You'll Know It When You See It...












































...that perfect gift. And you're not gonna find it at Kay Jewelers.

More gift ideas from last week's, Something Special, featuring an alternative to shopping at the mall or anywhere else for that matter. Check out The Showplace Antique Center (Website here).

The watch is great! The only time I would not like to look at it is 5:15, when all the action is covered up.

I went to TSAC this weekend and didn't see any of the gems you spotted. Maybe I need to get my glasses fixed? :)

Vinyl=Porn. Hell YES, Music = porn (for me).
I spent the night with my Fam., listening to Ahmad Jamal Mosaic disc two, then "Way out West" (Sonny THE shite Rollins), then "Love Supreme".... of F'in' CD while Some kid (yes F'in' kid!!!) got this on vinyl at the thrift I "altruistically" volunteer at... he's probably using some some sony/goldstar shite TT with it too... I wanna' KILL! GODDAMMINIT!!!!

Great advice Tinman....Antique shops offer excellent Christmas gift finds....and show more thought in the bargain.

YWP - I would'a thought 5.20 but we're in the same neighborhood.

Makaga- It was last Summer but still...can you read the top line?

Suburban Princess- They fit in stockings too.

Scale Worm- You lost me after Sonny Rollins.

Main Line- Now antiques are what Phila has plenty of. Although, what happened to all the used bookstores?

And you didn't snag that cute stewardess doll or Rolex sales badge? That photo of the reel to reel reminds me of you powering up our dad's deck, Bossa Nova filling the house.
