You could cut the fingers off and get a new pair. If/When the new pair gets holes, pop the old fingers into the new ones. Insta-fix.

Ah, but it is awful pretty...sigh..

I'd love to have it as a daily reminder. What a great philosophy. Frankly, it is the first time I've seen it. I'll have to be more observant when I read AT.

I have silicone bakeware. they are really hard to keep clean. No matter how I clean them, they always feel greasy. Of course, I don't have a dishwasher, but I do wash dishes in extremely hot water.

I hate the amount of plastic I use and would love to switch to something like this, but do they keep the food fresh? I just envision hard bread and withered cold cuts by the time I get my lunch hour.

I've been called everything from a hopeless pack rat to an avid collector. This definitely looks like a book to excite that impulse in me. Thanks for the heads up!

I've read every comment and even laughed out loud at the squirrel lamp. It is weird. Instead of the worst gifts I've ever gotten, it got me thinking about the worst gifts I've (inadvertently) given. When my sister bought her first home, she had a couple of prints of outhouses in her upstairs bathroom. Next Christmas I gave her a lamp of an outhouse complete with moon-shaped cutout on door! I wonder if she sometimes shakes her head and thinks, "What WAS my sister thinking?"

Oh, all I can see are the crumbs that will inevitably fall between toaster and cradle thingy. It is anything but streamlined. I have to say thumbs down on this one.

I'm currently using one of those fabric memo boards (with the ribbon that goes criss-cross across it) with pretty flower head pins to display/store jewelry. If I put jewelry in a box, it is out of sight/out of mind. This way I can see chains, pins, earrings and they are just as easy to put back.

Actually, looking at the juxtaposition of the retro pieces and the updated look at the lamp took my breath away. I love, love, love, the linen with the white. I wish I had the vision for something like this. And the rug? It pulls it all together. It is a keeper for more reasons than that it is an heirloom.
