New York Renovator

I’m one of those women who LIKES getting housewares and appliances for gifts. I never liked chocolates, nor perfume, nor flowers (although I always like the intention behind them!). I do like the practical stuff, stuff that makes my kitchen and housework a little easier. So… *HINT HINT* to you(s) know(s) who(s)— check out this smashing item on sale from Buy.com: a Range Kleen wrought iron pot rack! And it’s a SHELF mount, not the kind you hang from the ceiling!

I do not like the ceiling ones, because I have a double dilemma: my kitchen has 9-foot ceilings (too high for me) and I have a 6-foot-1-inch high son, whose head (poor guy) is always dangerously close to my low-hanging chandeliers and hanging baskets! Seeing that I like the kid and would like to have him around for a long time, I’m avoiding heavy iron fixtures with swinging metal cookware hanging from the ceiling! I know, I’m such a devoted mom!

This shelf mount hanging pot rack is all iron, painted RED. I love it! Buy.com has it on sale for under $44, and it includes free shipping. It’s so classy. It would look beautiful in my Soon-To-Be-Renovated Kitchen, don’t you think? It comes in black, too, but I like the red. Classy!

Buy.com is having a huge sale on a lot of stuff right now. Their prices are always good, but there are some special deals just in time for the holidays. Buy.com has helpful gift-idea lists, too, where you can shop for things under certain dollar amounts. Check them out, I know you will find a lot of items for gift-giving. Plus, Buy.com covers a lot of the everyday household supplies that you need: vacuum cleaner parts and accessories, batteries, software, and much more. I love Buy.com! Many things qualify for free shipping, too. Happy shopping!

Well, boys and girls! It’s Friday once again, and you all know what that means! My kitty, Livvy, has been skulking! Some days her hiding places are really, really lame. And then other days, she’s in fine form. It just depends on her mood, I guess. Kinda like celebrity drug rehab– she’s in, she’s out, she’s back in. :-p

Sooo without further ado… CAN you find the kitty?!??! Click to enlarge if you need to. Note that my son, Beetle Bailey, is posing quite well for the photo opp….
