"Pervertibles"

[csr]

I've been collecting toys for a while, but some of my absolute favourites are ones that were either home-made, or pervertibles. This little wooden spatuala called out to use one day in the grocery store. You can't really tell in the picture, but it has really nice wood grain. AND it was $4.97!
The fly swatter was a good deal too--a whole dollar (CDN, so about $.31 US, lol). It's much longer than most fly swatters, and...um, well, I like it.
The flogger is made simply from a piece of dowel, one screw 'eye' and some leather lace. Put together in a few minutes, costing very little, but compact, sting-y, and extremely durable. I've spent wasted money on expensive stuff that sits in the closet and yet these three items get, um, lots of use.
