Have You Ever Seen These?

I just bought these chrome stacking candleholders at a thrift store. Has anyone ever seen them before? I can't tell if they are old or new....

There are 3 pieces there that you can move around and rearrange into different possitions.

I am still in NY.  A clue: it is an island, but not a long one.

What's Your Favorite Craft Store?

I recently found out that Michaels The Arts and Crafts Store is now open in Woodside, Queens.  Martha Stewart is always talking about MICHAELS.  So I went for a visit a few weeks ago.  My review is it is very nice and is full of creative things to do creative things.  With it being just about 30 to 45 minutes (depending on traffic), I am glad I finally got there5106 Northern Blvd

Would you buy a RED DSLR?

Call me an old fart, but I really think all SLRs--D or otherwise--should be black. Pentax, however thinks differently. Their new entry-level DSLR, the K-x comes in red. And white, navy blue and--thank goodness--black. » READ MORE

Would you live in a suburban office park?

So asks Michael Cannel at Fast Company. The question was prompt by the proposed conversion of the Bell Labs campus in Holmdel, New Jersey. Designed by Eero Saarinen, the property was the Fertile Crescent of transistors and cell phones, which, according to New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, makes it a piece of 'science heritage of all mankind'.

What won't you give up in this economy?

MWT has drawn a line in the sand. We will continue to shop for groceries at the co-op even though we could save 20% of our grocery expenses by going to our local food super store. I've decided I don't need any new clothes any time soon. Books are a different story. (Gotta have my books.) I'll be passing on any new DVDs, except maybe when the 2nd season of The Big Bang Theory comes out. (I'll play a game of Rock, Paper, Lizard, Scissors, Spock with MWT to decide.) » READ MORE

Vintage Doors into Tabletops?

I have these two beautiful vintage doors. I want to turn them into tabletops.

I have most of it figured out. The legs will come from here: http://www.tablelegsonline.com/shop/20-htype-legs-p-361.html?cPath=8_289

What I'm unsure of is how to finish the top. I don't want to use a slab of glass laid over. I'd like to do some version of using lacquer, glaze, finish of some sort to create a thick, clear finish that makes the surface flat (ie. fills i » READ MORE

Is the Chia Obama in bad taste?

Have you seen this little item yet? I saw the television commercial for it for the first time last night and almost shot milk out of my nose. Apparently, it was available at Walgreens, but after a bunch of complaints, they pulled it from the shelves. You can still buy it, however » READ MORE
