Dear Blog Readers,
We have become the kind of blogger we never wanted to be — the kind who has a "read our blog" button on our website but the newest post is months old. We blame Facebook for this — it's so much easier to write something there and we seem to have more followers there than we did here on the blog. Still, we can't quite bring ourselves to give it up altogether yet — so instead, we're posting this little note to explain our lack of current entries. Please do check out our facebook page, we think it's fun, if not quite as long form.
sincerely, the Joie de Blogger.

An Almost Perfect Item for Joie


This should really be a series - items that are so right for Joie de Vivre, except for their price. This beautiful machine is a mechanical party popper popper. As our customers know, we have been selling party poppers for 15 cents each (7 for $1) for years and years and they are a very "pop"ular item. This machine, courtesy of the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre folks in England takes the drudgery out of popping poppers - it does it for you. Very elegant . . . and very fun. I love it and would buy one of these for all my friends and loved ones . . the only trouble is - its cost- approximately $700 (depending on pound to dollar fluctation of course) And, kind of chintzy that for that amount, they supply only 50 poppers, not even a complete box! Oh well . . . I do love knowing that someone went to all the trouble of making this machine!
