Since it's been so long since  we've had a chance to keep you updated each time  we get new "finds" in,  I thought I'd just do a little "show & tell" of  just a few of the new things in recently. Maybe I'll do a few of these posts to really   get you caught up  (or, you could always  just pop over and spend a nice long time browsing the various departments to see what's new!  ;) Wanna start with these guys?

I hope you will tune in to watch the race and experienc
