I’m a huge Etsy fan. I’ve purchased original art and vintage china with much success. Each season, I buy a new Liberty print dog collar for my dog. (No need to explain further, as I’ve already admitted my unhealthy Liberty obsession.) Recently, prompted by the impending births of many...

From the land of hyper-high-tech, super-modern, too-cool-for-most (certainly too cool for me), I bring you Design Spotter. The blog is an endless list of objects ranging from Norwegian cabinetry to a vases shaped like grenades — with deadpan headlines that may or may not be intentionally funny. (“Canadian...

Pretty much everyone knows that composting is a great way to recycle our kitchen scraps, but did you know you can get worms to do the work! Worm or vermicomposting recycles your organic kitchen scraps into fertilizer that’s good for your garden courtesy of hardworking red worms. The worms eat the scraps, remove the toxins and excrete a highly concentrated fertilizer, called castings, which looks like very fine black dirt. In addition, since most vegetable scraps are composed...

I’m petrified that word will get out, and the store will be overrun with overzealous shoppers, elbowing their way to get to the goods. Chaos and carnage will ensue.
