The long lost potholder loom of my misspent youth!
With all the awesome Black Friday sales online today, I've had the best morning avoiding the crowds at the stores. I've been cuddling up with my girls, watching the Mahna Mahna video for the zillionth time on you tube, and jumping online to grab a deal or two.

When I got word that CMP fave Oliebollen was offering 25% off everything in stock today only, I clicked right over and oh man, am I glad I did.
I was so excited to find the potholder loom of my own youth! I grabbed two right away.

I can only hope that in an age of bells, whistles and double-A batteries, my girls will be as excited to sit down with me on a rainy weekend, string those loops together, and make some crazy looking potholders to be proud of. Especially considering they're just $11.99 each--before the discount.

If my girls are lucky, I'll even use them as real potholders, just like my mom did with my own. Aw, memories. -Liz

Find the retro potholder looms and all kinds of great toys, clothes and gifts for kids at Oliebollen - where everything is 25% off TODAY ONLY (Friday) with code BLACK. Happy shopping!

And psst..for another retro treat, here's that Mahna Mahna video. It never grows old.
