**Persephone** , I once saw a _rooster’s head_ (ahem) warmer. Do you make those? ---

I’ve baked a massive batch of my one and only specialty, chocolate chip cookies, available with and without walnuts. You can tell I baked them, because my hands are covered with small burns as I am just a tiny bit clumsy in the kitchen. I’m purchasing and eating lots of fudge, because it heals burns. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it. I’m going to snap up one of Kricket’s corsets, and am considering wearing it during the sale to promote my cookies 😉 ---

I make interesting throw pillows. Not regularly, but I do make them. I’ve also taken the liberty of bringing some chocolate-chip cookies. Robin ---

**A sale!** Today I sold a necklace to an acquaintance of mine. She’s been looking for a belated (birthday?) gift for her brother’s ex-girlfriend (they’re friends), and she was rooting through my stuff when she saw something she liked. It was a garnet red heart and gold bead necklace. Her offer to buy it took me by surprise; I had no idea what to charge her for it. I said, “Five dollars?” She said, “Awesome!” Five dollars it was. I’m supposed to make one just like it for another friend of hers, too. Oh, this is cool. I’m pretty happy right now. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-sdmb-craft-show-bake-sale/42384.md?page=2)
