So I’ve been scoping out eBay the past few days, in hopes of replacing my old flat iron. No luck, so far. I really wish more people would include the model numbers in their auctions. It would make it SO much easier when looking for a specific item that isn’t manufactured anymore. And I have to say - I hate it when people don’t use the gallery picture option. I can’t be bothered to look at those 100 other auctions that only have the picture on the inside of the listing. Spend the 25 cents and put a gallery picture up!

My soon to be eleven year old daughter’s Christmas list is quite simple. 2 DVD’s, a CD, gold earrings, and a canopy for her bed, specifically, a blue or aqua canopy. Wouldn’t you know it, I can’t find one in brick and mortar stores? I’ve checked all of the department stores, as well as Linens N’ Things and Bed, Bath, & Beyond. I did find this one at Pottery Barn Teen, but honestly? I wasn’t planning on spending $80 on this canopy! My other option is eBay - I’ve found 2 sellers offering the a canopy that fits the bill there, and the bidding starts at $30. Neither is offering Buy It Now so I’ve got to do this the old fashioned way. Wish me luck!
