Did you know that the ‘lowly’ garlic pod is brimming with healthful benefits? And none of them have the side effects of prescription drugs? (The drug IS the side effect, but that’s a different story!) Yet it’s inexpensive and readily available. What could be sweeter? So, my son and I are currently doing a 30 day […]

We sell vintage prints on Amazon and it’s always a thrill to see what other art lovers actually do with their prints. So when a lovely lady named Sonia, who lives in Chile, sent us these pictures we were so excited! Sonia bought several works from artist M. C. Escher and you can see what […]

The scumbags who invade our privacy in such a nasty way deserve boils or locusts or some other plagues to fall on their evil heads! The FTC states that the biggest single complaint they […]

If you’re in the United States you already know that today is our annual Labor Day holiday. All schools and many government offices are closed and it’s one of my favorite days in the year.
