Does anyone happen to know the current status of Jim Hillestad's Toy Soldier Museum in Cresco, PA? The last news I had heard was last year, when there was talk of reviving the open house events, which he was forced to suspend during the lockdowns. But it was canceled. Today I tried to access...

Hello, baseball fans! Since we're in the new year, and just a couple of weeks till pitchers and catcher show up for spring training, I figured it was time to light a new hot stove, for 2024. For my part, I'm watching the Phillies' deals. They signed Nola, which makes me glad. I like to see...

This is an interesting video that came up in my YouTube feed, from the Science Channel apparently, though I didn't see its logo anywhere, so I don't know if it's the cable channel, or a YouTube channel independent of the Science Channel. It's an episode of a show called "Experiments", which...

Afternoon, everyone! I just learned about a new website, an online Heyde archive. The website is here: https://altes-spielzeug.info/ It's in German but offers versions in English and some other languages. It looks like it's going to be a great project for fans and collectors of Heyde's toy...

I should share this with the other painters here, my home-made paintbrush rests: I had had trouble picking up brushes that I had laid down on the bench, and I had a thought about the chopstick rests that you find in Japan or China. So I took some Aves A&B and made these. I painted them...
