Bicycle Clips

Several years ago I was sent some information in the mail by a friend and the paperclip holding the materials together was shaped like a waving hand.  It was a bright yellow hand with rounded little fingers and something about it has always made me smile.  

It sits in my dish of paperclips, and although all it does is get in the way and have other regular paperclips get tangled in it, I just cannot part with it because it makes me smile.

I found some bicycle shaped clips the other day and with summer now here I thought they would be great not just for holding paperwork together but also as a bookmark for a lazy beach day of reading!

Mirrors

This spring has been busy and I have been traveling quite a bit with stops in South Carolina, Arizona and Missouri within the last six weeks.  Travel always involves eating out either in groups or, often when on business travel, alone.  Last weekend I was alone eating some amazing barbeque in Kansas City, and after I finished I was searching my bag for a small mirror to just check my face and teeth for stray food.  Well I came up empty!

With the summer arriving I figured there are plenty of people who can use a small mirror to check to make sure they got sunblock on correctly, or don't have a sunburn or don't have barbeque in their teeth!
