Well, I held my annual yard sale for the second time this year, and let me tell you, it was not the success I imagined it would be. While people literally fought over my 15″ widescreen TV (actually just a regular TV with a “letterbox” frame glued to the face of it), a lot of other items remained unsold. Some of these items are one-of-kind objects that I created myself. Others are just rare finds that I no longer have room for. If you’re interested in any of the following, please leave a comment and an e-mail address where you can be contacted. Thanks.

That’s about it. Let me know if you’re interested in anything. Oh, and In case you’re wondering why the headband is so cheap, it’s been previously worn. But not as a headband.
