I’d like to thank everybody for making our two year anniversary sale successful. This month we are featuring 35% off all Mercury Mosaics ceramic switch plates.  These have been discontinued so they are in limited supply.  We even have a few of the last remaining stock of round ceramic switch plates.  We are also in the midst of adding a new artist, Metallum Creations, out of Tucson Arizona.

There are also some new outdoor products coming really soon.

This week’s feature website is LikeCool – The Coolest Gadget Magazine. This site is a barrage of cool things from furniture, to videos to posters to cars and everything else that is like cool. It is pretty bare bones, with most just having a picture and a title. However you can pick up some great ideas and many will spur you on to research more about whatever cool object strikes your fancy. A few items do actually include prices and a link of where you can get them, but mainly they are a great way of viewing many items in a short span of time.

Our top ten list this week is dominated by ceramic switch plates from All Fired Up! We also have a Rosalie Sherman product for the first time and some house numbers from Brass Accents.
