Kitschy Retro Ceramic Broccoli Wall Pocket Sigma

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=005&item=4451899929

It's a kitschy wall pocket shaped like broccoli, for your retro kitchen.

Who knew that vintage broccoli could be so funky?

Weird Wednesday Item #1

The "CANNISTER CANISTER SET POP ART RETRO PSYCHEDELIC 1960'S"

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=005&item=330017231156

Perfect for your kitchen. IF you're Anita Bryant or on acid, or if you're Anita Bryant on acid, that is.

"This rare vintage set of 4 canisters are graduated metal globes in bright orange  ~ a very popular color in the psychedelic '60's"

Heavy hallucinogenic drug use is probably the only reason it was a very popular color in the "psychedelic '60's".

"This set makes a strong decorative statement and are useful too!  No one will have these but you!!!"

That's because no one will want them but you.

 

This is even MORE traumatizing!

Admit it - you've watched it more than once, haven't you?

Traumatize Your Child for Life!

Send them to school wearing one of these on their first day! Guaranteed to make them easily recognizable, and designate them as the child to be picked on throughout their school years!

 

Thanks all!

Thanks all! I just sent it in to eBay as a suggestion, along with a suggestion to add a "Blog this item" link, similar to the "Watch this item" link, on the item listing page.

How much you wanna bet I get another smile from hopkinsinvestments? :-)

Something That Makes No Sense

Unless I'm missing it entirely, why is there no link to my blog on the "My eBay" page? If updating my blog is going to rely on me having to find it everyday, it might be weeks or even months between updates! :-)

Welcome!

Welcome to "As the Rose Wilts - The eBay Chronicles". In case you're wondering about the name, my main blog on blogger is entitled As the Rose Wilts, and I decided to use my eBay blog here as a spin-off, devoted entirely to my life on eBay.

In addition to writing about stuff I have for sale, I'll also be featuring some of the really weird stuff I find here.
