Let's Live In The Past Together

I had an Up With People button?

Cleaned out the basement with my Mom last night. Found all sorts of fun stuff from when I was a kid including my button collection! This is everything that I could fit on my scanner but the collection is much larger. Including some huge-normous Toronto Blue Jays World Series Champions commemorative novelty buttons.

Additionally I found lotsa stuff I'd forgotten about or thought I'd lost. Including my viola pick-up, a good omni-mic and a whole bunch of photography stuff I'd bought. Including some old lamps, an enlarger and all sorts of chemistry and dark room stuff (trays etc.) that are all vintage 50-60's. I am going to re-appropriate them into my workspace somehow to hold like papers and misc. bits or something. Or perhaps they'd make a nice collection of hats or bed pans? The sky really is the limit.

The funny and heart-warming thing about looking at old possessions. Some say that smell is the sense most closely tied to memory. But perception of an object that marks a space and time evokes the strongest recollection in my mind.
