Sweetdaddy... your drawings (in lieu of digital photos) remind me of that Citibank commercial where the guy is at his desk at the office and the pictures on his desk of his family are really just clear frames with his actual family posing behind the frames. The tagline is "Can't wait to get your reward?" with an image of a digital camera in the background of the commercial.
Looks like you can't wait to get yours either!

I feel like the kid who sent away his boxtops for a decoder ring and is bugging the mailman every day... Is it here yet? Is it here yet?

Pepe - Love those Salt & Peppers! I personally would have no use for them, yet would be unable to keep myself from buying them.
Now my eBay tip #12 - Charles Wysocki jigsaw puzzles.
Folk-art jigsaw puzzles turn up at garage sales every weekend. Two years ago, you could buy them without a second look and turn them around for good money on eBay. Nowadays, however, you have to be more selective. Check the date on the box. Any puzzles from the 1990s and 2000s are better left alone. You can't get more than a buck or two apiece. However, the Charles Wysocki puzzles from the 1980s are highly sought-after. Buy them without qualms. And if you happen to find one unopened, then you stand to make even more money. Here's the one I found last weekend for a buck. I'm pleased with the current bid, but it may go even higher. As they say, some people's trash...

$110 for a cheesy Charles Wysocki jigsaw puzzle that's not even 20 years old yet!? This one surprised even me. Honestly, these puzzles aren't that uncommon at garage sales and thriftstores. You might want to be on the lookout. I wonder what the early "Painter of Light" jigsaw puzzles are going for now? hmmm. (I'm such an eBay whore).

How's this for a Beyond Tiki Find? I was at work Friday and decided to get a drink from the vending machine I reached into my pocket and sorted through the change when I came across this...
...I'm not a coin collector or anyone that hardly pays attention to the change in my pocket but this is cool! Sure I happen across any occasional old wheat penny but not only have I never received one of these dimes, I've never even seen one before! I was hoping this would fund my retirement but no such luck...

Aren't Mercury dimes cool looking! Why do modern coins suck so much? Buffalo nickles, Liberty standing quarters...so much better.

I seem to have started a collection of china from defunct Canadian airlines on my trip to Vancouver last weekend.
In Red Deer I found two small oval dishes from Wardair (a charter airline based in Edmonton) ($1.49 for both), and in Kamloops I found six pieces (2 of the large and 4 of the smaller ones) from CP Air (later Canadian Airlines and ultimately taken over by Air Canada) ($2.25 for all six pieces).
Wardair logo.
I also got this lovely paint by numbers of a crying girl in Kamloops for 50¢:
