And, in his eternal quest to best the quester, gift #3 is... a game!
Yeah, that Scola doesn't know me at all.
Sadly, I cannot further investigate the intriguingly named
Forbidden Planet
as I am off to the ballet, but it looks like just the kind of co-operative card game I love. 3 down, 1 to go. Yay, Tom!
Oooh! That's a great game! Good choice, Scola. It's very fun. I got to play a couple games with the creator.
You played board games with GOD?!?!?
LOWERCASE C.
Is this some sort of "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" thing?
Are you trying to blow our little bourgeois minds??
Is that like meeting someone for Coffee vs. coffee?
I have an unmarked PRESENT!!! USPS just dropped it off and I ripped into it like a meth head into a candy bar. OMG so cute gnome planter. Vintage wall planter/vase, possibly. My guess is from the 40s or 50s. Green and adorable and going right into my kitchen window to be planted with a succulant. THANK YOU mysterious gifter. I assume from here. I will now begin my sleuthing and I will have you found out by end of day. LOVE IT!
OK, LAists! and I have a few address, so I am narrowing it down.
Um, btw, I was checking out the gnome some more and it is stamped and a cursory googling tells me that this may be the work of a former Disney illustrator who also did some pottery for one of the well known California Pottery houses. Um? AWESOME!
OHhhhhhh TRICKY TRICKY. The LA address is the place of purchase.
