Long Lost Love…

Posted in Enter and Win, Shoes at 9:05 pm by Deb Savvy

We all have a story of our great long lost love. No, I’m not talking about men. I’m talking about shoes. We’ve all got one of those stories – the demise of an all time favorite pair of shoes. I actually have two stories. One involves a totally favorite pair of 9 West slides that I left the back of a rental car. I went running back not 10 minutes later. And, of course, no one knew a thing about a pair of shoes found in a returned car. Yeah, right. I know that counter girl was probably wearing them while she told me there was nothing in the lost and found. My second disaster also involves a favorite pair of slides. So cute. On a thick curved wedge with a toe loop and a narrow strap mid foot. They are totally adorable and, by the way, on sale for like 90% off. Anyway, I had them and wore them for years and they looked fabulous. Until I got caught in a total monsoon near the beach in Puerto Vallarta. By the time we made it back to the hotel, the leather was peeling off the wedge and the straps were all pulling away from the sole. I mourn the loss of those shoes to this day. Cordani actually makes a very similar slide but I’m having trouble tracking down my size in black. Woe is me!

All Boxed Up

Posted in Gifts, Hard to Find Items, Jewelry Storage at 12:41 am by Deb Savvy

Shopping for a jewelry box can be a pain, whether it’s for yourself or as a gift for someone else. Most department and jewelry stores will have a nice but far too limited selection. The same is true of gallery type stores – what they have is probably beautiful but most likely not exactly what you’re looking for.

Shop at JewelryBoxes.com

Forget about settling on something that’s just ‘okay’. Avoid the need to run from store to store. Find exactly the jewelry box you’re looking for at what can only be described as the world’s biggest jewelry box superstore – JewelryBoxes.com.

If You’re Ready to Let Go…

Posted in Great Ideas, Housekeeping, Music at 12:46 am by Deb Savvy

I admit it. I’m done with my CD’s. It’s just too much work. I have my music on my iPod and iPhone. I have a docking station and I can also hook either device directly to the stereo at home or in my car. I haven’t listened to a CD in months. In fact, the only time I touch any of my CD’s is when I want to import them into iTunes or lend them to a friend who wants to the same. I’m over it. I don’t need them anymore. I’m done.

SecondSpin.com

And now that I’m ready to let go…. Wanna know what I’m going to do next? I’m going to clean house and clean up. I’m going to sell all my old and unwanted CD’s. I plan on translating the cash I get into downloads of songs and albums I’ve always wanted. Less clutter and more music. What could be better?

Create Your Own Photographic Masterpiece

Posted in Art, Discounts, Personalized Gifts, Photography, Unique Items at 5:13 pm by Deb Savvy

I love this idea. You can convert any favorite photograph into a true work of art at Canvas On Demand. They take your prized photograph and transform it into an amazing canvas work of art. You have two rendering options to choose from; PhotoRealistic, bringing your photo to full life even more vivid than the original, or BrushStroke, which appears to have been produced by delicate strokes of an artist’s brush. They also offer two primary finishing options. The canvas can simply be stretched and framed to your specification, or it can be Gallery Wrapped (my favorite), stretching the canvas over a wooden frame so that the edges of the material are drawn around it.

And even cooler, Canvas On Demand has just introduced their new Photosplits™ – they “split” your photo into a 3 or 4 panel piece of Canvas artwork. These gallery wrapped canvas panels come together to make a photo-to-art screen. Sizes range from 36″x24″ to 90″x60″. The 3 or 4 panels are standard, but they can do any number of panels any size in any configuration!

Canvas On Demand recently relaunched their site with a fresh, updated look and feel, in improved customer interface and faster image uploads. And they’re celebrating with a grand re-opening sale that’s oh-so grand.

An Easy Way to Live Greener

Posted in Breaking News, Ecofriendly Shopping, Giving Back, Great Ideas at 12:44 am by Deb Savvy

Wouldn’t it be great if you could eliminate all the unwanted junk mail that you receive every day? You can block spam e-mails easily, but it can be really hard to get all those catalogs and free credit card offers to stop filling your mail box. Yesterday I actually received THREE offers for the same credit card. No wonder the airlines are going broke – they spend like $1 every single day just trying to get me to sign up for a credit card I already have! OY!

Easiest Way to Go Green

Well here’s a way to stop the insanity. GreenDimes.com stops your entire household’s junk mail and plants 10 trees on your behalf for $20. They also offer you the choice to remove only the catalogs you don’t want. You can help improve the environment by stopping the mail you don’t want to receive in the first place. The impact of this is huge. In just over a year of operation, they’ve stopped 3 million pounds of junk mail and saved/planted 1,000,000 trees. They have over 75,000 happy members and have gotten a ton of press – NY Times, Ellen, Good Morning America to name a few. 1st 5 million who sign up for Free also get a free issue of Plenty mag from greendimes.com
