Yes!I love the tin frog, so cute! The lamp cost $300? Is that a magic lamp or what? The scissors looks like for herb, my friend has just like it.

I always love your Swap Meet post. Thank you for shopping and posting.

Correction; I meant to say $2 scissors has multiple blades is for herb. I have no idea what the round scissors is for. Let me know if you find the answer. Thanks.

Could the circle-scissors be a can crusher? This is my first time ever seeing that.

J .... the circular scissors with da teeth is for opening a soft boiled egg. sit the egg up right, small point up and lower the scissors till they stop, then squeeze the teeth out. the top of the egg can then be cracked in and easy to take off. Insert spoon to scoop out the egg and eat.

The shredder like scissors is for cutting nori for garnish, you can use it for nori on your ramen, somen, etc.
