STUFF (now with pic)

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Oh! Things!

I have just returned from a spur-of-the-moment trip to ValVill where I found an item that is both AMAZING and INCREDIBLY USELESS at the SAME TIME. I love it.

First, I have to drag it out of the car. Then, take pics and post. EEeek!

 *dance of excitement*

ETA:

 vintage toboggan

This very vintage toboggan cost me ten bucks.

The thing weighs a ton.

All it needs is a little wax on the bottom and we’re ready. For next winter:)

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
