I try not to post off-topic very often, but you hit a pet peeve.
"In lieu of" means "instead of," not "in light of" or "in addition to." People often say "In lieu of flowers, the fam...
Eh, I don't think that it is wise to buy anything just because it is green, or American, or local. Quite often the best thing you can buy for the environment is nothing at all.
I just...
$1425.00 for a skirt is a LOT, I agree, but imagine paying an American to do that work, and you can see where the costs come from. (I'm actually amazed that the "Thank you" and "Alabama" tee shirt...
My mother used the non-worn edges of an old 100% cotton sheet to make napkins. Because the fabric was tightly woven and old and soft, she just ripped it into squares and did no finishing whatsoeve...
Heh, Monkeyme, I think it looks purple too. I thought at first they had a cranberry topping. Only the first picture, but definitely odd.
The cookies sound really good, though now I'm...
Heh, I like those peanut butter kisses, though they weren't a super-favorite. If I could get my hands on them without resorting to mail order, I'd probably buy them occasionally.

For a higher creep factor while still avoiding plastic, you can buy glass jars and bottles at the thrift store (and save them from your household) label them with creepy potions names, and fill the...
I can't acutally see the color variation on the tile in the photo. (The photo is too small for me to see past the variations in light.) The description is lovely, though. I wonder if you could plan...
Jems, I didn't see it mentioned that the four Pyrex cups were ordered separately. It seems unlikely to me that someone would place four separate orders for the same bowl.

A quick search on etsy.com found a vintage linen handkerchief with embroidered edges (not flowers, just hemstitching, so not too frilly) for $3, and sets of bright batik hank...
I'm never quite clear on things like this linen curtain. Is this supposed to be a device to keep shower water from splashing on the floor? Or a green replacement for the ornamental curtain that m...
Eliza, you can put me down as a "never needed dryer sheets" person, too. My mother never used it, and I just plain don't understand fabric softener (whether dryer sheets or the liquid kind). Line...
We have the pepper ball because my spouse likes a really coarse grind and we can't find anything else that will grind as coarsely.
How coarse can the Magnum Plus grind? Any recommenda...

What is that thing in the small picture on the right? It looks like it is stuck into a cup of coffee.

Aargh. Effect. Could you get this EFFECT for less. (That misuse is a pet peeve, I can't believe I didn't spot it before!)
