Shopaholic: things just love me & offer themselves for free!

The ''aholic'' part would be even more appropriate in this particular case...except for I didn't buy the vintage Italian 'thing' above.
I was going home after a good bear & an even better conversation with my ex Professor... and I stumbled upon this, sitting quietly by a parked car, waiting for me.
So I had to take it home and boooy, it was one heavy load to carry!!!

A note to myself: I should spend more time in sunny hot gardens in great company with a drink. Relaxing is good, once in a while...
