Well... I will tell you what I know...
1. The Life Aquatic was a movie by one of Kacie's favorite directors, Wes Anderson. He also made Royal Tenenbaums another one of Kacie's favorite movies
2. The yellow metal Baltimore is Best pin I believe was a gift for Kacie from Vince from years and years ago. He found it at a thrift store. I am actually wearing that pin in a picture with Kacie on the jetty. I really liked it and she let me borrow it that day.
3. old 45 rpm record covers-1 is blue and reads Honor Roll Of Hits 1940 and the other is pink and 1932
I was with Kacie when she purchased these. She bought them at a used record store in Arbutus. She really just liked the cover art on them and no matter where she lived she had them up on the wall or displayed somewhere. She did have the records for them too but I am not sure where they went. She probably took them out to hang them on the wall.
4. The little kids watch- she always had that watch in her little accesories organizer... I think she use to wear it in her teen days. Kacie never got rid of anything. She kept things for ever and ever.
5. an ink stamp that leaves a circular impressions of many flowers - this was the stamp that we used for Kacie's wedding favors. We made name tags and the favors were tea bags. On the teabag it had a card attached to the string with the name of the tea. It was called something about love.... It was a rooibos tea that Kacie bought from Teavana in the columbia mall. She bought the loose tea by the pound. It was beautiful tea with all different colors and it had rosebuds in it. She thought it was perfect as a wedding gift.
6. All the other things you listed I remember seeing but I don't know the story behind some of them. Kacie loved antique and thrift shopping and we collected a many a knick knacks together throughout the years.
7. As for the sunglasses... Kacie had a ton of really big sunglasses... we sometimes would buy the same ones together. I have a few pics of us in matching sunglasses some that we found at thrift stores... which was really cool because how often do you find 2 of something at a thrift store... we also had bought a pair of "elvis" sunglasses from the dollar store that I sware had a prescription in them or something because everytime I wore them I felt dizzy. haha Kacie always lost or broke her sunglasses and was constantly replacing them. We also bought sunglasses at Nordstroms a lot because they had a big table of them for only $10 a pop. She never bought expensive sunglasses because she knew she would lose them or break them at some point.
the piggy key chain and key are actually to my old house. i completely forgot that she still had them! she took care of my cat once while i was away and i gave her the key so that she could get in. i wanted to put a fun keychain on there so that she wouldn't lose it or forget which one was mine, so i found the pig. he lights up and oinks when you press the button on top. she thought it was hilarious and never gave it back...key and all! i figured there were worse things than kacie having a key to my house.
i have been going through looking at some of the latter blogs posted since i don't look at them all too often. it's not that i don't care to read them, sometimes it just hurts. at any rate i saw your post gary with your list of items you had questions about. the Baltimore is Best pin was a gift i gave kacie. i found it in a antique shop in e.c. kacie and i used to go walk around there a lot and look through the various antique shops. i can't remember exactly, and i hate to admit it, but i might have actually gotten it for her the old five finger discount method. not that i am a thief by nature, but sometimes poor college kids have to resort to desperate measures. i also hocked the old antique mirror she had and liked so much, which i now have. i honestly felt really bad for doing it, but i knew how much she wanted it. on another note, yes kacie really liked the Royal Tenenbaums. i can only assume that margo and royal her two cats were named after margo and royal tenenbaum, two characters from that movie.
