I went to the flower district and bought a $7 tall tin pot with handles. It fits 4 umbrellas, the small space in my hallway, and looks great. $100 for an umbrella holder?

I think the links are the post. Put a little effort into it, and give me some new ideas. Don't just trackback to old ones.

I use my mom's 1965 Better Homes and Gardens all the time. She's also written in family recipes for me, and it has great pictures!

I'm a real estate agent in NYC, and a letter of employment, excellent credit and meeting with the landlord is required, not an option. The best thing to separate you from the rest of the pack is ha...

I eat them out of the pods, they're addictive to me. Then I usually keep the seeds and dry them a little on the windowsill and when I have enough, put them on top of indoor plant soil. They look pr...

I've been trying to make my own, and I think I'm getting there, but the best in NYC is at the Edison Hotel Cafe, in midtown. If I'm sick, it fixes me. I swear it's the dill, but it's better than my...

I live in Harlem, and let me tell you, this is the best hangover food in the world. It tastes like heaven.

I bought a littermaid electric one a few years back, and it was the worst purchase ever. The litter was always sticking and clumping, it would scare the cats ... Now I use a $5 litter box and chang...

If you're in or around Pittsburgh, go to Hunt Stained glass. They are amazing, and can do pretty much anything. It's a lost art, and the quality of these are really stunning.

This makes me really sad. She took a beautiful piece of antique furniture and killed it. I don't understand this.

I've noticed that a lot of modern design is low to the floor, be it beds, sofas, chairs, etc. I don't get it, and I really don't like it. Maybe it's the wannabe Goldilocks in me, but I want to clim...

Seriously, this thing is $125. Why not get something that will last used off of craigslist? I don't understand the whole Ikea obsession. It's ugly, expensive crap (With the exception of their kitch...

I love it. Most of the stuff on here is stark & modern, which I hate. This is cozy, warm and insane. My kind of style. It's her personality - and it's the most fantastic apartment I've seen. ...

I just started a window garden, and I'd use this for the fresh rosemary, sage and parsley. And, basically, everything else. YUM!

I live in Harlem, so this is what Broadway looks like 2 or three times a day... I still love it though.

Just make sure your cats don't eat it - If it's hanging on your shower you should be fine. My bathroom smells great all of the time, and it's cheap($2.50 for a huge cluster at my Harlem flower shop).

They've had the airblades at the AMC 42nd street theaters for over a year now. They're OK, but have a few kinks. And it doesn't touch you - The air from both sides are so strong, you'd have to be p...

What a great prize - that vase is gorgeous!

Perfect for my kitchen (and for my security deposit)!

Sparrow in Gold, how lovely!
