Anne At Large's Profile

I just moved into my grandmother's house this year. She used to have Easter here every year in her epic garden. This year I did a buttload of work in that garden and all the nieces and nephews came over and ran amok with sugar and plastic rabbits. Next year will be even more elaborate. It could only be better if she was still here.

Medusa12120, I believe it is those magic words, Price Upon Request.

Holy cannoli! I have never seen my canisters anywhere else, EVER! I can see coffee, tea and sugar up there, I have a flour one as well (same size as the sugar). Where is this picture from?! I must know! ;)

I have the most basic version of the first Bodum one - glass and recycled plastic, no Bakelite (sigh). It works great, and I am willing to bet that most of the other lower-end Bodum ones work just as well. Unless you're into spending that much on a coffee press, of course.

I sure wish the link would work, TJ's seems like a good wine option but I'd like to read the article.

crayfish, I am likewise bidding a fond farewell to icy Nevada winters by moving to the south bay. Huzzah for cherry blossoms! And my favorites, mimosas!

Looks like a bedspread to me too, but I can see both daffodils AND tulips in the print ;)

Hanging/displaying musical instruments is not always the best option. If your instrument needs consistent humidification, in the case is the best place for it to live.

I do own a real toolbox and a real hammer. However, for all the flak I have gotten for that tiny hammer, I use it ALL THE TIME. And if you get used to using it you get in the habit of tightening the handle periodically. It hasn't come apart on me in years. Got it in college and for all the random little stuff it is great to keep in the junk drawer.

I still don't get the fascination. I had to stay with family who had one just like the one in the third picture, and I did all the cooking. It was a giant pain in the ass! When you can't turn the heat down on those top plates enough and you just have to leave the pot halfway off of the heated part and then when you cook too long they lose all their heat and things take a million years to cook.

I imagine the newer versions are a little less ridiculous, this was also the heat source for most of the (large, cold, damp old) house. But seriously. Does anyone who adores these so really use them on a regular basis?

We also dried the laundry on it. So multipurpose, yes, but even less attractive to me when covered in pants and towels.
