a mystery key
Somebody forgot this key with a heart-shaped key-chain at our hotel. It reads something in russia on the heart, but no one acclaimed it even though we asked all russian clients by e-mail. No reason to keep.

An old Nokia mobile charger
Should not do this - i will probably immediatly loose my iphone and be forced to get some replacing mobile and will miss this charger. But guess what, i like living on the egde.

A coffee brewing thingy from the past
We drink instant coffee. We dream of drinking lattes made of self pressed espresso. Which ever way, we don't need this. I have been planning to take it to my parents summer house, but now it's autumn again and i don't want to have it around for an other 8 months. Bye bye.

A green bee trap for garden
I bought this as a present for my friends summer house. It is like a little fat bottle (with a cork and a string for hanging) but the bottom is open for bees and flies to fly in. Something sweet like honey should be put inside as a come-on. Why didn't i give it to my friend (and why don't i keep it my self)? Well, when we arrived at their summerhouse, it wasn't one of those laid back mix'n'match places (like 80 % of finnish summer houses) but a strictly periodical early 1920s villa. I immediately realized that this gift was not for them, and handed out the other bottle we had brought them - knowing that champange is always welcome, almost-nice-pieces not.

an other broken keychain
It was a key chain, but ain't no more. Sorry to loose it, it was a souvenir my boyfriend brought me from a business trip. Our son would love to play with it, but one of the button eyes dropped of already, and we all know how tasty those are.

A retro lamp
I like this quirky lamp shade in bright yellow. It has clip so it can be attached to the bed end or book shelf. The hat is put on the bulb, and the whole thing is kinda cute and very retro. But as it is, i'm over that retro thing both at home and at summer cabin (which would have the old fashioned plugs this lamp requires, though). So the lamp is off to the flea market – or local charity shop if i get too lazy.

An old cake pan
I actually bought this baking thing myself quite recently from a flea market, maybe half an year ago in the spring. I think i had been reading glossy decoration magazines again, probably i thought that herbs growing in an old pan would look very nice in our garden too. Well, i have had my chance to do it, but didn't and probably never will. So the pan must go - not to the trash, but to flea market again.

A glass with seagull prints
We got four glasses and a matching jug from my boyfriend's parents, i think. I never liked them and planned to forward them to the local charity shop. Didn't get to do it, and now all but one are broken, so i will trash the last remaining one to the glass recycling bin.

A green lipstick that turns pink when applied
I got this non-item from my parents as a souvenir from Turkey. Why - i really can't tell. My sister and brother (!) got ones too. Probably some skilled vendor mesmerized my slightly drunken parents under the magical stars of the semi-orient or something. We all applied it on a family dinner and it was hysterical as everybody looked like homespun trannies as the green turned to the ugliest pinkish red you can imagine. Well, it was fun, i think the actual present was the laughter - and so i can ditch the bitch stick with a clear conscience.

a broken donut keychain
This rubber donut used to be on the keychain of our one room hotel. Now it's broken but i have kept it because maybe our 11 month old son might want to play grocery store one day. Stupid reason, the donut must go.
