Very nice Judy. I love going to thrift stores at this time of year. I look for the old fashioned decorations (bulbs) and more bead garlands to add to my tree. I luck out once in a while and find a sparkly cardboard house to add to my collection for the mantle.

Pretty, Judy, love the top one! There's nothing like a "good deal" at a thrift store. I like Goodwill here. Hope you, Greg and Ashley are doing fine!

I totally second (or is it third?) 1st dibs -- got some great lighting from them as well as a beautiful 18th c. bureau and two 18th c. semainiers. I also am fond of Vivre -- my all-time favorite coasters I found there. (no longer available, otherwise I'd link them) And I lovelovelove Ruzzetti & Gow for bibelots -- I find lots of gifts (to give) there, as well as at Etsy. I also like Source Perrier (which was already mentioned above), although I think they are reasonably priced. I've been really impressed with the quality of everything I've purchased there. I'm not a big clothes shopper (girlfriends of mine seem to live to go to Neiman's -- pas moi!), but get me going on stuff for the house and I'm in danger. Ouch!

My favorite shop is is Great Finds and Designs a lovely high end- no junk here-consignment shop. The furniture and accessories are arranged in wonderfulroom settings which are always changing because things are always flying out of there. I overheard a designer picking up goods there to use at the symphony showhome a few years ago. Their prices are reasonable, I think because they do such a tremendous business, furniture being dropped off and being picked up every time I shop there. They were on Greenspring in Timonium, MD but they moved right before Christmas, I think- across the street or nearby but not sure. Need a shopping day soon I think. There are so many antique shops in the area I can't just pick one. There is antique row in Baltimore. A new fav of mine is the Good Life Market in Ellicott City MD. 2 buildings both incredible. Any shop in Ellicott City is not to be missed if you visit the area.It is an historic mill town and is quite charming.Home decor, antique, shabby chic, bakeries restaurants, new age shops,railroad museum. I am lucky enough to be able to hike down the historic trolley trail and visit( not for serious shopping though)

What's your favorite store?

To pick only one, probably Menards. I like picking up on their free after rebate items. Plus they have good prices on most everything else too. I also like Walgreens. Surprising variety for a drug store and they get in some good deals occasionally. Other stores that deserve honorable mention: -Target: Has *really* improved in the past 10-15 years. Got to where I wouldn't set foot in there but now I go there often and they're really getting to be a force in the grocery business. A station found them WAY cheaper than Walmart on the variety of items they surveyed and they've surprised me with their prices. Plus I like picking up on their clearance sales. Fleet Farm: Nice place to wander but it bugs me they want your driver license and a signed contract to use the electric carts! Not from me you don't get that there stuff! But they have good durable clothes at reasonable prices, best place around to buy car, boat or mower batteries. K-mart: For certain things. Plus they've cleaned up their act in the past 10 years but have sunk so low that nobody realizes it. I used to like going to Big Lots but they're not convenient to get to around here so I haven't been there for a long time.

What are your favorite catalogs/online stores for linens?

Garnet Hill for sure, most of the GH linens are made in Portugal (not the Lilly Pulitzer and other designer stuff, I've never ordered any of those) and are very nice quality, have great and fun prints, last forever and aren't all silky, just crisp and clean feeling. They also have great sales at the end of the seasons and every day they have "Sale of the day" items, you can get some great deals on their sheets when they are on the sale of the day. sandyponder

bigack thanks for asking about us.I had 3 teeth cut out tues afternoon at 3.30 and the dentist gave me 5 shots and never did get me deaded.Finally I had sit till my tailbone felt like it was being removed itself,so I said pull it now.Well after she pulled,yanked,twisted the next thing I knew I had passed out and had two little things in my nose and the nurse blowing air on my face.
I am hurting now.The med they gave me for infection keeps making me so sick on my stomach,and my head hurts.It gave me the jerks like when someone gets a eperdial when you having a baby.The dentist said I had a reaction to nodcain.The meds they put in the shot to deaden the gums,and teeth,greg said it was too much meds.
I tell ashley ever day to see what I am going thur and really take care of her teeth,to floss and brush.I try taking care of my but I keep having infection in my gums,and teeth.
Toothaches are no fun.The wind is blowing real hard tonite,and its cold out side and it really got where I had these teeth cutout hurting so so bad.I been up 3 nites can't sleep in pain.I ran fever today and my face is so swallon and really red.
