Great Prices Here

I have been thinking of making my living room just a tad high brow, by adding some art on the walls. I mean you grow up, right, and then you can’t have all these sophomoric posters up on the wall, which while may be amusing have got to go! I may not know a lot about art, but as they say, I know what I like! While I love Monet’s style and could not afford a single one of his works if I won a lottery, thankfully I can get prints or reproductions reasonably priced.

Here I found available hand painted Oil Painting Replicas of Art masterpieces.  They claim to send you an image of your original hand painted, reproduction oil painting to approve BEFORE they ship it to you showing every detail of the original oil Painting. So you can have yourself an actual painted Sunflowers, by Van Gogh, probably one of the most famous paintings in the world hanging on your wall for the price of $74.80. Or perhaps you may like Monet, the way I do and want this classic painting such as the one pictured here hanging on the wall.

I have recently been reading up a lot of about tea, its health benefits, and it healing nature and getting to like the drink a lot too. Incidentally my significant other loves tea and I think a tea assortment would make a lovely, unusual and classy gift not only for him but for anyone really who enjoys tea and views tea drinking as part of social intercourse rather than the mere consumption of a beverage.  And to be sure tea is not an easy subject to navigate: there is green tea, white tea, black tea, herbal tea, oolong tea, the list is seemingly endless.

At this online tea store I found some lovely tea gift sets, including samplers of different kinds of tea: green, white, black etc., and tea hampers that include a unique tea pot that strains tea for you.

Pieces of furniture, wall colors etc ., even if not very remarkable, can be offset by a few individual and even quirky touches here and there to make a interesting and unusual whole. A few interesting home accents can enhance your home by making it unique and giving it your own personal stamp. A little wall art here a whimsical garden ornament there, can do a lot to give your home character.

I think it is a great idea to have some greenery inside the home or perhaps on the porch, for this it is a good idea to get a matched set of planters, such as this one here; a metal planter set of three for just $50. I also liked this set of two planters, tall and elegant for $79.

I know that Amish made furniture is not cheap, but when you look at the fact that it is built to last, and never seems to go out of style, it does make a lot of sense to buy. Especially if there is a sale on! I came across this site that has up to 33% off on their items of furniture and I found a lot of stuff there which I really liked:

This bedroom set includes a queen size contemporary bed, a dresser with mirror and a chest of drawers that is admittedly very steep at upward of $5000, but they do offer a hefty $1,176 discount, so that it is yours for $3,918. Yes I know, still not cheap; but if you are looking to make a life time investment in your furniture, then this is the sort of thing that you may just want to consider.

My favorite time of year is coming soon; Christmas. I still remember the excitement of going to bed on Christmas Eve when I was a child; the almost breathless excitement in the anticipation of Santa Claus coming with his bag full of goodies while I slept so that when I woke up there would be all these lovely surprises waiting for me! After all Christmas is all about giving and sharing and gifting, so go forth and shop! If we can find discounts, all the better! And No! It is not cheap to buy discounted gifts, it is merely smart!

I am of a mind to revamp my entire kitchen, and in for the kind of cookware that looks good and is pleasure to cook with. I did a post about this a long time ago and the subject can do with some updating I think. I think it is a good idea to go in for a cookware set, for several reasons; it is a matched set so it looks really good, the set usually comprises graded sizes so that you have a appropriate vessel for any kind of requirement and also since you are buying a set it will probably entitle you to a discount too!

This 10 piece non stick cookware set is available from Amazon for $74.12 which is down from $99.99; pretty good deal I thought. Six pans of different sizes and four of them have lids. [Read more →]

I finished reading my regular blogs and every time I visit stephenfung.net, I end up feeling hungry and longing for some tasty treats, so you can say that it was Stephen Fung that inspired me to do this post.

Ok the reason that I am such a great cook (so I have been told repeatedly; it’s not just my own conceit speaking), is for two reasons: I love good food and I am self taught. If there is a particular dish that I like to eat, I teach myself to cook it. And there is this incredible resource which gives you every recipe you can possibly dream of and that is the World Wide Web. For years now, I have not bought a recipe book; simply because any recipe that I want I can find on the internet free of charge! And the really good thing is that you can browse by cuisine, calorie, snacks, desert, main course or just about any criterion.

If you or your kids did any back to school purchases recently, you will have noticed how the weakened economy has made manufacturers and retailers alike slash prices to the extent that you may almost think that you are in a time warp as NY Times reported last month. “A penny these days buys eight No. 2 pencils at Staples or a wooden ruler at OfficeMax. Fifty cents buys a watercolor set at Target. A box of 24 Crayola crayons is the cost of a gumball – 25 cents. Or, as Sharon Hartley, vice president for United States marketing and sales for Crayola, put it: “Sixteen boxes of a 24-pack equals a gallon of gas.” Puts things in perspective doesn’t it!

Did I ever tell you what my most favorite pastime in the world is? It is to be out in the garden and read a book while the birds chirp quietly around me. So in aid of this lazy hobby of mine and the fact that casual entertaining is always best out in the garden, (and garden ‘dos’ are quite the norm at our house) I like to have some nice lawn and garden items around me, since I really enjoy spending time out of doors.

So for those casual get together of family or friends this 10 piece patio set I really liked available for $284.99, down from $549.99. For this price you get the glass dining table, 4 sling chair, 2 sling recliners and two sling ottonams. Now if you have a pool to set it up next to, wonderful, if not, never mind, your friends will still love it!

Do you recycle? Well I do and let me tell you, it gives me a lot of satisfaction! To know that you try to do your bit for the environment is a good feeling! And I don’t think I mentioned it before, but I recently bought me an electric scooter and I love, love, love it! Electric vehicles are such a green thing too!

This Glow-in-the-dark light bulb encased in a solid acrylic brick, is charged by absorbing light during the day and releasing it at night. It is not cheap at $30.99 but since it uses no electricity or anything it does kind of pay for itself.
