We tried the Navarro Vineyards Gewürztraminer Grape Juice at the recommendation of our waiter at the Farmhouse Inn Restaurant and fell in love. We've bought it by the case since. It really is a treat.

I agree with LittleMissSunshine . . . this is not attractive graffiti at all. It just looks like tagging. If it was artistic and beautiful in some way, I might check it out.

Lovely home! I like how clean and airy it looks. There is so much room to run around and play for the lucky little one. Babies are amazingly good at learning to navigate their surroundings, so the sharp corners don't alarm me.

It's funny . . . as soon as I saw the photo of the color-arranged books, I knew I would scroll down to see comments by people who dislike the idea. I like it. As a graphic artist myself, I am actually more likely to remember the way a book cover looks (the color, placement of the graphics, typeface) than I am to remember the book's author. I never go to my bookshelf to find any old book on a particular topic; I go to get a specific book that I can picture in my mind vividly. The color thing makes sense to me, and it looks less "cluttered" to my brain. To each his/her own.

Thanks for sharing your home!

This is lovely and perfect for a nursery.

Oh, I love this! It's a million times better now. Nice work!

We love the pairings boxes from Turntable Kitchen!

Sometimes you can find things locally for even cheaper! I priced out glucose for some of the cookies in the Momofuku Milk Bar Cookbook, and it was close to 50% cheaper to buy the smaller tubs at our local Michael's store (check the cake decorating section.) I'm all for Amazon for purchasing things you can't find locally, but when you can find it down the street, please buy local!

I have a bowl of quince on my counter right now, and I've been putting off using them in a recipe for this very reason . . . they smell so amazing!

$4,000 for a sofette doesn't seem mid-range to me, but the items are lovely. Sadly, this is going on my "in case I win the lottery" list.

I think splitting up the two types of content was a mistake. We occasionally watch the online content, but the selection is pretty lame, so it wouldn't be worth subscribing to that alone. We supplement with DVD's for the things we really want to see and are willing to wait for, but we don't rent enough of them to warrant a separate subscription. For us, the combined DVD/online content made it just barely worth it to stay a subscriber.

Now, if they got the rights to stream more current content, even at a higher price, I would be happy to pay for that. We susbcribe to Hulu plus for the more current TV content to supplement our network-only cable plan.
