[AD] New at Trash City: Silicone spiky things + Picture Frame Charms

Firstly, a warning to sensitive readers. This post contains the C-word, which some may find offensive. But let's get it out of the way now. Folks, we are heading towards...CHRISTMAS. There, I said it. Yes, I know it seems like a long way off, but we're almost in October, and so before you realise, Halloween will have come and gone, then Thanksgiving and we all know what THAT leads to...aside from three weeks worth of turkey leftovers. :-)

I mention this, because every year, we get tear-stained emails from people who left it to the last minute before ordering, and end up being held to ransom by a laughing FedEx guy, or worse yet, enduring sobbing relatives and children because Mommy didn't get her beads in time. Please, people: don't let this happen to you. We all remember the great alphabet-block shortage of 2001, where the letter "A" v*nished from peoples' voc*bul*ry *t the st*rt of December. Order early, you know it makes sense.

After that public-service announcement, what's new at Trash City? Just a couple of things since last time really; truth be told, our extra-curricular activities (mostly our comedy show:

has meant we've spent less time attacking the mountain of stuff than we probably should. However, some have still managed to get done in between all this...

And of course, we still offer the usual low prices, fast turnaround, friendly service and off-centre sense of humor as always!

*** SILICONE SPIKY PUNK BEADS! *** They're squishy! They're spiky! They're rubbery! We don't know what to call them! All suggestions welcome... Three sizes of rounds, plus tubes, and we suspect we're selling them horribly cheap (starting at 40 cents), but since we can't find anywhere else selling them on the Net ('cos we don't know what to search for!), we kinda took a guess. We know they retail for as much as $1.50, so we're *definitely* cheaper there. Light as a feather, and brightly colored, perfect for all your "look at me!" creations. *** PICTURE FRAME CHARMS *** By popular demand, we now stock three different styles of little picture frame charms: plain square, heart and engraved square, starting at only $5.00. Perfect for your favorite pics of beloved small furry animals. Or children, if you *really* must. ;-) As ever, info on our latest additions can be seen here: or just go to our home page: and browse from there. Thanks for reading this! Chris + Jim = Trash City
