[See some of Sparker's creations, here on Redbubble.]

II. Windows
Yesterday bink spent the afternoon window-dressing the thrift store.
(BIG thanks, bink!)
The shaggy remnants of Xmas displays were still in the two big windows--all the good stuff had been bought out of them.
We don't have a designated window crew, (I assume some of the volunteers did this in the store's early years but have aged out of getting themselves in and out of the elevated window spaces), so I've sort of taken that on.
But I'm not good at decorating BIG spaces, so I'm hugely glad bink was in charge yesterday. bink worked in theater many years ago and is good at setting a stage.
It's a bit early, but with limited supplies, the easiest theme to illustrate was Valentine's Day.
We've got lots of random red stuff.
Including a nice red bathrobe, below, right--you can't see in the late-afternoon glare, but the mannequin's underwear shows Batman saying, "Oh, SNAP!"
Here's bink & her work:
