Tuesday, August 19, 2003Contemporary SofaI am looking for furniture. When I can, I plan to redecorate our house. I want to make the living room into an entry way with an office. Included will be an area for reading. I like this sofa, but I think it will be a bit large with everything else. http://www.tema-usa.com/American/Azzaro.asp?

I looked up chairs on the Internet and found that the best chair would be a ball. My sister-in-law saw one at the Back Store near the mall. I bought one and today, my housemate inflated it for me. It is very...

In the small rural town near our campsite, there is a great thrift shop. The clothing for women isn't that great, but I found great men's clothing that fits me. We've also found other cooking utensils, books and curling irons that...

It is 9'x 9' and has mesk sides. It would be a great present for my grandchildren. It costs about $150 and it would be a lot of fun. Children have to be at least three years old to play in it safely. My grandson will be three in February... Sign in to see full entry.posted by Make2short at 1:51 PM Comments (2) (link) Wednesday, July 23, 2003REI has tents for saleat the outlet store. REI tents are very well made. So if you want a good tent, but don't want to pay $300+ for it, look at one of the outlet store tents.
