Found a big guy today, gut says repro, heart says hmmmm

Editing to add: OMG HE'S REAL 😱😱😱 I also posted on Facebook and they said he's an authentic 1950s choir boy 🥹🥹🥹

I found this handsome boy today, he's BIG, 7" wide and 7" tall. Off the bat I'd say that there's zero chance he's authentic because of the price alone. I got him for $20 at an antique store. He's definitely paper mache, no insert. Any experts wanting to weigh in? Thank you in advance!

Planning for this year's setup!

I found the blowmold in the top right with the cute little bucket on the bottom right on FB marketplace for $20 total over the weekend 🧡🧡🧡 I wanted to do a quick trial run before I put them back in storage. I built a little shelf out of a 2x6 to prop up the ones on the back and love how it turned out!

The bottom shelf will have some pumpkin buckets in front and the blowmold will be elevated a little bit for visibility. I can't wait to see how they look all lit up!

Gaggia Cadorna Prestige clogged? Dispensing less than half the right amount.

I took a video to show you what's happening - it takes a while for the espresso to actually come out of the machine. And when it finally does, at the very best it's less than half of the volume it should be.

My husband is the primary "caregiver" of this machine and he makes sure to descale and clean the brew unit regularly. I've also been using long straw cleaning brushes to reach up and into the areas where the espresso comes out - doesn't help.

Does anyone have any insight? THANK YOU!!!

Looks like I can't post a video so I uploaded it to my Dropbox - hope it works:

Editing to add that the machine is about five years old. Another piece of info that may help: when you first start the machine, it's supposed to rinse and nothing comes out - maybe a drip or two.

Battery powered option for a vintage blow mold?

Hello everyone! I did a search for my question and couldn't find anything - I'm new here, I have recently (in the last five years) started collecting vintage Halloween blow molds. I recent adopted this little guy (😍) and would love to display him on a ledge where there isn't an outlet. Unfortunately the holes on the side and bottom are too small for a battery powered tea light.

​

Has anyone found a solution that might work? I've tried battery powered fairy lights, but they were VERY unreliable. Thank you in advance!

What do I have and how do I start the process of selling?

Hello! I inherited two cameras and a tripod from my late Grandfather about 20 years ago and would like to start the process of selling them. I have NO idea where to start, can you tell me more about what I have and the best way of selling them? They are beautiful, but I would like them to go to someone who would really appreciate them.

​

Thank you in advance!

Printful favorites for men and womens T-shirts, hoodies, etc.?

Hi everyone,

I've been on Merch by Amazon since 2017 and have done very well with organic sales. With the June royalty cut rapidly approaching, I've decided to look into POD with Printful and Etsy and possibly Amazon with a seller central account.

I've used Printful in the past, but the options have changed since then. What is your current favorites to use with them? I'm looking for recommendations for t-shirts, hoodies, etc.

Thanks in advance!
