Each late afternoon has been spent at the lake since it has been so hot. We finally got some much needed rain, not a lot, but enough to water the gardens. Since swimming was out, we decided to start the weekend early, and watch a movie. Our daughter let us borrow her copy of Advatar. What a good movie that was - not just the animation, but the actual story too. I know most people have already seen it - we usually wait until it comes out on DVD, but if you haven’t seen it, it is worth watching. A bit longer than the typical movie, but it keeps the interest the whole way through. I can understand why it won so many Academy Awards! |

We still have a few of the pretty blue and white Spode plates left in the inventory. We have 6 different patterns, and you can find them here. They are all part of The Blue Room Collection and are Made in England. The Seasons plate is my favorite, but the Botanical one runs a close second. They are all 11 inches across and are considered a dinner plate. But they are too pretty to use for food - I think they make a much nicer wall hanging. Either way, they are quite beautiful and collectible at the same time!

This is a book that was published by the National Geographic Society in 1978. The 207 pages have great photos and paintings that delve into America’s past. As explorers headed west into unknown lands new discoveries were made. This hardcover book shares those discoveries as only the National Geographic Society can. And at only $4.99, it’s a great deal for a great read. |

Wishing all my US customers a Happy July 4th! Hope you are all safe in your travels during this busy time on the highways. Summer, family, and friends are the best part of this holiday, but it is important to remember those who are serving in the military so we can continue to celebrate this day. Enjoy!! |

We are looking for quality links to add to our Links Page. In the past I have spent hours searching for websites that I think my customers might enjoy as I do. Many webmasters do not respond to a link exchange, so I gave up that method long ago. Most of the ones listed I have dealt with and know they are quality sites run by people who care. I am very picky - I don’t exchange links just to increase the number that I have listed on the page. And I don’t exchange with everyone who asks - your site must be clean, honest, and offer a quality service or product. After all, our online reputations have a lot to do with the sites we link to.
