Ohhh... I just realized how dirty my window is! Oh well - the price of living in an old house, I suppose.

I love that wagon - it's an old cotton trailer that my husband took the sides off of. We use it for a picnic table at barbecues and in October we put hay bales on it and invite all the neighbors and our daughters' friends for a haunted hayride.

Thanks, Chandra. I feel like I'm "talking" way too much, but y'all are so warm and friendly.

My daughters' former babysitter had one in her kitchen going from cabinet to cabinet. I don't have any high cabinets, so I improvised!

My grandparents had a fancy horse collar (gosh..it is late and I can't remember what they are called!!!!) like the one in your picture to the right of the window...with a mirror set into it when I was growing up. I LOVED it. It had wood things sort of around it and fancy brass balls that stood up at the top...dressy harness for sure...but just an idea...they look cool with a mirror in them!

Jennifer,
i was wondering if it gets cold in the winter without fabric curtains at the windows? I have two windows that are difficult to curtain because of how they are situated. Real close to the wall on one side. The kitchen window is right up next to a corner. What holds the punched tin curtain up there?

Denise,

The curtains are nailed to the inside of the window, but I'm sur there's a less permanent solution to keeping them up there.

I haven't really noticed a problem with the cold. Or maybe I just didn't realize that fabric curtains would help so much! :)

I just got a new tip and I love it! My son and dil came up for Thanksgiving and my dil told me that her mother uses a flat razor blade knife to scrape the black rings off her glass top stove. I was skeptical and afraid it might scratch it and so I went at it cautiously last night. It worked beautifully! All this time I've tried scrubbing and scrubbing with soft rags and nylon scrubbers(to no avail) and this was so much easier and actually got them off.
