Here's the thing: I've noticed that I've been kind of overloading on the exclamation points in my posts lately. And my feeling is that that really should be a problem for a blog named after a totally different punctuation mark.

So, in that spirit, I went on an Etsy hunt for objects that could in no way inspire an exclamation from me. Enjoy 'em. Or don't. But see if these sad saps don't strangely make you smile as much as I did.

(And don't think for a MINUTE that I didn't almost place an exclamation point on that last sentence.) (Or that one either.)
