Yes! Gallery 18 in Prince Edward Island has many beautiful pews that have been removed from old churches on the Island. Perhaps call for details, I don't think they are shown on the we...

Peanut butter balls - my all time favourite Christmas sweet!

Athough I think they are beautiful and would use them if I were you, you could have a local artisan turn them into napkin rings or chimes...something you would be able to use and enjoy.

@amber77 - I would definitely go ahead with the green toys, and point out (in a nice way) that you were thinking of their kids because the toy doesn't offgas like the cheap plastic stuff, or lead-p...

A little off topic, but the post mentions pouring muffin batter with this. The best (I mean best!) thing for getting batter into muffin tins is a potato scoop. It leaves no mess, no s...

@ sjbreeze - great idea! I have been thinking along the same lines as the poster (but also agree that kids just want candy). I was also noticing that there are little bags of organic ...

Great idea for a post! Heating would be your largest issue. Anything you can do to save energy in this respect would make a big impact. Proper insullation, sealed and efficient windows...

We use the President's Choice brand (in Canada) - when you get it on sale, it is cheaper than ANY of the regular stuff. I can't go back to using soft TP now. When I'm at a friend's ho...

We use a stainless steel ice bucket that we got at a vintage shop, looks very similar to the one in the pic. It is great - we use a starch/biodegradeable liner inside it (and dump eve...

Great post! - gift certificates (especially at green stores or for experiences - the most recent wedding shower gift I bought was a gift cert. at a local and organic brunch spot, so th...

"thepictures", I don't think the first comment was ridiculous. We had the same problem (all of our glasses were being ruined because the green products didn't have rinse agent). We've...

Um...not hot. You can pull the 'inards' out of a pepper with your fingers faster than you could get that gadget out of the drawer. Plus I can see myself scraping my hands as I hunt for...

Yes, I have to agree. PEI mussels are among the best in the world. And they're even better when you get them fresh and local. Prince Edward Island is one of the nicest places to visit....

We have an oval teak set with 4 sturdy chairs (with arms). We love eating outside any chance we get. We have a big tray that we load up (to save trips in and out). Something my mother-...

We typically either: 1. purposely buy things that go together and are tasty; or 2. use up whatever we happen to have around. Some favourites are different del...

We recently renovated our place and put cork in the livingroom and kitchen and so far it's amazing. It is an excellent sound barrier, soft on the joints and we've had glasses fall off the counter a...
