What I Got: Sennelier Oil Stick Wood Boxed Set of 36 (missing 6) still in their original plastic wrappers
Where I Got It: Salvation Army, Hadley, Massachusetts
How Much I Paid: $2.99. That’s right, two dollars and ninety-nine cents, not including tax.
How Proud I Am of My Shopping Savvy: This is how much this thing usually costs. I’m doing my little Happy Bargain Hunter Dance over here.
What I’m Going To Do With It: Stay tuned-there’ll be a learning curve!

Remember this style-n-beauty blogpost?

Announcing the Grand Opening of the Motmot Mercantile! You may have noticed the little badge over to the right in the sidebar- it links to an all-new online shopping experience in my Cafe Press-hosted store. All the designs are made from original artwork, on products you just know you’re gonna want, and all just a click away.

Drew these tanagers from a hammock in Panama; who’d of thought I was working at the time?

The swell thing about having a shop with Cafe Press is that they do all the manufacturing, packing, shipping, and customer services, including the financial end of things. All I have to do is make up cool designs for the tote bags, mugs, refrigerator magnets and other essentials of a quality lifestyle. I invite you to browse. And one other nice thing- it’s easy to add products and designs, so if there’s something you would like to have, just let me know! Thanks for looking!
