As a landscape contractor, I have seen a multitude of products come and go. Much of it has to do with fashion. Some of it has to do with expense. Plenty of products are just too expense to catch on with the general public. Sometimes less expensive versions of products make it easier for a product to become popular. (more…)
The last time I put on a pair of silver earrings from The Magic Zoo, I heard this comment four times in one day! I own five pairs from this company, and they are absolutely the best. Every pair is detailed and very well crafted, not to mention, of course, interesting! I mean, how often do you have total strangers approaching you and asking where you bought something? It not only made me feel good, but I was able to point them in the right direction! And I can recommend this company without a single worry. (more…)
If you are looking for a spectacular way to finish off a fence or deck, let me suggest copper post caps. These wonderful toppers not only protect the exposed cut end of your posts but they also make your deck or fence look fantastic! When you first apply these caps they glimmer in the sunlight and shine beautifully. After a while they start to turn as they oxidize into a lovely patina that makes you think of the regal architecture you see in pictures throughout Europe. (more…)
This very handsome sterling silver pit bull pendant seemed to come out of nowhere! The day I opened the package I was in a lousy mood, thinking of the awful pit bull farm where my poor Sasha was raised. I’m not putting down all pit bull breeders, but this one was in need of a little ASPCA oversight! Anyway, discovering that an artist had conceived and created such a beautiful version of this wonderful breed filled my heart with joy and put me in a fantastic mood. And the fact that my best friend would purchase this as an early birthday gift really lifted my spirits. (more…)

We all know someone who has had a loss recently and always wonder what in the world could we do to help them heal. We all want to flock to them and make sure they have all they need and cook for them or even take care of the home for them, but is this too much? What about those people who can’t get there to help them but want to show their sympathy. Well for those people there is the Peace and Serenity gift basket. It is a wonderful way to show you care and that you are truly sorry for their loss. (more…)
For reasons of sanity, we needed to get a storage building for our backyard. For reasons of economy and durability, we chose a metal shed. Steel metal panel construction insures that the elements will never be able to interfere with the items we keep stored within its walls. Able to withstand significant snow loads and even high winds, our new shed fits our northern US life just fine. And because we live in an urban area, the additional security of all-metal construction and padlock strength helps us feel that our belongings are safely stored. (more…)
