new recommendations

by Nina on January 15, 2009

As many of you know, I’ve struggled with recommendation “widgets” time and time again. I want it to be user-friendly for you and me… mainly you but it helps if I can use it too.

Amazon has given me the opportunity to not only give you a place to find all of the items that I discuss here on the blog but will hopefully help keep this little abode a float with a little revenue. Please don’t forget that 703 is owned by my parents… I just live here… temporarily.

More importantly… New Stuff! My entire list is on the Left Side-Bar nestled inside the Amazon Widget!

I found these Recycled Confetti Mixing Bowls right before Christmas in the middle of last minute shopping and fell in love with them. The one below is the XL (12.75″ in diameter and 6.25″ high). They are made with recycled melamine. Going green one mixing bowl at a time!


The next item is the cookbook that Martha referenced when she taught us how to steam salmon during the show I attended with Lulu.

Martha Stewart’s Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook

Cashmere Mafia did not survive on network television but I loved it. If you are a fan of Lipstick Jungle, you’ll love this one too. Perfect box set for a gloomy Sunday afternoon.

Cashmere Mafia – The Complete Series

The perfect pen for all of those Thank You Notes you’ll be writing!! Thank you, Julie M. for this recommendation. Very profesh! *I’m glad I ordered 12 because they disappear off of my desk like little pieces of gold.

Liquid Flair Pen, Extra Fine Point, Black Ink, Sold as 1 box(12 per box)

I just fell in love with Lipstick Jungle (SO much better than the book btw!) and they are taking it away.

Feeling unsure if it’s wise to start in on the Cashmere Mafia knowing it won’t last…there is only so much heartbreak one can take!!

I am a pen freak so that is super exciting! Love that bowl too!

Cashmere Mafia was such a fun show!

Fun stuff! I saw the confetti bowls at a local dept. store here in Omaha and loved them!

I ordered a box of those pens from work before I retired to be a SAHM. Is it bad that I took ALL of them with me ?? Funny thing is…they still disappear at my house too. Hmmm….

I adore Martha! Your blog is so fun! I hope you don’t mind if I add you to my daily reads!

My favorite shows always get canceled. I loved ‘Cashmere Mafia’ and up until last Friday, at least, loved ‘Lipstick Jungle.’ I was glad ‘Lipstick Jungle’ had at least a nice final episode (and I heard it may not be canceled for sure).

I loved that show as well, and I was sad to learn it was cancelled. Thanks for the tips!

GREAT recs, girl! Also- my mom made that steamed salmon in the bamboo baskets, like we saw Martha make? She said it was probably the best salmon she’s EVER had! Must have, for sure!
Happy Friday!
xoxo,
Lulu
