I am looking for a similar pull to that, only I also needs some in an 8 or 9 or 10". I found both the 5" and 10" made by Rusticware but they're out of the 10" until July??? ( I called Rusticware about it) Anyone know where I can get something similar in the larger and smaller size?? Thanks, Bonnie Here is a link that might be useful: Rusticware pulls

yes, flyleft -30% of the $249 -- i know there are less expensive portable induction burners, but i decided that if i was going to try one, i might as well try a good one - to get 30% of at potsandpans, you need to register with them -then they send you an e-mail with the link so that everything on their website is on sale from december 6-31 -- i got the e-mail from them december 5, tried to purchase the burner then, and the discount did not apply until december 6 --hope this helps!

Hi Karin, Growth is good, change is good. You are the decapitation queen, and the only person I know who started hybridizng fifteen minutes after she had two violets in her possession. You like new, different, and nothing to hold you back. So cut your losses and set down roots somewhere else, in fresh, clean territory you stake out yourself. Suggest you start something new, all your own, independent of any club, and invite people to join. Annie of the All About African Violets podcasts wants to forge a Canadian connection. Maybe you can work with her. Maybe also revisit that first club and see if they would like your help. Sort of like what Anne Marie K did for Lyon's. And for National. She is tapping a younger generation and using embedded videos and all the tools on her blogs. I can already see the opening scene of your podcast, walking down a country road with your dog in all four seasons. Leave the present club alone. I have seen something similar in another club, not saying who or where, in which two competing FB sites were set up. Not cool and when clubs air their inherited bad feelings for each other at a public level on the internet, newcomers will not be interested in participating. These are the growing pains of the 1970's style clubs not being able to adapt to change. It goes on with many non-profits, not just AF clubs. Joanne

Artemis, same here! I must start sorting and discarding--we have the great luxury of over a year's lead time till we retire and transition to living in what is now our vacation house. I must begin working on the mammoth project of clearing out our home of 30 years. We're not hoarders but we have a full house of stuff, as everyone does and it cannot all go down there! I know the hardest things to part with will be the furniture and decor items that just don't belong in the new place; I've lightened up my 'tropical traditional' style considerably in our new house and I love the fresh look I have going down there. But oh it will be wrenching to give up things I've used and loved so long. I"m planning to start with the easy stuff-things that are not sentimental or in use. Friday is commencement day at my university which for those who work in higher ed is the official start of summer :). I'm going to try to discipline myself to either set a timer or make some job slips (clear a shelf/empty a drawer/sort a closet bar) and draw the winning task each evening since I won't be coming home exhausted and fit only to eat dinner and gaze vacantly at HGTV for an hour or so before heading off to bed.
