Lucky Chips

One set of four lucky chips for casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada. They all range from USD5 to USD1,000,000.

.

But unfortunately, these are of no value at the casinos. But to a fridge magnet collector, these are priceless!

Another entry meant for miramagnetic.blogspot.com. Izwan went to San Francisco, bought Ghirardelli square chocolates and travel all over town using the cable cars. Oh yes, he also bought this fridge magnet for me. This is a rather old one, since this is from his trip way back in 2009.

This is what I miss most now that Izwan seldom gets assignments in USA is Ghirardelli chocolate squares!

Love All Over New York

New York is a wonderful city. I think Izwan had quite a good time during his work assignment there last year. Walks at Central Park etc.

*grins at a personal joke*

.

He brought home quite a number of fridge magnets.

.

.

I am always amazed with beautiful NY pictures, esp night time snapshots.

.

.

But this one, is totally mine and I love it!

Fresh Fish, Anyone?

.

One can get fresh fish from Pike Market Place. But one gotta be in Seattle. Me, well, a fridge magnet depicting the market is enough to make me a happy woman!

.

It was opened in 1907 (as one can read from the pig picture on the magnet) and they had quite a celebration for its 100th anniversary.

Penny Is Lucky

Izwan got this lucky penny fridge magnet in San Francisco. It says "I spent time on Alcatraz". Can u imagine if he had taken his SLR to San Francisco? I bet the pictures are going to be far better than the ones he took; and those are already in the "good pictures" category.

Black Pepper San Francisco Crab

.

.

Oh my oh my.

.

I remember my reaction when I first looked at it.

Jaw dropped, picked it up to the floor; re-attached to face.

This one is awesome.

I repeat: awesome.

With all the detailing. It is a darn pretty crab, I tell ya. Available only in San Francisco. At the Fisherman's Wharf. You know, place where you can smell all the sealions from 3 miles away. Heh. Not that I've been there.
