Each day I will try to post an item or two from my house. Why? To support companies that are in my country. Take a second and look at the product or item you are using and see where it is made. Pot Potpourri Press tins were popular in the 80's and I found them useful for lip gloss, storing trinkets, and desk decorations. I have a collection of these tins I bought way back then. I also keep an eye out for them at thrift shops and yard sales. The Pot Potpourri Press company went out of business years ago. I use these tins for storage of Christmas tags and such on my wrapping counter    Bermuda Bags . Although I lived inland from the Atlantic Ocean at the time I carried a Bermuda Bag, ii's my favorite style of purse. The handles were made by Pappagallo.  My parents bought thes

The two were live in a theater in Burbank, CA. where they tweeted to fans also. follow @NeedforSpeed   on Twitter. The film opens in theaters March 14, 2014 Take a look at the screening event:      OFFICIAL BOILERPLATE:   DreamWorks Pictures’ “Need for Speed” marks an exciting return to the great car culture films of the 1960s and ’70s, when the authenticity of the world brought a new level of intensity to the action on-screen. Tapping into what makes the American myth of the open road so appealing, the story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country journey for our heroes — one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. Based on the most successful racing video game franchise ever with over 140 million copies sold, "Need for Speed" captures the freedom and excite

What's in your tool box? Over the weekend the Mr. painted one of our upstairs bathrooms and installed new towel bars. As I was cleaning up the dirt and dust from the measuring twice, cut once method of installation, I spotted "Made in USA" on a tool. Well... then I had to read all the tool labels. I found more than one item with the made in USA label. The Mr. likes quality tools and mainly buys USA made tools.

Take a second and look at the product or item you are using and see where it is made. If I had my dream house I'd have a room with lots of shelves to house dishes. Holiday dishes, everyday dishes, children's dishes, tons of bowls, platters, fancy dishes, and even paper plates. Lately I've been reading the dishes, not like a fortune teller, but to see where the dish is made. So far so good, most of our dishware is made in USA. A long time favorite is Fiesta Ware made by The Homer Laughlin China Company . The first bowl I bought was from Bloomingdale's many moons ago. Most major department stores now carry the brand.  When my kids were younger I bought a pile of the

What's new with Glade® Wax Melts and PlugIns® Scented Oil Customizables™ for the home environment.

Get ready for Spring with Glade®  PlugIns® Scented Oil Customizables™. I picked up Apple Cinnamon, Lavender with Peach blossom fragrance to try out in our bathroom and surrounding rooms. The scents alternate daily. I plugged it into the wall in the bathroom, and the fragrance filled the area around the bathroom with a nice aroma. Our laundry room is next to the bathroom so having the plug in close by keeps all the rooms smelling fresh. It's like layers of freshness in the air. The cover is removable so you can use it or take it off. There are two fragrance refills to put in the PlugIns starter kit. Look for their new Spring collection in stores soon. I can't wait to bring Spring inside! Enough of this cabin fever! Glade®  PlugIns® Scented Oil Customizables™   starter set are available in: Clean Linen ® & Sunny Days ® Hawaiian Breeze ® & Vanilla Passion Fruit, Apple Cinnamon & Lavender Peach Blossom Refills are available in 10 individual scents and several uniqu
