Basil E. Bacorn
Artist & Aspiring Librarian
Hi, I'm Basil! I'm an online college student studying communications at Drexel University, with the ultimate goal of obtaining my master's degree in library and information science. Basil's Neat Things & Cool Stuff is my side hustle to help pay for the aforementioned college education, so each and every purchase is greatly appreciated! Every dollar made is one dollar closer to my educational goals, so thank you!
I am currently a freelance journalist for my local newspapers and serve as the president of the Board of Trustees for the Mather Memorial Library in Ulster, PA. I also am a professional artist specializing in beading, wirework, and fiber arts.
Silver Linings Novelty is my art brand where I sell my jewelry, wirework, and other art pieces as well as teach craft and art classes! You can find the latest news from Silver Linings Novelty at Silver Linings Novelty Jewelry & Decor!
My inventory is always changing! Check back in a few days or shoot me an email - I am happy to take a look at my not-yet-posted stock or even keep an eye out for the specific item you are hunting down!
