DII 100% Cotton Everyday Placemat - Set of 6

DII 100% Cotton Everyday Basic Placemats

Set of Six

These are another great DII product! As in their other table linens, these are 100% cotton. Easily machine washed and dried to keep them nice and clean. They are ribbed, so you probably won't have to iron them, as you would if they weren't.

Don't you love this beautiful aqua mint color! Reminiscent of the beach, they go with many of the DII table cloths and runners. And with 6, why not invite your friends over for a summer brunch or lunch outside! Set that picnic table with a lovely DII tablecloth, and add on the placemats! You do the cooking, and I'll bring the wine!

I give these placemats five stars.

And a big thumbs up.

I also give it my personal highly recommended award.

You can purchase the placemats here.

Reader Garden Girl Statue by Design Toscano

Reader Garden Girl Statue

by

Design Toscano

I have been reading since I was a very small child. And I have often taken vacations within the pages of a good book. I can never read enough! So when I saw this statue, I fell madly in love with it!

A young girl is sitting nearly cross legged in her socks, reading a book. Another lies on her leg, with a rose atop it. She has a beatific face. And she looks simply amazing!

Made of resin, the statue looks like stone. And thus, she makes a perfect addition to your summer garden or lawn. She is heavy enough that only fierce winds could topple her. Yet light enough she is easy to place, or move, anywhere.

She is 19-1/2" H x 16-1/2" W x 12" deep, and weighs in at 10-pounds.

She is small enough she would make a lovely addition to your library, as she sits in mine! And I love her here!

I give her five stars.

A big thumbs up.

And my personal recommendation award.

She can be purchased here. (Free shipping!)

Viva Natural Aromatherapy Essential Oils DIffuser

Viva Natural Aromatherapy Essential Oils Diffuser

Oh my! I think I have died and gone to heaven!

This essential oils diffuser is amazing. It not only sends the beautiful scent out into the air, but plays a soothing light show as well!

This diffuser uses less oil than others (so you will save on the cost of your oils simply by not using as much!) It is also dispersed in cooling air, rather than heated (which means less power required, if you're going green, this is for you!)

This diffuser can improve air quality, allergies, sleep patterns, skin health and more! And it humidifies the room!

The diffuser was provided by Amazon Vine, but they are currently unavailable on Amazon, but check back frequently as they are certain to get more!

I give this diffuser five stars.

A big thumbs up.

And my personal highly recommended award.

Irojiten Colored Pencils - Tranquil

Irojiten Colored Pencils - Tranquil

The name says it all. Tranquil. And that's exactly how the chosen color palette makes you feel!

I received these colored pencils with the aim to do some adult coloring books. Haven't done that yet. But I have done some drawing with them! And they color superbly!

This set of 12 pencils comes complete with an eraser and a sharpener. Not many companies include those little extras with their pencils!

Can't wait to do some serious coloring with them! But these are meant for the more serious artist. You can find them here for purchase. Other color palettes are available.

I give these pencils five stars.

A big thumbs up.

And my personal recommended award.

DII 100% Cotton Everyday Beachy Kitchen Table Runner

 

DII 100% Cotton Everyday Beachy Kitchen Table Runner, 14" x 72"

This has got to be one of my all time favorite table runners! How can you not look at those beachy stripes and not feel happy? It's sure to bring out reminiscent times of lying in the sun on the beach, and playing in the waves as they come sliding into the beach!

I can see this runner used indoor in either an informal or formal setting. I can also see it used out of doors with the soft glow of tiki torches lighting for the beachy mood! Adorn it with a platter or white basket filled with seashells and you will have a table ready for anyone!

Made from 100% cotton, you will want to iron, and maybe even starch the runner after machine washing. Use with just about any color tablecloth! Just check out all of the DII tablecloths it will go with online!

I give this runner Five Stars.

A big Thumbs Up.

And my personal Highly Recommended Award.

You can purchase the runner on Amazon.com here.  It retails for $10.99 plus shipping and handling.

Suncast Commercial Snow Pusher

Suncast Commercial Snow Pusher

This is one heavy duty snow pusher! A hefty weight, you won't have to worry about the handle bending or arcing and becoming unusable! The heavy blade is a big wide width which allows you plenty of space to push snow out of the drive or off the walkway! The ergonomic handle gives you plenty of gripping power, no matter how wet the snow is!

All in all, this about the best made snow shovel I've ever seen, and I've been around a while! Great for home, yet heavy enough for a street fronting business that needs to get the snow off the pavement in front! In either case, you won't go wrong!

I give this snow pusher Five Stars.

A Big Thumbs Up.

And my personal Highly Recommended Award.

 This product is available on Amazon.com here. It comes in 20", 24", and 27" widths, so you can find just the perfect size for your snow pushing job!

DII 100% Cotton Terry Dishcloths

DII 100% Cotton Terry Dishcloths

Love these terry dishcloths! They come in a generous 12" x 12" size. And there are 6 in a pack!

There is nothing better than a toughly woven terry cloth for cleaning dishes! The nubby weave allows you to do some serious scrubbing when needed, and yet they are soft enough to wash your finest crystal. And the generous size allows you to clean up some pretty big spills without having to constantly wring out the cloth.

You get 3 of each of the beige and white dishcloths pictured here. You can purchase them on Amazon.com here. They retail for $8.99 plus shipping and handling. Definitely worth every cent!

Design Toscano Cat Memorial Statue

Design Toscano Cat Memorial Resin Statue

My fur ball cat is still, thankfully, with me. But I fell in love with this statue and had to have it! Perfect for kitty's final resting place, it is a small 5-1/2 inches tall. Made of resin, it can stand any weather. And it's an off-white, so it will not fade.

Beautifully sculpted, arched wings adorn the back of this collared kitty. It's head is tilted up just right. You know this kitty is looking at you adoringly.

For now, this kitty statue sits on a shelf. But when the time comes, it will adore my fur baby's final resting place. Seeing it now, she knows I love her now, and always will.

Marchesa Shades of White Dinner Plate by Lenox

Marchesa Shades of White Dinner Plate by Lenox

When it comes to beautiful china or crystal, Lenox is the name you can trust! And this plate (full dinnerware available) is no exception!

Beautiful brilliant white, with scalloped edges, that are trimmed in gold. A generous dinner sized plate, that can even go in the microwave! (No the gold trim won't harm the microwave, or vice-versa.) Made of ironstone, the plate is completely durable. It can even go in the dishwasher without fear of losing that gold luster trim!

You can purchase a single plate at a time on Amazon.com here. It retails for $25.25.

I give this Five Stars.

A big Thumbs Up.

DII 100% Cotton Kitchen Table Runner

DII 100% Cotton Kitchen Table Runner

This is a lovely kitchen table runner. Another 100% cotton table runner from DII. I love their items for your kitchen or dining area, because if you purchase a light blue table cloth, even if it's a print, you can use any light blue table runner from their collection and it will coordinate with the table cloth! Isn't that cool?

This table runner measures a generous 14" x 72". So your table will look fabulous! It has a 1-1/2 inch hem. Which is very neatly stitched. This will be perfect for spring and summer! It will fit a table nicely that seats 4-8 people.

If there are any cons to having this runner, it would only be that to make it look crisp, you will need to iron and starch it! You could probably get by with simply ironing it if you use it in the kitchen. But for any formal setting, you will need to starch it. (Also, starching it will help to repel any spills for a short while, giving you a chance to clean them up before staining.)

This DII 100% Cotton Table Runner is available on Amazon.com here. It retails for $12.99 plus shipping and handling.

I give this runner Five Stars.

I also give it a big Thumbs Up.

And I give it my personal Highly Recommended Award.

Black and Decker Cordless Kettle

Black & Decker Cordless Kettle

I love this kettle! It's sleek and modern look, yet old charm of a stove top tea kettle allows it to blend in with any kitchen! Modern, traditional, or old world!

The base is a heat conductor. When the kettle is placed on the plate the kettle heats up. It has a 7 cup capacity (1.7 litre). Perfect for filling your tea pot with! Stainless interior allows for quick and easy cleaning! So, you could brew in it if you liked.

The best thing of all, is that there are no cords attached to the kettle! Which means you heat the water (takes about 90-120 seconds to heat a full pot) and then lift the kettle and move it anywhere to use! Love it! Take it to the table, another counter, pour water baths for your custards, make instant oatmeal, or simply a cup of hot water to put a tea bag in! Love, love, love it!

There is a red zone in the kettle that makes water boil faster if you are only heating 1-3 cups. And there is a removable filter (inside, just behind the pour spout) that catches sediment or scaling. You can remove this and clean it whenever you need to. But best of all, it means none of that gunk goes in your consumable water!

And you don't have to worry about the kettle boiling dry! There is a sensor that turns the kettle off once the water comes to a boil, or if it is empty! How cool is that?

Love the black color! It goes with anything! (However, a pretty red would please me as well, and it comes in black, white, or red!)

You can purchase the cordless kettle on Amazon.com here.  It retails for $49.99, and has FREE shipping and handling!

I give this wonderful kettle Five Stars.

A big Thumbs Up.

And I give this my personal Highly Recommended Award.
