I found this can o' pumpkin stranded on the 'one man's trash is another man's treasure' shelf in the basement of my building. It was full & factory sealed at the time, but I was super obsessed with the one pie concept and the vintage graphics, so I had to take it. It remained in my cupboard until I needed to feed the puppy, Tater Tot a … [Read more...]
