When I was a kid, I loved Halloween. Creating a costume was so much fun! I don’t know if they sold costumes back then, but no one I knew ever bought one. It makes me sad now that kids don’t get to go all over the place trick-or-treating like we did. I would carry a [...]
Beginning today, I will be featuring a website each Thursday. I am beginning with the sites I link to from Creative Clown. If you’d like me to link to your site or blog, leave me a comment and I’ll check it out. I will be focusing on sites that fit in with my interests and [...]

Jewelry Insight is software that helps you [...]

Okay, this picture has nothing to do with thrift stores or swaps. But it’s a good depiction of how I feel when I get cool stuff at the thrift store.
When I wrote this post I got responses from people who shared what they love to find at thrift stores. Wouldn’t it be great if we [...]
