The owners of these objects convey their excitement in short, often poignant essays that invite readers to participate in the enjoyable act of interpreting things.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67760838050080,"sku":"NEW1568986904","price":27.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/614klay8RHL.jpg?v=1791959597","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/taking-things-seriously-75-objects-with-unexpected-significance-1568986904","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
