Comments (19)hey denny ... we are here just to trade opinion.. yes???? .. never take anything personally ... and NEVER read between my lines... sometimes in my quest for brevity and concise answers .. i seem to be 'bitter' or angry ... that is NEVER intended ... but i agree it sometimes 'seems' such ... i think its more a caffeine thing.. but mid winter blues really doesnt help .... money is tight everywhere ... all i MEANT to point out.. is that if uncle rich is new and $45 ... and zounds is $9 because its old.. and they look the same.. why pay for a new car every year.. when the old one will work just as well ... and ALWAYS presume.. there are two audiences ... those of us on the cutting edge.. and the newbies ... newbies need to know.. there are historical hosta out there.. and they are available... and they are cheaper most times... and frankly ... some are way better than the carp coming out now .... THAT IS WHY THEY ARE STILL AROUND.... they are the workhorses of the garden ... the driveway hosta .... whether or not URich will be around in 5 years is to be seen ... we know zounds has been around for 20 years .... that ought to tell you something ... take care ken...See MoreWANTED: All the way from Michigan...
Comments (29)I'm dying of laughter. Good laughter - Nancy, here we all are, busting our buns shopping on ebay, perusing posts to glean hints about likes and dislikes, you know, the whole stress thing, and you have put together a perfectly balanced and awesome box right from your own work. I love it. I'm jealous! Janet, RIP, had sent me some items from American Spoon in my first ever swap box. I still remember that sour cherry jam! I did some wallet damage when I was in that store last summer and I had to restrain myself! The box itself, with that painting, is incredible. Y'all are warned not to set foot in that store unless you want to be major overwhelmed (but you'll have a big grin on your face)....See MoreNeed help from the crafty/ingenuitive people that you all are
Comments (13)I had a space in my old kitchen that used to house a garbage disposal and when I took it out I ended up not filling it for some odd reason (can't remember). I ended up putting in a small metal rolling card with a handle on the end. When I was working in the small galley kitchen, I could slide it out and access bowl and things, and then just slide it back in. With the toddler...she could do the same thing, but use a fabric on velcro to cover the spot from prying eyes. (My 2 year old normally won't dig that hard). Or (as I do) keep things that are accessable in plastic containers on that cart). Or she could perhaps just find a door that matches the space size? Paint/finish to match the existing and then build rough shelfs in there (slip of 1x1 down each side and back and slide in a precut shelf). She could also do the shelfs as well and just do the fabric cover verses the door....See MoreWhere are all you vertical people at? :)

We're In Orion township, but our mail goes through Lake Orion's post office. We're transplants from the SoCal and love it here! We've been as far north as Mackinaw but not as far north as you are Elizabeth. A few weekends ago, we took a day drive to the top of the thumb and even in the winter, the lake and sky were beautiful!
I agree with imstillcloecat, there's lots to see and sky on a clear night looks like velvet with diamonds sparkling on it.

It used to be called Mertins Café and was owned by my great grandfather. :) I believe they still have some items from Mertins Café displayed there.
