Did you ever find some where?

Around here it is referred to as blocking. It is often used where mirrors, cabinets and curtain rods will be hung. Some people feel it isn't necessary.

I agree that it doesn't bother me to see that on TV cooking shows, BECAUSE no one really eats the food. However, at home? My hair is halfway down my back, I don't even walk into my kitchen to get a glass of water without grabbing a clip and securing it. I rarely ever yell at my husband, but the one thing that ticks me off is him walking into the kitchen holding one of the cats. Yes, they walk into the kitchen on their own, but they stay on the floor (they are WELL TRAINED not to ever get on counters, tables or chairs.) Sarah Moulton--what a lovely lovely woman. I had the pleasure of spending a couple of days at a country inn with her a few years back. She is so sweet, so down to earth. Not at all a 'celebrity' in how she acts. She's such a genuinely nice person.

People often removed the crystal drops because they thought it made them seem "dated"...no accounting for taste. And then they put the drops on a ribbon and put them in a window to catch the light. I have seen boxes and boxes of crystals at shops and sales.
