I grew up watching reruns of Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best and always loved the little white picket fence that wrapped itself around the front yard. It has always reminded me of lace and I vowed that before I was too old to enjoy it, I would have that fence for my front yard. I waited a long time before I finally got my fence and, this last spring, my sons not only bought it for me, they installed it as well. (more…)

Continuing with the Italian theme, this piece of art is yet another stunning piece. Being less long than other hanging tapestries, it will certainly be a unique addition to you or a loved one’s collection. The design is more of a square format versus the traditional long tapestry. Beautiful tassels adorn each side of Grand Canal of Venice Tapestry and really add to the color of the buildings and clouds in the painting. With a scene of one of the canals in Venice, this will certainly make your space look more serene and peaceful. (more…)

Should we give guns to teachers? Let’s face it;we’re safer in Iraq than we are in English 101. I have the perfect weapon, the small but powerful runt stun gun. It has (3) different voltage levels from 300,000 to 950,000 and has a lifetime warrant from the manufacturer, Stun Master. It’s a great weapon for men or women with small hands. No wonder it is one of the most popular stun guns. (more…)

After getting the much-ballyhooed “Oprah’s Favorite Things” label several years ago, the Barefoot Dreams robe has continued to be a bestseller in boutiques around the country. The hallmark of the robe is the softness and “hand” of the fabric, which goes by the “CozyChic” name. Many people compare the lightness and feel of the CozyChic robe’s material to that of cashmere, but the great thing of course is that you can just toss the Barefoot Dreams robe in the washer because it requires no special care (although we have noted that drying the robe on very high heat causes it to lose some of its original softness).

The robes come in three sizes, and the most women will choose either size 1 or size 2. Size 3 seems to be best suited for men and women over 6′ tall or someone very big-boned. The robes come in quite a variety of colors as well, but the most popular ones are cream, pink and white for women and espresso and camel for both men and women. One interesting development to look out for over the next few months will be Barefoot Dreams transition to their new “BambooChic” fabric, which adds eco-friendly bamboo fiber to the CozyChic microfiber original. We applaud Barefoot Dreams for taking a step toward “green business”!

As anyone who enjoys cooking knows, there is just never enough space in your cabinets to store all of your favorite cookware and kitchen gadgets. If you’re like me, you also tend to use certain pots and skillets all of the time. So wouldn’t it be nice to have a handy place to keep your most frequently used pieces in easy reach? A great solution is purchasing a pot rack like this great-looking hanging pot rack from Kinetic. (more…)

Nashville Stars of the Future To Perform Live at New Country-Music Themed Restaurant

June 7, 2006

The people have spoken. In the wake of American Idol’s smash success, CountryMonkey.com, has taken its act live. Starting June 7th, the new Nashville-based theme restaurant will conduct a year-long talent search for the next big country music artist. Auditions will be held online, with competitors to perform live for the very fans who selected them. In a family-friendly environment with a five-star chef, Country Monkey promises both fine food and the best up-and-coming talent that Nashville has to offer.

Says CountryMonkey CEO Paul Ekster, “For the past year, CountryMonkey has introduced new country music stars to Nashville. Now, with our state-of-the-art sound system and live weekly performances, local fans can finally see their favorite bands perform live, before choosing one to win a recording contract with a major Nashville producer.” The restaurant, a 15,000 square foot location situated directly across the street from Titans Stadium, is not merely a launching ground for new talent, but a Sunday football headquarters as well. While there is hearty fare like BBQ ribs and burgers, the restaurant also serves healthy, low-fat chicken and salad dishes. But make no mistake, CountryMonkey is all about the music.

Future locations include Myrtle Beach, Las Vegas, New York and Los Angeles. The Nashville site opens during Fan Fair on June 7, 2006.
CountryMonkey was founded in 2005 to give unknown artists the opportunity to gain exposure and credibility in the competitive country music scene.
