Sigh... I love blue...
Comments (3)There's nothing quite as cool-looking(temperaturewise) as BLUE flowers. I grew Phacelia a few years ago, best blue i ever saw, next to cornflowers. The bell-shaped blue flowers with icy-white anthers were beautiful, and stirred up images of cooler weather. They do have a short bloom time, hot weather just about stops the show, cutting back helps somewhat. Give 'em a try, i believe there are 2 or 3 varieties. Good luck, and enjoy....See MoreCorner medicine cabinet quest
Comments (5)I saw that one, Kirsty. That's definitely an option - other places besides overstock have it so maybe I'll try one of those if all else fails. (overstock charges a restocking fee and you pay for your return shipping.) Can anyone envision why removing that glass and swapping out a mirror would be a problem? I wish I could find one to look at IRL. I did email my GC (long distance reno) and ask about how much to build. I'd much rather have it made out of wood. But beggars can't be choosers. ;-)...See MoreClothes shopping size frustrations (Rant alert!)
Comments (9)Have had the same experience with purchasing clothes all within the same manufacturer and size, being completely differently sized than the tag. However, if you take the time to read the Made In " " tag, our clothes are now sol made in China and Indonesia, or most anywhere but the US. These US designer/companies send the work out to labor intensive sweat shops that pay their workers pennies. There are kids working full time in some countries. They aren't given the opportunity to go to school even if their village may happen to have one. The families need everyone to work to keep a home that many on the decorating forum would not feel fit to camp in, let alone live. Cheap labor begets crappy quality control. I don't think complaining will do much, now if we were to boycott enmasse, then it may be noticed, but how difficult would that be to organize? I absolutely hate to shop and do most of it online. I've noticed my need to return for size being my number one reason for doing so. I've always stuck with the stores that I can confidently order a size 8 and that size 8 will fit. No more. That size 8 may fit like a 10, 12 or 6, totally frustrating. Last bit of rant. I haven't notice the designers lowering the cost of their clothing as it was being assembled in countries where the workers are paid next to nothing. Anyone else notice deep discounts because of not being made in the USA?...See MoreBuying Jeans
Comments (35)I had posted back on that bra thread about the bras I found that I actually can wear and like and stand to be in them all day, I ended up buying several of them on sale and qualified for the bra club so they just sent me a $30 coupon code to get my free bra, I got another one of the same bra. I now have a nice colorful collection and am still really liking this bra. Plus I can find lots of 30-40% off coupons with a quick google search. Wirefree front-hook seamless leisure bra by Comfort Choice� in fact there is a 40% coupon code right there on the page www59892 they have the same bra in a back hook version too. this summer I have lived in my Old Navy cropped pants they are exactly like the yoga pants but in a capri length, I love their yoga pants, I wear them all the time when it is cooler. They are the most comfortable fabric and fit me perfectly. For 4th of July they had a buy 2 get one free sale and they were already marked down I stocked up! Cropped Wide-Leg Yoga Pants they come just below the knee. I do buy them a size smaller than pants I buy elsewhere....See Moredeegw
