About Travis Jonker
Ahahahaha: “vintage ombre peach color bundle, $75”!!! Finally, a solution to internet wailing about weeding collections: “Feel free to stop by and curate an ombre color bundle for your Etsy shop!”
Also, just realized that “Dewey Decimate” would be a good roller derby name. (If only Melvil himself hadn’t been such a racist wad…)
Turn weeding books into $$$!
The Results are In: this is the best gift list ever!
