Sudlow Jewelry's Profile

As a landlord, I'd LOVE to have granite in all my rentals...I see the damage that my renters do to formica, butcher block & tile & just imagining A), the appeal to most renters of granite & B), the lack of long term maintenance needed sounds amazing.

I've had to replace tile countertops when they chip/stain grout, sand out butcher blocks, & have to live with burn marks on formica. Concrete stains too easy & the corian stuff can scratch/burn...So really, from a landlord standpoint, a good solid stone like granite, esp one that hides dirt & marks is really as ideal as you can get. It'll last & always look fairly new.

Then again, I rent houses in a college town & abuse is common...we're not dealing with high end renters.

while I have seen Urban rip off designers WAY too often & agree that's what they're doing here, this is a common enough design...I've been selling them on & off etsy for years- http://www.etsy.com/listing/62629518/custom-state-necklace

and I've seen other designers do them as well. UO is doing a shoddy job on theirs though!

my mom is doing a vineyard & we had our big harvest this fall...it was a neat process. I got the first part (picking, destemming & crushing) in my album. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sudlowjewelry/sets/72157624776262036/

I'll have to do the bottling pics here in a few weeks!

I was just wondering how the heck you'd go about eating it. Guess you'd just have to knock it over & attack

I've got the edison chandelier & love it...it puts out a LOT of light!

just did a batch of peach ice cream!

Yup, I use these papers to print shipping labels on (which I then cutout & compost the small bits of scrap). I've cut down on buying reams of paper by SO MUCH. Especially as we're refinancing our house & have used so much paper in that process

people still use bagging vacuums?!

but yeah, if it's stinky, it means it's clogged. Take it apart & clean it

if selling AND buying, find a realtor that deals in houses similar to yours...they'll know the ins & outs of that particular style & be able to explain a lot more. If you're shopping for a fixer upper, done get a realtor who only does high end & vice versa

I cant imagine shelling out these kinds of prices ($500 ????) for a fan. I got a $25 'vintage style' one at walmart & it works fine
