Lollishops Might be for you if...

Many of you know about the new Selling Venue Lollishops. Its a wonderful new site dedicated to showcasing a often overlooked and hidden craft/talent.

If the thought of a flea market, estate sale, thrift store or Mrs. Jones' rummage sale, gets your blood flowing , gives your salivary glands a check , has you collecting any and all coins in sight, turning hubbys pants pockets inside out and pushing back sofas with the strength of Superman searching for loose change because they "don't take the card". Then Lollishops is definitely for you!



So put on your best fuzzy, comfy shoes and lounging gown, grab a friend and get ready for the "Best Virtual Shabby Sale Ever!"

Thrift Store Find!!


This is a beautiful vintage ( 80's radio) I found at a local thrift store. Its pink! What comes to mind? Cindi Lauper? Roxanne, Roxanne? Darryl and Oates(?) ? I know one of them did:} it works great and was only $1.15! (1/2 off coupon) Obviously no one but me would appreciate a find like this because I saw it at the store not once but twice (the first times I had on my logical thinking cap- the you don't really need this one) and the third time I grabbed it and never looked back! Now I'm on the hunt for more tapes to help me create in my studio what Louie Armstrong, (check), Ink Spots, (check), Rudy Vallee and his Gentleman Songsters (check)! Hey if you create with vintage emphemera, its only right to submerge yourself totally down to the checkered knickers and specs!;)
