Amazing Blog?

I thank my son for including my new blog on his list of "amazing" blogs. He probably felt duty-bound... I plan to provide more useful information in the near future, but right now I look pretty bland. I'm still trying to find an audience and I need to connect with other bloggers who are interested in interior design, landscape design, pets, art, volunteer work, cooking, etc., etc. I expect that most of Andy's readers are young enough to be my children, so I say get your parents interested in blogging and we will expand the blogging world exponentially!

Cookies Direct From Italy

Do you want to send a unique gift to friends for the holidays? You can surprise someone with a box of beautiful homemade cookies from Sicily. The prices are surprisingly reasonable. The cookies are well packaged and arrive in a box with charming Italian postage stamps (I mention the stamps only because people always comment about them). The bakery has been in business for 33 years and I have been buying cookies from them for myself and as gifts for about five years now. The reaction from gift recipients is always genuine delight -- especially since the package comes straight from Italy. You can even ask this guy -- he actually submitted a favorable comment on their site. Prices are in Euros but there is a handy conversion table. The cookies are baked to order exclusively from their own home grown natural almonds, figs, pistachio, sesame, fresh farm eggs, flour and sugar. There are several varieties. Try Cookies From Italy -- I don't think you will be disappointed. If you do want cookies to arrive in the states in time for Christmas the deadline for ordering is Sunday, December 11.

Printer Cartridges

Are you interested in finding a great source for inexpensive printer cartridges? I have been purchasing cartridges from "Baby E CO" for home and business for over five years. These are GENERIC versions of printer cartridges for all the major printers, but my experience has been that I cannot tell the difference in quality and color from the Epson brand cartridges I used to buy. They also carry laser toner cartridges and a variety of other related items. If you prefer to have your cartridges refilled they do that too. Their prices are very low, customer service is excellent, and shipping is very fast with a flat rate no matter how many things you order. Check out their site and read the customer comments -- you'll see I'm just one of many who thinks they are great!
It's a good thing...

Welcome To My Blog

It is my intention to bring you information which deals generally with successful internet shopping. I have been purchasing virtually everything that can be bought online for about eight years now. Friends and family rely on me to help them find good deals and reputable vendors, so I thought this information might be useful to a wider audience. Since I am a wife, mother, grandmother, homeowner, world traveler, and pet owner, the things that I purchase range widely and therefore will vary in their appeal to different age groups and populations. I hope you'll check in occasionally to see if there is something of interest to you.
