I like clocks . I like them colourful and I like them big. I have three wall clocks in my own apartment, including the big one below from IKEA. Thing is, some clocks are pricey. For example, I'm quite smitten with this Large Spot Clock . But, at just

Gallery Bargain Saturday: Antique Fair Finds -- I Got Me Some Grain Sacks

Posted by Elana Safronsky 7/3/2010 9:41:00 AM
I know that ' antiques ' and ' bargains' in the same sentence is a bit of a stretch but you know I'm bad at bargains. Point is, you go looking for a bargain, and bargaining is something you do at antique fares, so I think I'm ok. Ontario's big mother

So I'm jogging (HATE IT) through my neighbourhood, and from afar I spot a chair that's been kicked to curb. As I approach I've already made up my mind that I am taking it home and begin to look greedily about for other scavengers who might poach my find

I used to have a cupboard full of mismatched plates , now I just have a few sets of hand-me-downs. All I really want to eat off is a nice set of matching dishware . But, I still love dishes and can't resist picking up something pretty. So, why not put

Bargain Saturday: Industrial Stencils Make a Strong Statement

Permalink
Posted by Jessica McLaughlin 3/13/2010 11:39:00 AM
