Last summer in August I played host to several of my daughter's friends. They traveled from New Orleans, Ottawa and Seattle to get together for a weekend of fun and concerts. The performer was Clay Aiken. Amazing to see friendships develop over this medium called the internet. 10 years ago if you had told me I would be opening my home to strangers who met on a message board I would have called you a wackadoo. Now I call it my summer plans.

Good times. Hurry up Clay and release that new album and throw in a new tour in while you're at it.

Isn't it true? I remember the first time I was meeting people for lunch that I only "knew" on the message board. My husband came with me. Now he's a regular at all the concerts and all the parties! Amazing the comraderie that developed because of one remarkable entertainer.

The name sort of goes with my eBay business and my "brick & morter" business which I run out of my house - well actually my slightly overcrowded garage.

It is called The Vintage Flea.

Yeah dumpster diving can be profitable but a little hazardous to your health.
