pez paper cranes



Folded with white paper and the word "Saturday" written on them. I wanted to take a photo inside but felt awkward in such a tight space. The Pez Museum in Burlingame, California is definitely a unique place.

drug free paper cranes

Folded with pages in a mailer I received from my employer today. Topic: A drug free workplace. I don't have an issue with substance abuse. Mailing these out to employees once a year is a requirement by law for government agencies. One odd thing I noticed, cigarettes and coffee were not listed in the manual. The one on the left was first printed in 1995.

These are the ones I have not recycled or given away yet.
