My husband and I were both in line to inherit sets of china and silver, so we never registered for it when we were married. We've been holding off on actually accepting the items though...no place ...
Oh the joys of small living. my husband and I live in our camper, which is about 150 sq. ft., and as another poster mentioned: much of our "living" goes on outside! At least in the nicer seasons. T...
lol, Here in PA we have lots of hard cider. Most of it home made. It tastes wonderful, not like apple juice at all...although a DD may be needed at the end of the night. :)
Oh the glories, and pitfalls, of tupperware. We just cleaned out my grandmother's kitchen...and there were five huge outdoor trashbags full of tupperware containers. All going to the goodwill store!
People have been appreciating the look of logs for quite some time. The look here is called cordwood. It is an excellent way to build a home if you have the lumber available already and are willing...
This looks like a nice craftsman style home. I tend to be a traditionalist when it comes to houses with a history. I would check out the style(s) that were popular at the time and pick one to follo...
If you like this kind of stuff...your friendly librarian recommends reading "The Last American Man" by Elizabeth Gilbert. It is a fascinating biography about a man who chooses to live off the land ...

lol ok, so we all agree that pies have been made before plastic was invented. How about this thought: pies were being made before refrigerators were invented! I'm fairly sure that ma and pa didn't ...
I think in the right setting these are fun. If you had an ugly chain and uglier light cord to hide, then go for it. Personally, what bothers me is the "scrunchie"part. Why not have a cover that's s...
I don't live quite that far north, but we get seasonal changes here in the North Eastern U.S., and I have to concur with our neighbor to the north...some postings on how to stay green in the winter...
As a librarian, this is the space that I imagine myself working in someday. Or, for that matter, living in! I totally agree with some of the other posts...today's libraries (and museums) tend to be...
