saving money

I have noticed that it is cheaper to order online and have goods delivered  than to shop locally.

This saddens me because local economies depend on our patronage.

I have a friend that works for a publishing house and she often mentions how important it is to frequent our own excellent bookstores rather than succumbing to Abebooks or Amazons wiles…

So here’s a question as we quickly approach the major shopping season;

How many of you use online shopping?

Do you try to find local stores or businesses to obtain the same things?

Did you know that many stores should they not have the items that you require will special order for you ?

(I often do this, and it is wonderful to have local stores care enough to provide such service)

thinking about tea

I have just gotten some of my fav loose tea(Christmas tea, they call it); only available at this time of year until sometime in January.

It is gorgeous; smells like a combo of orange(but REALLY lovely and fragrant oranges) with some spice, but the orange is predominant as it is NOT a chai. It also has a touch of vanilla tea so it tastes very smooth and comforting; exactly what one wants when it is cool and windy and the sun is NOTICEABLY  disapearing earlier each afternoon.

Then I was browsing and found THIS intriguing object; a combination of a kettle AND a tea pot!

VERY pretty aren’t they!

“Winner of the 2009 World Kitchen Tea Off competition Vessel Ideation’s one teakettle is a single vessel “designed with both boiling and serving in mind”. Once filled with water and placed over the stove to heat, the graphics on the kettle’s side slowly appear (the graphics are applied with thermochromic inks). Once they fully appear the tea is ready. A magnetic trivet can then be attached to the bottom of the kettle so that it can be safely placed on a table. The magnetic trivet is heat activated, so it drops off once the kettle is cool.”

Seems like a fabulous idea!!!

sleeve faces(amazing !)

I found this site through Stumbleupon; and was mesmerized.

http://www.sleeveface.com/

The premise is to take an album cover(remember records?) and intigrate it with a living person;

or as it says on the site;

“one or more persons obscuring or augmenting any part of their body or bodies with record sleeve(s) causing an illusion”

Here’s an example(this is a Connie Francis cover). Cute!

and here’s Andy Williams; very cool!

Pretty amazing; check out the site!

and video, which says it all MUCH better..
