The Tuesday Song of the Way

I was gonna do the Frankie Laine version of this song, until I heard it.  Too fraught.

So I found this other version by Dean Martin.  Dino didn't know fraught from a cord'a wood, as my hubbage would say.

Any day now, you're going to begin shopping for Christmas/Hanukkah/Festivus gifts.

In my experience, and in the experience of other women, men are kinda difficult to shop for.

However, what almost all guys love is cars.

And, oh boy, do we have automotive-ally related merchandise!!!

As you all probably know by now, the watermarks are only here

to protect YOU from flying monkeys.  There are no watermarks on 

on the actual items.

The Tuesday Song of the Week

I'm all kinds of surprised that it's taken me this long to post this as a Tuesday Song of the Week, since it's one of my favorite songs:

'Peg' - Steely Dan

me me me

I spend my blogging time showing you all kinds of awesome must-have must-haves.

But of all the images on the must-have must-haves, my favorite is...

This one, shown here on a jigsaw puzzle

and on a tote bag

and on a clock

I am not a circus fan.  Went to the circus twice as a kid, and found it to be sad and kinda sleazy both times.

Nor am I a fan of clowns.

But what could be cuter than a clown taking his bow along with his dressed animal associates?

Not hardly anything.

For a limited time only

Did you know I have an eBay store?

Well, I do.

UPDATE October 15, 2018.  What's below has all sold.  But I figured you'd still like to look.  

We got...

a whole bunch of antique cigar bands, in seventeen different cigar brands.

With the multiples of some of the brands, you'd be getting over 60 (or, if you prefer, over sixty) neato cigar bands for your collection, or for crafting.  

a BEAUTIFUL pair of Ferragamo loafers, size 8 B

Lucy: The Bittersweet Life of Lucille Ball

This is a rare, hard-to-find bio, and a great addition to your Lucy collection.

The Tuesday Song of the Week

Sometimes I hear songs for the first time in the oddest of places.  

Like shopping in a Salvation Army store.

Or hearing it on the beach.

The following I heard from a friend's car cassette player a hundred years ago:

'Friday I'm in Love' - The Cure

October's new vintage ties for guhROOVY guys

As ever and always, we have some must-haves.

As ever and always, we also have a watermark, which is not on the actual ties, but which is essential for protecting YOU from flying monkeys.

Now let's see 'em !!

Astonishingly novel

and kinda transgressive, but in a good way.

======================================================================= 

A tie that speaks for itself

 =======================================================================

Classy AND tomato-ey

Check out the New (old) 1960s Pontiac Bonneville !!
