Fun stuff, some of it free

These bright gems are Creative Imaginations' glittering watercolor paint pots called Twinkling H2Os.  Some of them are part of a generous prize I won last fall in a product giveaway drawing on their blog.  They seemed a suitable Valentine follow-up to last week's post about color.

If you enjoy the chance to win free stuff,  shoplet.com has a weekly giveaway and never-ending array of the most creative office products from around the world, including these vinyl documents folders from recyclart.org.

When 45s were objects of desire, weekly allowance spent at the record shop, favorites toted to slumber parties in the plastic-handled faux-leather case intended for just that purpose, who would have guessed (a) they'd ever become obsolete or (b) be turned into imaginative, retro desk-top art.

If you fall into the "certain age" category, what was your all-time favorite single?

Happy Valentine's Day.
