Second hand shopping is a passion of mine. I feel slightly pretentious saying so, but it's true. I love thrift stores. I love Craigslist. I love garage sales. Hell, I've even been known to dumpster dive. I love digging through old discarded junk and coming up with a treasure.
I used to hunt through local shops for old ponies, I still scour them for household items, and now I rummage for building materials. Our local Savers often have things I will be needing. I'm also blessed to have five Habitat for Humanity ReStores within driving distance. If you've never been to one of these stores, it's wonderland of donated and reclaimed bricks, and tile, and wood, and lights, and hardware, and cabinets, and sinks, and EVERYTHING. I've been slowly procuring things like doors, windows, sinks, and light fixtures for the house. Some of these pieces are really unique and I will be trotting them out for everyone once the building is further along.
Now, sometimes when I'm out sifting through cast off doo-dads, I come across things that just makes you pause. Pause, double-take, cringe, and back away. Sometimes I'll bark a laugh that scares the old ladies in the next aisle.
Today I came across one of these items. I present, The Dick Angel:
I came across this folksy wonder at the Salvation Army in Lawrence, KS. Initially we were calling her the Dangel, but Dongel has been slowly gaining preference.
This makes me think I could start making a quite marketable decorative item for Etsy. I wonder if Alibaba sells rubber dongs in bulk?
