In 2013 I took a weaving class at the local university, in the 1950s gym that serves the volleyball team and recreational classes, which includes a room of floor looms where off-work staff and local residents have gathered for decades to weave. I didn't get very good at that, but I enjoyed this vintage label in a little-used bathroom. I added it to the Nik-O-Lok Wikipedia article, which was a stub. In 2021 I ran into a live Nik-O-Lok! I finally expanded the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nik-O-Lok_Company

Happy to find opportunities to incorporate bits of my childhood into Wikipedia - uploaded a photo of the Happy Foot / Sad Foot sign that I took in 2010 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Don%27t_Love_Me_Yet). The other side showed a happy, healthy foot, and the sign continuously spun itself around. Backstory on the sign: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-happy-foot-sad-foot-sign-los-angeles-california + https://www.theeastsiderla.com/neighborhoods/silver_lake/silver-lakes-iconic-happy-foot-sad-foot-sign-becomes-subject-of-documentary/article_bb4bb4ca-22c9-4b0c-b845-765717d79898.html
