My Etsy shop is back up!! If you don't know about my Etsy shop, I sell cool things that I've picked up at estate sales. And I have so many cool things right now!
And even better, I'm running a sale. From today until May 2, the entire shop is 25% off!! I'm trying to clear up some stuff for spring cleaning. So please take a look at my shop to see if there's anything that interests you.
