Pylones - Fun Kitchen Tools and More

A new favorite on-line shop!! Pylones (pronounced pee-lone) has some of the cutest stuff you'll ever see. Pylones was founded in France in 1985 and currently the only US stores are in New York. Below are just three samples of things I fell in love with!

Beware: their website is very user friendly and has so many pages filled with unique stuff! It could take a good part of your morning to look around!


Set of twelve paper clips... perfect for making favorite recipes in cookbooks or magazines! $4.00 for twelve. I think these would also be very cute as a decorative piece to an invitation to a bridal shower!

This salad serving set is absolutely a conversation starter! I love them!! $39 for the set.

Kitchen timer??? Or time-out timer? You decide! Too cute! $36

The Something Store - Followup

My package from the Something Store arrived this weekend. I was pleasantly surprised.

Remember... I paid $10 (that was the total, it includes shipping) and waited for my surprise something to arrive.

I received a Sudoku Nano... which is going to make a perfect Christmas stocking stuffer for someone in my family. I have a husband and two daughters that are Sudoku obsessed!!

I did a quick internet search and found the very same game at several sites ranging in price from $10.95 to $14.95, plus shipping. So, I got a good deal and got something that I can use! Not bad! I might just try it again!

The Something Store

The Something Store is a fun new website where they only sell one thing. And that one thing is something. You pay $10, that includes shipping, and The Something Store will send you something... and that could be anything. Their website says it most likely will be new, but that it might also be refurbished, or even antique. It could be a clock, a gift card, video games, a cool gadget, a rare book, a kitchen appliance, a magazine subscription, etc.

I'm so relieved to know that there are some things that you absolutely won't get from The Something Store... according to their website you will NOT receive alcohol, body parts, drug test circumvention tools, to name a few.

While The Something Store does not indicate what the value of your something is going to be, they claim to strive to send something that is valuable so that you'll surprise yourself, again and again. They want their customers to be happy... but be aware... there are no returns, refunds or exchanges.

I'm going to order mine tonight! Just for fun... I'll post when I receive my something!
