The Kitchen Table

Help in Locating Company

15 years ago

Last year I bought a 100 pieces EZ Ornament Hanger which are really great. They are basically a plastic hanger that has an opening where you slip the top part of the ornament over it and down into a very small hole. These things are really great as you can hang heavy ornaments, put ornaments on limbs that aren't real thick, and put them in hard to reach places.

So here's my dilema. I got out the bag of what was left this year. There was a cardboard insert that says " 100 pieces EZ Ornament Hanger" and below that see back panel for details. I thought (never do things like that an hour before a party)I safely put said back panel in one of the containers we use to store ornaments, but when I went to look for it, tain't no where to be found. I know there was a web site listed but don't remember what it was. And of course I didn't write it down. Grrr

Does anyone here use them or know what I'm talking about and can help me? I want to get more of them for next year (we have a big tree trim party every year and so need new hangers) and I've checked all the store that might carry them to no avail. I'm sure there's a store here somewhere and that the web site would list it.

Thanks for any thing you can do for me.

They look so familiar. It seems like I used something similar but I haven't decorated a tree in four years so I'm not sure if they're the same.

If I have time I'll dig out the boxes and take a look, if not I'll look around the stores here. Seems like they have the clear ones too, if I remember correctly.

Hey, there. I'm up in Cecil Co., MD and also getting replacement windows and sliding doors. I had wanted Marvins but the quote for the windows and doors also was phenomenal. So I'll be going with the Anderson 400 Woodrights instead (30% less). I've searched around and have found few complaints about them. My contractor has built custom homes with them for several years and hasn't had complaints, either. Actually, my 20+ yr old Andersen windows don't leak either. At least with vinyl exterior, I also won't have to worry about the salt water warranty exclusion of Marvin (and Jen-Weld and probably other aluminum frame windows). I'm near the Bohemia River and the water is practically fresh-but when I emailed Marvin about the exclusion applying to my area, I didn't get a direct yes or no answer.

Countertop Seam Location Help!!

I would suggest that you consider putting the seam in the middle of the sink, but since you're doing slate, you may want to stick with plan B.... Not trying to be "self promoting" here, BUT - We put seams in the middle of the sink all the time - no problems... BTW - The majority of guys (fabricators) that talk smack about seams in the middle of sinks are mainly the ones that don't know how to do them right in the first place, just don't have the long term experience or are intimidated by the extra work and attention to detail that goes into doing a well executed middle of the sink seam.... I'm just saying.... ALSO - have you or would you consider a material OTHER than slate? the slabs are historically "microscopic" in relationship to conventional granite slabs. IF you went with a granite or an engineered stone, your slab sizes will be larger so your seaming layout will be a bit more friendly and give you more aesthetic latitude..... HTH kevin

I would like to see the person that lived there. Google is your friend. :D The Candyland House The outside of Jackie Seiden's house matches the inside. Everything is some shade of pastel blue, green, yellow, orange or pink. "The inside grew into these pastel colors, and I carried them on to the outside," said the 76-year-old retired art teacher, who has lived at 1525 W. Pratt Blvd. for the last 40 years. When she first moved in, she said, the house was painted a "drab olive green." That had to go. Now, the ceilings inside sparkle with a glitter-infused pastel pink, while a pair of pianos match the color scheme. She said even the handles of her silverware are painted pastel. The neighborhood kids call the home the "Barbie House." Seiden said the inspiration for the colors came from sneaking into the now-defunct Edgewater Beach Hotel with her friends as a youth. The "colored deco" style "really stuck with me," she said. "I'm insane." Source

Thanks monica and zeetera I appreciate your help. They make them in both green and white. I did contact the UK company, but they don't ship to the US. However, they are the exact same thing I'm trying to find.

A friend thinks he remembers our buying them at Target so I'm going to check that out today. These hangers are really great and if I find them, better believe I'm going to stock up as well as making sure of the web site.

I looked at the UK site and saw some ribbon hangers like I got at K-mart this year. You might try there for you EZ hangers.

I tried two department stores but they didn't sell hangers at all. I'll try more stores later when I go out.

If I get a chance I'll check my boxes and if they're the same thing, you can take what I have.

Could you use paper clips?
Just straighten them out and leave
a curve on each end. Have a hanger making party.
I have made these when I
couldn't find anything else.
Good luck

Dollydolots a paper clip won't work as it's not as strong. Thanks for the offer zeetera and I'd be happy to take them off your hands if you find them.

I did try Kmart too and the same there. Earthlydelights, thanks for the site info. The packages I'm looking for come in 50 or 100 but I'll keep the site in mind.

Really appreciate all the responses.

Thanks

Wish I'd seen your post yesterday when I was trying to get those daggone metal things stay on my ornaments. I kept thinking there had to be something out there better--I'm sure looking for those!

I'm still looking. The place where I thought had them now has mostly Made in China stuff. They did have unusual hooks but not like that.

I'll try to get to the boxes this weekend.

I quickly went through the boxes last night and didn't see them. There were some green coated wire ones that were shaped like funny W's. This morning I looked in a box labeled Trash and there were ornaments with similar hooks attached.

Not the same thing but if you're interested I can stick them in an envelope for you. There isn't many but may be more in the other boxes. They're destined for the trash anyway so let me know.

I have those hooks. I bought from Lowe's home improvement last year. will look for you tomorrow. do you still want them? about how many? If too late for this Christmas, I can wait for the after Christmas sale and buy them then.

These aren't the ez hangers you're looking for but why couldn't you use lanyard hooks/hangers? They are metal, come a bunch to a package and are fairly cheap. I'm pretty sure I got mine at Walmart but the way they keep changing out the store and stuff they sell you might be better off looking for them at Michaels or Hobby Lobby.
