I do feel guilty because many of my great finds get shelved. They are great to hold, but scheduling prevents me from totally enjoying them. I am committed to dusting them off and getting them into full service mode!
But on with it...starting with the smallest, to the largest, in size...
Great Find #1

| Veyette Electric Pencil Sharpener. |
Veyette Electric Pencil Sharpener.
- Small
- Runs on 2 AA batteries
- Runs on USB
- Runs on electric wall plug
- Sharpens fast
- Quiet
- Visible sharpening in action
This was a quick and recent impulse. My trusty old sharpener failed and started chewing up pencils. I searched YouTube for instructions on how to fix it. I tried everything and decided to dump it! I was not ready to get a new sharpener nor spend the freight to invest in a really good one. Sharp points on pencils are a must for me and having a dependable sharpener is extra important! I read the reviews, saw the price tag, and finally decided to go with it. So far so good!

| ABOX A4 Laminator Machine. |
ABOX A4 Laminator Machine.
Great Find #4
- Portable
- Fast warm up (2-4 mins.)
- No bubbling effect
- Comes with laminator sheets
I had a laminator machine years ago in my business office, but somehow in all of my movement it was either left behind or gifted out to a teacher. A recent project pushed me to look for a machine and I found this one. With this, I discovered just how much I really needed this machine for other things. I couldn't resist the price and it has not failed me yet!

| American Girl WellieWisher - Ashyln Doll |
American Girl WellieWisher, Ashlyn Doll
- 14.5" tall
- Fully plastic Body
- Stands on her own
- Gorgeous hair
- Cute freckles
Okay, so what did you expect from my review of a doll? I was never really planning on bringing in a WellieWisher. As I was searching for a petite doll in this height range, my first stop was Hearts for Hearts. If I had acted on my first impulse and adopted a Hs4Hs, I probably wouldn't be here reviewing a WellieWisher. But I waited on the Hs4Hs to reduce in price, and they only increased. Bummer! This lead me to make a really tough call and go with the American Girl. The deciding factors are marketability, availability, and definitely the price!
Great Find #4

| Brother XM2701 Sewing Machine |
Brother XM2701 Sewing Machine.
- 27 Built-In Stitches
- Lightweight
- 6 presser feet
- Drop-in bobbin
- 2019 Women's Choice Award winner
- 25 Year Warranty
- Price
I had two Brother machines, one I purchased and one that was gifted. Both failed me. I need a fine tuned assembly of machines. Beauty of Creating cannot exist with diva-like episodes from my machines. Considering the age, and their finicky flaws, I re-gifted them and moved on. This Brother XM2701 is priced under $100 and is the perfect mechanical in a lightweight convenience! I'm not big on stitches because that was not required in this replacement to old fails.
