"WHERE ARE ALL THE CLOWNS?"


When I think of clowns, I associate them with two different places.  The first place that I expect to see one is of course, the circus.  I never went to a circus as a young child, but found myself visiting a small traveling circus when I was in Junior High school.  I discovered that, in real life, they are not what the appear to be in the movies.  Remember those movies that made you want to go to the circus, like “Jumbo” starring Doris Day, or “Roust About” starring the infamous Elvis, and then there is “The Greatest Show on Earth” starring James Stewart and Charlton Heston.  Real life is nothing like it is in the movies, we can all agree on that.  I looked up the History of the Circus and found some very interesting facts including the fact that the first circus came to the US in 1793 and opened in Philly.  In case you are interested, I included the link above for the history.
The second place I expect to see a clown, is at a birthday party.  I do not think they are as popular now as they use to be, but you can find them, once again, in the movies delivering a big bouquet of balloons to a lucky boy, or girl.  So, when planning your next birthday party, after you order the balloons and the cake, you should visit Embroidery Fashions Boutique.  She has embroidered clothing just for that special birthday boy, or girl.  I went shopping in her store and found this really cute onesie, I'm 1 Today24 months Infant boys white I'm 1 baseball birthday custom embroidered onesise I fell in love with this one, because my great grandson is fast approaching the one year old mark.  Embroidery Fashions has excellent feedback and great customer service.  Looking for that special T shirt just for your party, she also does custom orders.

And if you really are in the market for a collectible clown, you should visit our Ecater Stores Network.  They have a variety of collectibles to choose from, not just clowns.
