twin towers

i was shooting some still life the other day.
afterwards i left the lights set up to shoot a few items that were kicking
around on my shelves. like this little thing...

...a souvenir from new york a few years ago

no matter where i travel to, i do like to buy a cheap-ass souvenir.

did i mention i'm off to thailand in a little week or so ?
hmmm... i wonder what the thai equivalent of this twin towers ornament is ?

angel of guadalupe

another item kicking around on a shelf at whitfield towers is this

it's about 5 inches high

a fire-king mcdonalds mug. i bought this one from a summer fete at

exmouth market a few years ago and last year i bought two more from ebay.

very nice quality.

a mini cup noodle mug from japan. it also has a ceramic lid... perfect.

another fire-king mug which i bought off ebay when i was searching for 

mcdonalds mugs. fire-king mugs are amazing quality and a lot of diners

in the usa use them because they're so hard wearing.

this one as you can see is from a place called 'king sirloin'

of course my favourite mug had to be from god's own country.

i bought this from a shop in aberystwyth maybe 4 years ago.

i should point out that it was raining i was there...

maybe i visited on the one day of the year when the sun wasn't blazing ?

chip fork

i've had this for ages, though i've never had the front to pull it out at a chip shop.

a silver plated chip fork... not bad !
