplant in the hole in the top and I’m giving it to him for christmas

A year ago I moved from the UK back to Spain where charity shops are not really a thing. Last weekend I went back to Bristol to visit friends and stopped at my local charity shop, where I had found other gems in the past. But this. I wish I could wear it every day. Bristol, UK

“I want you to draw me like one of your french girls.. “ my kids were questioning my sanity during our photo shoot.

Hi guys this is my first post here !
Bit of backstory for this: so I was a flight attendant for Primera air until the company went bankrupt in October 2018. I was heartbroken, I loved my job! (This is gonna be a long post, sorry in advance. TLDR at the buttom)
The last flight I was so insane. We were flying from BLL in Denmark to Chania. We took off not knowing what was in store for us but it was about to be a wild ride. Not long after the seatbelt signs came off we were called to the front of the aircraft where my senior (boss of the cabin) told us we were bankrupt while crying. It was all very emotional but soon there would be no time for crying. (Skip next paragraph if you don’t like mention of blood)
We went back to our stations and suddenly smell something weird. We look out from the galley and see something dark and red on the floor. We knock on the door to the bathroom. An elderly lady was in there, bleeding all over the place. It looked like someone was murdered in there. There was blood everywhere! Sink, mirror, floor, the whole nine. She was talking calmly and explained she had had surgery in her behind and it must have been that.
We called for a doctor  and it turns out he had been there to operate and knew her by name! Told her that she had gotten a letter stating that she wasn’t to travel within two weeks of the operation but she thought it wasn’t to be taken serious. Doc told us he didn’t consider it life threatening per say but that she needed a hospital.
We ended up diverting and got her with an ambulance and called for cleaning.
In the meantime Primera air broke the news on Facebook. Which meant that all the 180-something passengers suddenly found out. We debated if we should turn back to Denmark. But agreed after talking to some of the passengers that we should continue our last flight and finish it.
We got back in the air and gave all drinks and snacks people wanted away. It was very emotional knowing this would be the last time we did that. People were so nice too. All our makeup was ruined, we took turns crying and got so many hugs and well wishes from the passengers. It was lovely really under the circumstances 
We land and the passengers went on their holidays. Then the aircraft got seized and we were told to leave. Luckily our crewing department managed to book us a hotel and air travel home before everything was closed.
Not much sleep were had that night. A lot of red wine and g&t as well as a lot of stories and memories shared.
Flash forward and an old colleague tells me he found this food trolly for sale. That food trolly was on my very last flight. Naturally it had to come home to me  a memory I will forever cherish.
TLDR; this food Trolly was on my very last flight with Primera air and thus I had to have it 

This is from a few years ago but I only recently found this group. Unfortunately was too broke to purchase at the time but strongly considering making the three hour drive to pick it up if it's still around!

It lived from then on in his workshop out in the barn. When he passed I asked her if I could have the "Ugly head". She said yes, she never wanted to see it again. Unfortunately for her, I put him on the entrance table in my foyer. We all (except my mom) love him. I put seasonal hats on him

Starting tomorrow, he will sit on my desk at school. What a perfect tissue box cover for a kindergarten classroom

(I just had to add that I love you, weirdlings! I thought everyone would get a kick out of this, but had no idea how much! For those of you who want your own cig pooping donkey, I found a couple online when I searched ‘donkey cigarette dispenser. You can put your weed in it!”
