Today is the last day of the week long celebration of
National Clown Week!

Today is Saint Swithin’s Day!

This alphabet chart necktie is a real enigma. Actually I have two such ties, this red one and another yellow one. It [...]
Well it just seems to never end with all of the monthly holidays.
April is National Card & Letter Writing Month! But don’t take my word for it (every pun intended)!
I’m glad because in this throw away society and age of twitters it is possible that many of us have lost out on the fine art [...]
I just found out that April 19th through the 25th is Astronomy Week!
For all of you like to gaze up at the heavens, you can reach for the sun and moon and stars with this modern astronomy tie – it’s outta this world!
I’m not exactly sure which solar system this necktie represents since it is [...]
