Nene, I love your idea about asking for magnets instead of other souvenirs. I think I will do that with my family. Somehow in my three moves in the past year all of my beloved magnets have been los...

I tell my customers this when they go to estate sales and auctions... Buy what you love. Pay what it's worth to YOU. Don't worry if you're getting a great deal or not. Resale value doe...

Thanks for your comment, Superbeetle. I am one of those dreadful dealers. Of course, I have to take REALLY good care of the items I purchase because they have to be resold in my store ...

Allison, Could you please tell us where your bottle are manufactured? I am looking for something NOT made in China. I have Klean Kanteens (made in China the last time I checked) as wel...

Pretty brilliant double usage in my opinion!

I really LOVE the look they went for with these planters. Much different than the standard pansies and petunias! Anyone have any idea what variety of bamboo a person should use in order to recreate...

The above posters are correct. They are from the ends of earthquake rods. If you are ever in Charleston, SC, you can see the rods that were used to pull many of the brick buildings back together af...

Ummm... No. I simply don't have the self-control that it would take to avoid the popping spree. And, it still looks like bubble wrap to me. Nothing interesting about it. Maybe the recy...

I am SOOOO loving these built-ins. Not that they're 100% practical for my home.... But I really love them. Maybe in the kid's rooms... Hmmm... Must figure someway to have a built-in bed!

I love, love, love it! It makes me miss the desert... for about a second... At least I have my own grouping of similar plants here in South Carolina. Mine is not nearly as cool though....

I just can't stomach owl stuff. I guess that's probably due to the fact I had an aunt (since deceased) that collected all of that kitschy owl stuff. She had TONS of owls. And we didn't get along ve...

I LOVE these pictures. I have always wanted a house with some of these features. My grandparents house (built in 1957) was very trendy for it's time because my grandfather was a builder and develop...

I have wanted to try out Method products for quite awhile... I am a recently single mom to a chemically sensitive severely autistic son and "regular" cleaning products simply can't be ...

VERY cool! I love old buildings and it's sad that many times they are found in shambles. It makes me happy to see such a pristine example.

What a great looking little fan. I would also love to have one.... It would be so cute to use on my porch.... Yep. The cute factor sells me. I am easy that way.

Simply beautiful. I need to repaint my patio. This gives me just the inspiration I needed. Marlaina

Garden decorations ROCK! I have mushrooms, gnomes, flamingos, etc. And I am not even embarassed by them! Marlaina htt...

OH GAWD! This is one of my worst nightmares. Everytime I read about bedbugs, I have awful dreams about them invading my little cottage.... Best of luck in your exterminati...

I'm really glad to see you commenting about this on AT. I received an e-mail about it several weeks back and was sickened by what Miracle Grow was doing. Of course, it prompted me to a...

Thanks SO much for the tip! Absolutely FABULOUS! Off to add the link to my blog.
