Does anyone know the source for the rug?

Pros use Felco and Barnel pruners, there's no comparison. Coronas are great for the price, I have several, but my felcos are like a lightsaber.

Knee pads are an abolute necessity.

I'm glad to see the velcro ties, they are my favorite thing in the last few years. Delicate enough for staking new growth, and secure enough for tree saplings and even training climbing roses on a trellis.

Lastly, the best gloves I've ever used are from West County Gardener. The landscaper gloves are so comfortable, breathable, have competely impenetrable kevlar on the palms and fingers (I've jammed my pruners in them to test) and even a clever swath of terry cloth to wipe your brow. They are even machine washable. The rose gloves are ultra-suede, comfortable and also machine washable.

Sparkly green thing is a Swarovski Crystal Chandelier and it's expensive, probably on their website. I've gone in there several times and bought unique gifts. I like the service, no one bothers you, and when you ask for help they are extremely professional. Yes, some things are outrageous, but that gets me in the door.

I absolutely love My Felco's with the rotating handles. They work extremely well for me and give me much more cutting power. I can get through things I couldn't cut with my first (non-felco) loppers. The advantage of Felco over corona is that the blade can be removed and sharpened or replaced. In fact, all the parts can be replaced so it's cheaper over time.

I recently switched to Sonicare after a life time of manual and the difference is astounding. The hygientist even noticed the change. Well worth the cost.

Canoe is great. Check out their condom dispensers. I give them as gifts all the time and everyone loves them. Their staff is very friendly and helpful; everything arrived quickly and packaged in a cool manner.
