Well, it's time to get off the roost and cackle about Ostentation (the Etsy shop, not us).

Let's see - what have we listed lately that will get you flapping your wings?  Well, we did locate a great tool for you crafters.  It's a Crop-A-Dile II Big Bite.  It's the big brother of the Crop-A-Dile I & III.  Those have a limited depth to punch things,.  This one will let you go 6 inches into the project to add your embellishment!  Plus, you can easily do several pages at once so if you are working on a tag swap for can easily get the hole in the same place on each tag! And, the color is (unfortunately) egg-yolk yellow.

We also came across some darling blank note cards.  They are in the original box and have the envelopes.  What makes them special?  Well, they were sanctioned by the Smithsonian Inst.  They just don't put their name on anything.  Then, they have fantastic pictures of fruit on the front (our favorite after seeds & insects).  Then, as an added bonus, they have a delicious recipe on the back using the fruit pictured on the front.  Doubly good deal.  Makes us wish we cooked instead of scratching!

Well, that's it from the barnyard.  We are getting together a list of French, German, and Spanish books from our stash.  Look for an update here after we get them listed.
