I have a big pile of magazines that were left when I closed Polka Dot Creations twelve years ago, and they are up for auction on eBay. I’ve listed titles like “Art Doll Quarterly” and “Belle Armoire” as well as several issues of “The Crafts Report” from 2008 to 2010.

I discovered this morning that if you have on the floor 18 piles of magazines sorted by title, it will take another two hours to make space for them […]
