The Stash, by Squirrel

03/04/2026

Some days the universe drops something on your table that makes you stop and stare for a minute.
Today it was two beautiful vintage cameras.
One is a classic Rolleiflex twin-lens, the kind of camera that helped define mid-century photography. The other is a vintage Argus 35mm, the kind of camera that probably photographed road trips, birthdays, and someone’s dad proudly standing next to a brand new car in 1958.
I love pieces like this because they aren’t just objects.
They’re little mechanical time machines.
These will be cleaned up, photographed properly, and listed soon in The Stash.
If you’re a vintage camera collector, film photography nerd, or just someone who appreciates beautiful old gear… keep an eye out.
These two are pretty special.
Coming soon. 📸

Oh… well this is kinda neat.
Etsy sent me a little note saying I’m a Star Seller this month.
I mean… I just pack the orders, print the labels, and run to the post office like everybody else 😅
But apparently if you ship on time, answer messages, and don’t act feral with customer service for three months straight… they give you a purple star.
Who knew.
Two years selling tumblers and never saw that badge. So this one feels… special. Quietly special.
Thank you to everyone who’s bought something, left a review, or shared the shop. Y’all are the real MVPs. I’m just over here taping boxes.

Alright, that’s enough bragging for one day. I’m gonna go print labels like nothing happened.

The algorithm doesn’t run cadence.
It just stands there.
Watching.
2,475 listings deep and apparently I’m on the chain gang.

I blinked and somehow baby UGGs ended up in my hands.
Spa treatment complete.
Sorry, not for sale.
They were spoken for before I hit the parking lot.
Speed is everything.

📹 Canon FS100 48X Digital Video Camcorder
Comes with the BP808 battery
48X Advanced Zoom
NTSC model
This little silver time machine is ready for: – YouTube nostalgia vibes
– Filming your kid’s chaotic living room concert
– Capturing evidence when your dog absolutely did steal the sandwich
– Or that “I’m starting a documentary” phase we all go through at least once
It’s compact. It’s legit Canon. It’s giving early 2000s home video energy and I’m not mad about it.
If you’ve been hunting for a solid camcorder without selling a kidney, here you go:

And yes… I have more treasures hiding in The Stash. You know I do.
Who’s filming what first?

I picked up this doll and immediately heard the song
🎶 “Baby got Back…” 🎶
Because tell me why this tiny plastic diva is built like she’s hauling a V8 back there.
MGA really said
✨ big eyes
✨ tiny waist
✨ dump truck confidence
Meanwhile I eat one tortilla and my jeans file a complaint with HR.
She’s headed for a spa day and a hair detangle, but the attitude?
Factory installed.
Anybody else feel personally attacked by fashion dolls or is it just me? 😏

Bins Gonna Bin strikes again…
So I just got into traveling journals.
Like just dipped my toe in. New hobby smell still on it.
Tell me why I hit the bins today and the universe said,
“Oh you’re serious? Cool, here.”
And dropped a junk traveling journal from 2013 into my cart.
Not blank.
Not new.
A journal that has already BEEN ON A JOURNEY.
Out of literal mountains of stuff… the exact niche thing I just started loving finds me.
At this point I’m convinced I don’t choose hobbies.
The bins assign them.
Either this is destiny
or I’ve been officially recruited by the Traveling Journal Sisterhood and there’s no backing out now.
Bins magic is real and a little unhinged.
Anyone else get finds that feel way too on-the-nose for your life lately? 👀

People ask what I collect, so here’s my unhinged résumé:
Bibles
Buttons
Build-A-Bears that are naked, mismatched, or down to one shoe like they lost custody in the breakup
And Pikachus that have seen things and need emotional support
Your turn. What odd little treasures are you hoarding?
