In the constant pursuit of inspiration...

My Crazy schedule has found me up in Seattle for 48 hours and I tucked into Antiques at Pike Place for a little treasure hunting with Cory. We did a quick lap and saw the usual vintage pictures, pins, perfume bottles and overpriced fragments of a bygone era. I think I was more stoked with the view from the front door than the treasures to be found inside. That was, until I rounded the bend for the door and saw Don Blanding glowing from a table below (literally, check out the gold foil cover). A long time Blanding fan, I was stoked to take a quick flip only to discover it's signed on the inside cover...I can't make out the name, but in the classic spirit of Dan Blanding, the inscription reads, "Aloha..Happy Days, Don Blanding...Oct 3rd, 1955." The best part??? This little beauty only cost me 11 bucks!!! I would have paid so much more...
