Pay attention chilluns, because this is how it's done on the cheap.This is our glamoxurious table for LA Derby Dolls Vendor Village. Item by item:

• 4 displays built by Silent Partner consisting of 99 Cent Store badmiton rackets and plastic containers, blue-green fake fur we already had from my ill-fated art show attempt, and a bucket of plaster from Michael's.
• 4 lime green locker shelves which happened to hit the clearance table for a whopping $1 each at Staples precisely as Silent Partner and I were passing it on the way to check-out. They are zip-tied and stacked two-per.
• One lovely purple pre-lit tree from Target. Holiday festivities, ya know.
• 1990's Ikea starry tablecloth.
• Striped tablecloth gifted to us by the MIL when we began our short bout of living in sin.

Today I also got in the mail a USB cord to connect my phone to my laptop for modem connectivity. A non-smartphone, connected to a laptop running Vista. "What could possibly go wrong?!" But if it gets us Paypal, I'll tap-dance for the customers while my laptop shudders along.

Thank God I can also honestly say that 99.9% of my jewelry is done. Tomorrow will be pricing!

Laptop testing tomorrow. Sleep tonight. 4 late-nighters in a row is eating my solar plexus.
