Movie Goer's Emergency Kit

For those who just can't wait until intermission -
Ok, we admit, it's a little wacky, but it never fails to bring a smile to a cinephile. Yup, real popcorn, painstakingly installed inside a 4.5 cc capacity bottle (just don't ask how.) Each one unique (sorta like snowflakes, but better with butter...)

Bottled Dungeness Crab Claw and Leg

Ever wonder what those delectable crustaceans do with their exoskeleton parts when they molt? Ok, me neither. But if I was given to such random musings, I might find this to be the answer. (Ok, it's not quite like grandma putting up this year's batch of pickled okra, but still looks pretty interesting.
Definitely more so than the okra......)

Each item is the genuine article (Metacarcinus magister fighting claw and leg), collected from a Northern California beach and painstakingly dried, installed in a borosilicate glass (think 'Pyrex') vial, stoppered with a silicone rubber stopper and then sealed with aluminum & plastic seal (the very same way that vaccines are packaged - small wonder, when you consider that these are surplus vaccine vials, stoppers and seals.)
We'll even toss in a couple of extra aluminum seals, just in case you want to open them up and, well, do whatever you want and then re-seal them. Once.

These are ready for you to wire up into jewelry, display along with your other specimens or just use them to
freak out your kid sister.

Since there are several sets of these (and I don't want to have to photograph each and every single doggone pair of them) the ones that you get may vary ever so slightly from what is pictured here. Let's face it, they're grown, not manufactured, and, as such, each one is unique. For darned sure, though, the
sets are tough to tell apart.

 

Honestly, absolutely no crabs were harmed in the collection of these specimens. They were willingly discarded by the cooperative crustacea (which are not even close to being endangered, even by garlic and butter), and were not subjected to any undue persuasion, duress, cajoling or bribery.
As pictured above (but without the quarter, sorry.)

Poppies! A Trio of Paranoia Poppies

Fresh from our tropical wiseacreage at Pa'ranoia Farms ("Home of the Sweaty Palms") , these poppies are the ultimate in low maintenance.
Bright, cheery color all year, too!

If your friends are suggesting that you are having paranoid delusions, you can add these guys to your garden and - voila! - they're not just delusions anymore!
You really are being watched! It's like instant mental health, wow!

Hand made from Venetian glass in our studios deep beneath Downtown California, these watchful blossoms are unique, and resemble our State Flower.
Worked in a four-thousand degree flame, the glass is fused directly onto a 1/16" thick stainless steel stem and is great indoors or out in the garden. Kiln-annealed overnight for durability, any stress in the glass is gently removed.
The stems are 8" long, and the blossoms, in several variations of orange, are approximately 1" in diameter.

This trio of cheery flowers is painstakingly wrapped in bubble wrap (so you can de-stress by popping it after unpacking - why do you think that they call them 'poppies'....?) and shipped via First Class mail in a durable tube.
Sorry, the quarter isn't included.

Huh?!?
   

Just What The Heck Are Those......?

Well, as we understand it, these are 'stents,' which is a medical device used to help keep arteries open (but I don't think that the guy that sold them to us was using them for that. We sure hope not, anyway; it was pretty dark in that alleyway.......)
Anyways, the little silvery thing is a sort of mesh tube (stainless steel, we're told) which could make an interesting jewelry component. We bought them because of the cool llittle vial and stopper, but we're tossing in some little corks along with them just for fun.
Important: these are not to be used as a medical device - and no fair using them on your kid brother....
