Welcome to the September 15th edition of Saturday Stuff and Things. Let the random begin!
Thing 1
On Thursday, I wore my all-time favorite scarf which is printed with birds in what appears to be synchronized perching. Here is a close up of one of the bird groups:
I've always assumed that whoever designed this scarf (it's unmarked) didn't actually base the bird activity in reality until the fabulous Amber of Butane Anvil (read her, she layers like a pro) sent me this link to this picture:
That's right, birds really do hold synchronized perching competitions. They call them huddles, but I think we all know what's really going on here.
Thing 2
I have been getting the most hilarious spam comments lately. Blogger is doing a great job of not posting them, but I'm still getting them in my spam folder and they are so ridiculously awesome, I had to share. Here are the most recent ones:
What i don't realize is if truth be told how you're now not actually much more smartly-liked than you might be right now. You are so intelligent. You know therefore considerably relating to this subject, produced me in my opinion consider it from so many numerous angles. Its like women and men don't seem to be involved until it's something to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your personal stuffs nice. All the time handle it up!

My favorite part of that one? "All the time handle it up!" I don't know what it means, but I feel like I may start using that in my comments too; it can't be a bad sentiment, right?
Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

I almost want to visit this spam site to figure out what the hell pie knits are. Sounds fascinating.
Touche. Great arguments. Keep up the amazing spirit. Here is my web page ... obi belt in history on Bonus Footage: Mabel and Zora Event
I am neither very argumentative nor terribly spirited in that post. Just sayin.'
Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it's driving me crazy so any support is very much appreciated. Also visit my web-site ; mediafire games on Bonus Footage: Mabel and Zora Event
That's right, I got a spam post about spam. Awesome!
And Some Stuff
Yesterday after work, my friend Alex and I went to a vintage flea market at one of Salem's historic estates:
Deepwood is one of my favorite places. They have gorgeous gardens, which is where the soiree was held:
As you can see from the ticket above, the theme was Alice in Wonderland, and they did a great job of decorating. It started by going through the rabbit hole:
And once you were in, there was the caterpillar and his hookah:
And the Mad Hatter's Tea Party:
There were playing card guards:
And, of course, Alice:
The vendors got into the spirit too, using lights and diaphanous fabrics for their tents:
And, on the way out, a Cheshire Cat (Pumpkin):
I bought a few things there, including a ram's head belt buckle, a pair of cameo and garnet earrings and this hand-painted glass lamp:
It needs to be cleaned up a bit, and I'm going to have to replace the wiring, but I absolutely fell in love with this lamp as soon as I saw it.
I hope you're all having a wonderful Saturday!
Gracey
