I caught part of HGTV's I Want That! and hit their website in search of a bottle cap tripod. While I was there, I decided to browse through all 200+ products listed on their site and found a few that looked interesting enough to blog for later reference:
And some other things I had filed away to look at later:
Also, how come I haven't heard of the Anthropologie catalog before? I could never afford anything from it, but those dresses are delicious to look at. I almost peed myself when I saw the emerald dress comes in my size. If I had a million dollars, that would be my green dress. </obligatory BNL joke>
- Shower Manager, a shower time limiter that reduces the water flow after a preset time (5, 8, or 11 minutes).
- self-watering stacking planters (this induced immediate lust in me, especially since the self-watering pot the peppers are in makes it *so* much easier to care for that I'd like them for all the trees, the hibiscus and the grapes)
- NoginSox bicycle/sports helmet covers
- Nature Mill, a home composter that uses electricity for easy hot composting
- Critter Cord cord covers to deter pet chewing
And some other things I had filed away to look at later:
- NAS-12 Mold Cleaner and Stain Remover
- Mother and Ducklings pin (yet another time I blog about Make Way For Ducklings merchandise)
- Nite Glowring supposed to glow up to glow for up to 10 years, £9.95 plus shipping.
- Bath Wizard repair kit for fiberglass, porcelain and cultured marble
- Sparkability, a catalog that makes me wonder what would happen if Better Living Through Design had a kids' section. Also, they carry my two favorite modern doll houses, the Villa Sibi and the Woody Click Holiday Home. Seriously, it's cool kids' stuff for the modern design and generally-anti-plastic-toy types in your life.
- A sterling silver airplane spoon. I don't need to say anything about this, its pricetag is its own punchline.

Gordon is my favorite BNL album.
Besides, the last physical CD I bought was stolen out of Vogon's car, so I only have the case and my digital backup copy anyway.
(And I totally want to see a photo of you in the dress you buy from there. Laurel is still jealous that you and Lola have matching track jackets.)
Iif I posted about how I shop for clothing, I'd fear that people would get together and call out some kind of fashion hit on me. I've been wearing too-big jeans since Christmas because the Eddie Bauer outlet stopped carrying pants in my size and I don't have a clue where to find straight-leg, normal rise, non-stretch jeans in my size now. I'm thinking about giving up and going back to men's jeans.
What size are you? Even stores like Gap, Banana Republic, etc. (I don't know what other stores you have in the Dallas area) sell size 0 jeans.
I think I'm a size 2. That's what size jeans I used to have from Eddie Bauer, but I'm confused by women's sizes after trying on jeans last summer at Kohl's. Vogon picked out pairs four or five different sizes for me and they all seemed to fit about the same, except for one pair that was stretch. I do not like stretch denim.
Are you serious? That's terrifying!
You're such a peanut. Women's sizes are confusing. "Vanity sizing" makes shopping for pants difficult. It seems like all brands have different sizing. As far as I know, men's sizing for pants is much more standardized. You should be able to find size 2 pants pretty much everywhere.
