    Description

    I started to list this ceramic cowboy hat but he just looked so bland, what with being beige against a beige top-sheet background.  So, I pondered him from a distance when, all of a sudden, all the items appearing in the last photograph, the 'group photo', began to wander in and pose with THE HAT.  I KNEW these needful things talked and played at night when the consignment shop owners went home--knew it!
    So, they're all lonely and you need more stuff.
    Hat on scales
    Hat with a tape measure
    Hat with something old, something new, and a brass screw driver
    Hat with a vintage pair of scissors with leather case, a part of a belt buckle, a circular do-dad, and a new-in-the-box screw thread pitch gauge
    Hat with an L. L. Bean shoe horn, a finial off an old lamp, and an acorn-shaped steeping vessel which doubles as a potpourri pot
    Hat with a picture of yours truly, a weird metal brush, a half-sucked breath mint from the pocket of a sport coat I bought at a thrift store, and a tiny rubbery unicorn, which, all by itself, is worth the price of admission.  Hat got jealous for a moment, want squash pony.  Chill.
    Hat with adhesive Deer Warning whistles for your car or truck, and an unidentified ?brass? tool.  It looks as if it hangs from the thingy, and that it was probably part of an 'assembly line', prolly to crimp pipe.  I couldn't get the inebriated yard-sale lady to see what I meant by that educated guess.  Hilarious.
    Hat with blue ashtray which is marked Oakland Pottery, Ramseur, NC., a rusty shoe horn, another picture of yours truly but this time in near-orgasmic delight while being bathed in a rubber dish tub as an infant, and a big hunk of clear glass.
    Hat with two different types of clothing brushes and Mustang ?trading cards???
    Hat with a 'wine' coffee mug, two Red Solo Cups posing as shot-glasses, a silverplate baby cup, a possibly-sterling teething ring with pearly ring, ceramic figurine of dolphins, and the asparagus apparatus with a hole on one half for a thumb and two holes on the other half for index- and middle-fingers.  The two halves are hinged and it works like tweezers for your asparagus.  You're welcome.
    Hat and friends in a group photo.
    I'm going to bed.  This stuff better be gone when I get up in the morning.
