The New Thing in Life that Makes Me Happy

are these hands. I found them in a Chinese antique store in Chinatown. Everything in the store was 50% (so these were S$10 - in USD $7.50) for a limited time only. When I asked the sales lady how long her sale was, she said, "Until Christmas."
At home I have an odd collection of doll hands and feet that freaks out my husband. These hands are growing on him, and I often find them arranged in various positions. They are just the right amount of cool and creepy. I keep hoping I'll find more things like this in my explorations of the city and I probably will in some of our travels, but in Chinatown it is rather a challenge. I mean, a little Chinatown in your house can be nice (the dishes, Chinese silk pajamas, even a kimono, a nice pair of chopsticks) and some of the kitsch can be cool in the right house (those weird plastic cats that wave their paws), but dear god, I fear the house that was furnished only out of Chinatown.
