HOUSE OF PIE! My computer geek buddy and I used to hang out there a lot in the 90s. It wasn't just the pie, it was the sign, literally the letter pi. I saw that some years back they removed the pi. That was a sad day. But, as my calculus prof used to say, "Pi aren't squared; they are round." (I know, bad. But it was better than his lectures.)

No way!!!! Tarot twins?!?!?! That’s so cool. And yeah, we were lucky it was fairly mild (although I’d never been in one before), so we fortunately made it out ok.

I live in Florida, gulf coast area; been through my share of hurricanes. Luckily only one that was a direct hit; I'm 60 miles inland from the gulf, so yes we did receive some damage from winds but not like others areas in the state have dealt with over the years. We have one out there right now churning away, they're not sure where it's going to hit landfall, probably the pan handle, many go there. It was really crazy to hear Los Angles was going to experience one, crazy. That vintage 70's Avon set is too cute, I'm from back in that era and don't remember it, everyone bought Avon back then, it was the "in" thing. Match books, yes, I used to collect them, sent you photos a while back. They all live in a big glass jar that sits in a whicker basket. Since I was born in the 50's, when I started collecting, it wasn't frowned upon to smoke and all bars, restaurants and places gave out matchbooks for an inexpensive way to advertise. OMG - Love the baby bat tea cup, how adorable, really like that cabinet too. That tea jar/container is super cool, love it! The tarot cat card are pretty cool too! You found some pretty great treasures. Still waiting to see your spice cabinet, I love unique built in's in older places. Good video, nice to see what others treasure.
