These past few days, Mike and I have popped into quite a few antique/vintage/thrift shops. We have come out empty handed, but the unusual items often prompt interesting conversations. Or in the case of of the toy periscope, we spent about ten minutes taking cool photos with it.

murder.

while in vancouver last month, i had picked up a murder mystery game from a thrift store for $5. score! so a few weeks ago, a group of my friends and i dressed up + got together to solve the murder of our college pal stephanie stephens. the game promised to be "fun and entertaining while sometimes shocking" - and OH WAS IT EVER!

dear stepanie stephens had been a sneaky lady, so all of us had good motive to kill her. however, it turned out our quiet, unassuming friend megan was the culprit! she could not have played the role of the murderer any better...

so basically, best night ever. i will now be on the constant prowl at thrift stores for murder mystery games...
