My mission, given to me by Banjo Man, was to find a holder for a package of hand wipes and a very small, very narrow basket for their disposal.

For the outhouse.

At the cabin.

Up on the mountain.

My favorite antique shop is located conveniently next to the Pie Hut, so before meeting a friend for lunch a couple of weeks ago, I browsed through aisles of “stuff”.

So much stuff.

Having spent over three months this past winter getting rid of “stuff” in my basement, there was nothing on the shelves or hanging from the ceiling that appealed to me. Absolutely nothing. BUT I had to find something suitable for the outhouse, for the sake of cleanliness.

As you see in the photo above, I found the perfect holder. Ugly, bent, chipped and overpriced, but still…I know my husband would love it. Just to be sure, I texted him a photo.

While I was enjoying a piece of pie next door, he texted me back and said it was perfect.

I also found another ugly, bent and overpriced object:

Yes, this is a mini gold waste basket.

I told Banjo Man they were early Father’s Day gifts. He was thrilled and the next morning drove off to the cabin to install them.

He sent me pictures.

Welcome.

Such an improvement over 2022’s version:
