I am not fond of it myself, but thankfully most of the places I go are not too crowded. Even when there are others shopping, it's usually not so crowded that it makes me uncomfortable. <br /><br />I hope you get to visit your nostalgia shop again soon; it sounds like a neat place :)Kim @ This Belle Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164994244055552994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243252197224828472.post-64557611279368689912015-04-20T08:22:03.819-05:002015-04-20T08:22:03.819-05:00WOW, that really is a steal, Kim!

Yeah, I have serious personal space issues, I know. I did visit a nostalgia shop last fall and I would like to do a return visit because they had some interesting stuff worth a second look. Anyhow, congrats on the great find!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243252197224828472.post-37472253445119120962015-04-19T22:11:15.320-05:002015-04-19T22:11:15.320-05:00Wasn't it, though?

I don't know if everyone is having this issue, or it's another "me" problem... but when I click on it, it says that it can't process my request and to come back later. So I will. Come back later that is. But, yes, that is it:)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243252197224828472.post-73177430426907167512015-04-16T22:34:11.992-05:002015-04-16T22:34:11.992-05:00you got some Zeppelin here so I am gonna hang for ...you got some Zeppelin here so I am gonna hang for awhile :)<br /><br />I LOVE it!! it's so cool. it works! the bargain price! OMG - how could you not buy it.

I will go try that ASAP. <br /><br />To answer your question, it is an electric heater, so it doesn't make any smoke :) The logs are ceramic or something- just there for looks. I am hoping they light up, but I'm not sure about that.Kim @ This Belle Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164994244055552994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243252197224828472.post-39177231009475146952015-04-16T17:19:04.369-05:002015-04-16T17:19:04.369-05:00I am a believer in thrift stores.
Dumb question: ...I am a believer in thrift stores.<br /><br />Dumb question: since that beauty hangs on the wall INSIDE the house... does that mean any smoke that comes out is now in your living room (or wherever you hang it)? If so, that doesn't seem ideal to me. I figure I must not be "in the know" on this and that is why I called it a "dumb question."<br /><br />Now... on to how to install the Google Friend Connect Widget, which is really easy.<br /><br />Go to Layout. Click on Add A Widget. In the far left sidebar (ignore all the displayed widgets) choose Advanced Layout (or something like that). Then in the search at the top, type in Google Friend Connect. That should bring up three possible widgets. The first one is the one you want. Install it like any other widget. I hope that helps:)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243252197224828472.post-43617108159060195912015-04-16T10:54:28.702-05:002015-04-16T10:54:28.702-05:00I love, love, LOVE thrifty furniture and decor fin...I love, love, LOVE thrifty furniture and decor finds - and would love DIY facelifts and such just as much, if I only ever made the time to finish some of the stuff I've started. But hey...it used to be that I got stuff home, then never got it started. So the getting started is a start, no?<br /><br />I'd love to see your china cabinet!

I got the china cabinet home, set it up. Went to my bedroom to change clothes and looked at my credenza... holy smokes! They were both the same color wood and finishing. Both Danish design and manufactured. The china cost $2100, on sale, but worth it. The credenza of 15 years earlier was $25. So now they're both in the dining room. Got a chest, etc., for the bedroom.<br /><br />Love, love your heater! In a VW, bet that was hysterical!Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.com
