Magpie is a neat store with scads of cute stuff . That said there wasn't one item I looked at that I would consider paying the tagged price for.

Maybe I should open up a store like this. I can glue stuff together and then charge $30 for it, and people will buy it because they think it's crafty and artsy. I'll make a killing!
