Finally, a clothing line for the large busted woman

by

Judging from the responses that I get on this blog I must assume that a large number of my readers are women. Certainly the more vocal readers are women at the very least. So that’s why I decided to tell you about Eris Apparel and their new line of clothing.

Their new garment sizes are made specifically for the large busted woman. Fortunately or unfortunately this is not a problem that I have – mine is more the long leg, high-waisted, poor fitting garment problem.

I do however understand that large busted women may have a very difficult time finding blouses and jackets that fit properly. The shirts may fit in the arm, and shoulders and the overall size might be correct but the top is often too tight in the bust. Well, now you don’t have to worry about that. Not if you purchase some of the beautiful lines of clothing being introduced by Eris Apparel you won’t. They’ve designed clothing that will fit an average sized woman who just happens to also be large busted. Women with cup sizes of D to G will find this new line of clothing particularly helpful.

Visit the Eris Apparel website to see their whole line of clothing ranging from Blouses, bras, dresses and outwear plus many more items. I think you’ll be pleased with the quality and style of their selection.






Is your credit card saving you money or costing you money?

I think that it’s probably safe to say that most of the people that read this site likely own or rent their homes. Am I correct? I know that there are probably some apartment or condo dwellers amongst my readers but most of you likely have homes or cottages where you garden.

One reason why I was wondering this is because I was recently told that in recent times more people are likely to put their money towards home loans rather than spending on credit cards. While that may be true, I think that since the majority of people who read this site are gardeners with their own homes and land to garden on that you probably do use your credit cards for purchases.

Certainly at this time of year many of us are putting in orders for spring with the mail order garden companies. Purchasing plants, seeds, gardening supplies and gardening tools. Which is why I wanted to tell my readers about a site that I just visited creditcards-gb.co.uk where you can learn more about credit cards in general, as well as compare credit cards in order to obtain the best one for your purchasing and budgeting needs.

I figured that since many of us are probably making gardening purchases with our credit cards that it might be time for some of us to evaluate the current card that we are using and perhaps get another card that has better rates, and perhaps even 0% balance transfers. I know that I’m always looking to save money on my credit cards. I’d rather have one with low interest rates or 0% balance transfers than one that charges me 18% interest! I’m sure you would too.

If you are interested in finding out if obtaining a new credit card might end up saving you money why don’t you visit the Uk Credit Card Guide and read the credit card news, and compare the many different types of credit cards that can be found on their site and see for yourself if one of the cards offered on the site might suit your needs better than your current card.

Blinded by the light

by

I’ve often thought of having some blinds installed in our house. I think I would probably have them in our south facing rooms since the sun is so very bright from early morning until at least noon. It’s absolutely blinding at times. There’s nothing like trying to cook something in the kitchen and not being able to see what you’re doing because it’s so bright.

I guess I shouldn’t complain. We only have a couple of east facing windows, no west facing windows, and the rest face North which makes at least half our house fairly dark.

If I had blinds installed in the kitchen at least I’d be able to partially shut them when the sun was too bright, and open them up fully again when the sun wasn’t shining directly in through that window.

I’ve actually been thinking of renovating the kitchen. That can’t happen until we finish the living room/ dining room (this weekend I hope) of course. I might even hold off until we’ve finished renovating the basement as well. I think getting more space in this house that we can use is more important than having the kitchen of my dreams. However, the kitchen is on the list of reno’s that we plan to do.

I’d like to give the kitchen a Mediterranean feel. It’s fairly plain right now, so it wouldn’t matter if I picked blinds that would suit the future kitchen because I’m sure they would fit in just fine with the current design and colors of our present kitchen.

I’ve always liked bamboo and wooden blinds as opposed to metallic, fabric or plastic blinds. I guess I’d better start looking for blinds soon since the sun is getting stronger and my kitchen is getting brighter!
