It's Baaackkk! The 3rd Friday the 13th this year!
Here are some "Friday the 13th" info-tidbits from Wikipedia:
- The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia [say that 10 times fast -- yikes!]
- The 13th day of the month is slightly more likely to be a Friday than any other day of the week.
- On average, there is a Friday the 13th once every 212 days. [my note: 2009 has 3 Friday the 13ths!]
- It's estimated that 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day -- & estimated that $800 million is lost in business on this day.
I say FEAR NOT !!! Let's get out there and shop!

My name is Marianne, and I am a collecting addict! And I don't want to be cured. I love everything about antiquing, collecting, and selling. I'm a born-and-raised California Girl, which changed when, after visiting hubby's family back here in Ohio, we got hooked on antiques.

LOL. That young lady looks a tad bit older than thirteen, and I'm really wondering what she has on her mind...
Maybe 13 is her LUCKY number!
