It would've been NQF if only I'd seen it on my way home: a boat shaped ceramic

Sometimes you need a belt. 
Sometimes you need a belt because you are wearing your awesome lightweight travel pants that happen to be a bit too big because you bought them a few years ago when you were doing serious pilates everyday and your thighs were super developed but now your more sedentary job and the fact that those pilates videos somehow disappeared from netflix means you don't do pilates, but you still don't want your pants to fall down.

So you go into a Goodwill during your stopover on the west coast to look for a cheap belt and of course you have to look in the housewares section to see what donated items look like in this city.
Then among the miscellaneous mis-matched odds and ends stacked on wire shelves in the back
you
find
this...

 

 It is beautiful, it is boat-shaped, it has a glaze of blue and earth tones....
 and yes it has a giant candle in it but that could be removed.

An extremely amateur cut-n-paste of my vision of this ceramic as a planter featuring some kalanchoe.




It could have been a planter. It could have been mine.
I could have bought it from the Goodwill for only $5.99.
But I was flying in the opposite direction from home, so I didn't.
I hope you sailed on to a happy home oh little boat-shaped ceramic.  

The pink D-ring belt and I had a good trip.

Happy thrifting and not-quite-freestyling.
