Just two to mention, both in Nixa.- 920 N. Meadow Street--Looks like there could be a few pieces of neat vintage clothing and loads of miscellaneous.
- 962 Butterfield--A stocked linen closet with quilts, Silver sets, and dishes. Apparently the address had been entered incorrectly (why couldn't you fix it?) so, per instructions, follow the Circle of Life Estate sale signs. They are a green circle with red lettering.
I was hung up on this photo during my daily gander of Apartment Therapy. Something seemed familiar about that list, and when I read it, I was thinking, "How funny, Springfield has an FM Store that I go to all the time." Then I realized Springfield has all of the things on the list, and that's because the writer lives in Springfield! Rachel Denbow writes Smile and Wave. See her blog and marvel at the wonderful vintage finds in her 1000th post!
I literally have bushels of fonts downloaded on my personal computer to use for fun projects like flyers and for more serious stuff like my resume. The biggest problem with having so many neato fonts is sending a document to someone who doesn't have neato fonts. You may not even realize what the document you formatted so nicely looks like when a prospective client/boss opens it up on a computer that does not have Aubrey, or Swenson, or Honey Script. A mess! That's what it looks like. That computer will replace the beautiful font you've selected with someone that comes standard, so if you've resized and placed your font just so, it's not likely to look anything like that on the other end.That's why you need a--ta da!--PDF creator. This one was recommended by the computer guy at my corporate office. It is free and easy to use. Just download, then select it as your printer. Select Print and it will create a PDF version of your document be it a Photoshop, Office, or whatever sort of file. Or, if you have the full Adobe Acrobat Pro you can select Create PDF, then From File, and presto! Now you can send anyone a tidy version of your document with all of your fonts just the way you wanted them.

This weekend I'll post an idea for using fonts to decorate candleholders!
Today my friend Erika, with whom I take accounting and stats, told me about a delicious site, FredFlare.com. I only had a few minutes before class, but right off the bat found this super mega-awesome ice cream cone lamp that I think is making it's way onto my Christmas list. I don't know where it will go in my house, but it's just the sort of thing I love. Browse the store to find oodles of items from cupcake flavored floss to a light-up Christmas tree made from a computer motherboard to temporary mustache tattoos.Search for "cupcakes" to see an amazing selection of cupcake items including a kitchen timer, beanie, band aids, ear buds, and Christmas ornaments.
