This is my 475th post since starting this blog in March. Leave a comment between now & my 500th post and you will be entered into a drawing for various prizes. The only catch is that in order to be entered, I ask you to leave a link to a funky find in your comment. I think this will be a great way for readers to help spread the word about indie artists & crafters, as well as cool companies, that they know of. And this will also be a way for me to show my appreciation to my loyal readers! So stop lurking & start commenting. Thanks everyone!
I hope this find has not been listed here before.
