Hairdryer update...nevermind new

I have a functional hairdryer!

Once I put my request out there, all sorts of help was offered. One friend searched the thrift stores she visited and another person inquired at beauty salons (a viable possibility if one is looking for the Mercedes of hairdryers). The end of the quest came in the form of a no longer needed dryer gifted by a good friend (who also just happens to be an amazing inspiration for simple living). Yay!

Lesson learned: fie on cheap, small appliances designed for an early death. Alternatives: second-hand from thrift stores, quality items from a specialty store, or tool-sharing/passing among friends.
