I spy...in my house
While home for Xmas, it came to my attention that my family has a mild case of undiagnosed hoarding. We’ve grown inured to these items over the years.
1
I’m documenting these lost toy souls to bring them to the forefront of our attention, in an attempt to foment a spring cleaning revolution. Many of these are relics from my sister’s childhood (recent, as she’s just now in high school), which we never got around to cleaning out, though I’m a culprit for a few as well.
First up....a cow wearing a sombrero lending a ride to a paper crane.
2
A tipped over hulu nestled between 20+ year old softball trophies (a hulu is a Chinese gourd, which also is the etymologous origin for the name Hulu, the streaming giant)
3
A suicidal spotted cow
4
A bunny riding a magazine holder
5
A remote control manual in the Ugandan clay bowl in the display cabinet
6
This terrifying mask made by my sister in ceramics class
7
A bag of Barbie clothes next to a pyramid Rubik’s cube next to the microwave
8
This chicken pitcher I made in ceramics class in middle school, which is a poor pitcher as it leaks from the bottom
9
Two lizards mating on a seashell
10
A Zazu from a McDonald’s happy meal on the toilet tank in the guest bathroom
11
A penguin taking a bath in a Yale shot glass
12
A Peruvian doll I brought back for my sister from a trip to Cusco in 2011, perched on the TV speakers
13
This Californian Mission model my sister made in elementary school, on the dining room cabinet (she got an A+ FWIW)
