My Favorite Things

If Oprah can have her favorite things, I can too!  This is a list of my favorite places to shop, favorite recipes, favorite hints and tips, and a whole lot more. I’ll be adding items from time to time, so check back often and see what new ‘favorites’ I’ve discovered!

  Wisteria: www.wisteria.com. Fabulous!!  A catalog of antiques and unique decorative items for the home and garden collected by the company's owners from all over the world. Shop online, by phone, or if you live in the Dallas, Texas area, you can visit their warehouse outlet.  Sign up online to receive their catalog.

   Have you ever tried to remove candles from glass containers after they’ve been burned for several hours and the wax has solidified? Believe me, it isn’t easy, as the melted wax assumes the shape of the container as it hardens. I ran into this problem when helping to decorate for my niece’s wedding, and I discovered that if you place a small amount of water in the base of the glass candle holder prior to lighting the candle, the candle will slide right out after use. You can also spray a light coating of Pam or other cooking spray and receive the same results.

  If you're looking for a bargain, check out www.hot-deals.org and www.slickdeals.net.  Both sites are updated throughout the day with listings of current deals.  And if you haven't discovered www.craigslist.com, you are truly missing out!  It's similar to the classified section of a newspaper, and the listings are by city, which makes finding items within driving distance super easy.  You can list things for sale, too, and unlike ebay, there are no fees!
