A Big Straw Sun Hat

The first straw sun hat I got was from a gas station outside of Palm Springs next to a roadside dinosaur. It’s one of my most prized possessions and started to ware down. I wood glued it many times but finally found a replacement on in the grocery store in Delaware on vacation. I can’t recommend the hat section at a gas station, rest stop or grocery store more. You get a great hat and a memory all in one.

Visual research with no ads and strangers wormholes. Tabs be damned.

Fuji DL Super Mini (Tiara) Camera

I was looking for a pocket size camera and this one delivers. It’s nicknamed the sardine camera because it’s the size of a sardine can and I really love it. I had luck getting one off EBay. There’s lots of knowledgeable camera sellers on there and it will likely come straight from Japan. I got mine pre-tariffs though…

Harold and the Purple Crayon - Crockett Johnson

A perfect picture book. Has been a favorite since my childhood and even inspired a small live puppet performance version that I still dream about remounting.
