I wonder if I’m the only person who is obsessed with the Scrubs musical.
…I can’t be, right? I mean, it’s an AMAZING episode!!!!

I’m sitting in Starbucks right now (hah - when am I not in Starbucks?)
I spent a good portion of the day walking along Queen St, and now I’m pooped.

Speaking of poop…I saw these cards in The OuterLayer store on Queen St:

pretty, right?

They’re made out of elephant poo!
Nope - I’m not joking.

Visit their website!

I’m horrified and loving it at the same time.

Speaking of being horrified… I had an interesting placenta-laden conversation with some co-workers the other day.
Apparently I am one of a few people who didn’t realize that some people - HUMANS - eat their placenta.

The people I was with were having a common, everyday placenta conversation, and every few minutes I would have to remind myself to lift my jaw up from off the floor.

No one at the table had eaten her placenta, but one person did plant it in her backyard an grow a tree.
…what?

For some reason I assume that there would be some municipal law against planting human tissue. …like something to do with the sewage system?

at one point I was convinced that the entire conversation was just some joke intended to trick the gullible people. but no, apparently I’m completely out-of-the-loop when it comes to newage placenta etiquette.
…but I’m okay with that.

anyways, I’ve decided that I’ve (finally) finished my 3/50 project!
As I’ve mentioned before, the 3/50 project is about supporting local businesses. The idea is to choose 3 local brick and motar stores that you love and go there and spend $50 to support them!
During my wanderings today I went to my fav stores on Queen st and spent money.
(Now, I didn’t spend $50 at each store, because I didn’t want to ‘waste’ my money on items that I wouldn’t use, but I still count those stores as part of the project because I spent $150ish in total.

#1 - Pages Bookstore.
They’re closing. boo.
I bought stuff from them a few weeks ago.

#2 - The Outer Layer.
love that store! (I’ve mentioned that before… )

#3 - Arton Crafts Inc

Arton Crafts is a retail/wholesale bead supply shop.
I’m a fan because they seem to have some of the lowest prices and best selection around.
I also like the fact that they have completely divided up their one store into two separate stores. (separate entrances and everything.)
The one side has semi-precious beads/jewels and delicate things, and the other side has more of the wooden beads, which I’m a fan of.
actually, here are some pictures of today’s purchase:

I’ll post pictures if I end up making anything out of them! I tend to buy beads and then just look at them…

#4 - Type Bookstore
In a fan of the decor of this store:

(pics are from a while ago)

#5 - The Paper Place
How can you not love an entire store dedicated to paper?
