Today was the day of the Greenwood Art Walk. We did a bit of walking, and saw some very pretty stuff. The only picture that really turned out were these amazing gold and brass wire baskets in a neighborhood Taoist space.
But really, what made me smile were the couple of yard sales and allied sales happening all along Greenwood Avenue today.
I took a pass on this one, but it just made me laugh out loud that someone conceived that two nouns - "Kansas City Chiefs" and "crockpot" - could be brought together.
Not only brought together, but after conception, somebody had to buy off on making more than one, and to advertise them. I'm guessing that they were quite the thing for beef bqq for those Arrowhead tailgate parties in the 70s.
However, I did bite on another item that made me smile. Who would possibly use a Beetle Bailey cloth wallet?
Yeah, me. For $9.50.
I bought this bad girl in a little tent kiosk on Greenwood that sold great cloth purses. I have too many purses, frankly, so I have to use what I have. But this was handmade by a woman who somehow found Beetle Bailey comic cloth, someone again had print Beetle Bailey comic cloth, and someone had to figure that Beetle Bailey printed comic cloth would sell well enough to justify the whole thing. Given that chain of crazy decisions, how could you walk away?

That was a really good price on that crock pot, ugliness and all. DH would snap something like that up if it was his team!!
