We received this pair of brass deer as a house-warming gift.  There is no maker's mark save the "Made in China" label.  This set is solid brass and very heavy.I looked online to try pulling together some maker information for this review.  What I found was China makes a lot of brass deer art.  Deer are called luk in China.  Deer symbolize kindness, grace, ...

The basic orginators of the video game cover songs with guitars, the minibosses decided that their older recordings were just not up to snuff.  Armed with a second guitarist, they went in the studios and recorded Brass.  Basically taking every VG song from their older list, and dividing them up where they can make another cd, they forged VG greatness. All the songs are arranged very w...

  This brass stencil made by plaid for disney is very well made and nice. This is Winnie the Pooh and it resembles him well, which is usually the issue when purchasing items like this. I am not a big scrapbooker or cardmaker but enjoy doing a little here and there and trying out different things. Brass stencils are kind of different from other items in that you need special items to g...

Got it but hose leaked and plumber had to run to Home Depot to buy another hose.  Fixed that but hot water wouldn't shut off.  Overstock (OS) sent replacement parts but had to wait 48+ hrs and then they shipped to wrong address.  Meanwhile, tile tub refinisher was coming next day so in order to stay on track, we had to shut main water valve to house off....what a disaster.&nb...

I'm a very picky person when it comes to shopping. If it's not exactly what I want, I rarely buy it. Why waste money on something I won't be happy with 6 months from now?I bought this lamp a few years ago. I love its simplicity, size and design. It's a quality lamp and looks nice wherever I use it. An easy to clean shade is a bonus for me. Unfortunately, I only have on...

Lamps have a large impact on the look of a room, not only in the amount of light they put out, but their style also plays a role. When looking for lamps for my family room, I had an idea of what I was looking for. Next, I had to find it. I love the traditional styles that never seem dated. After looking in a few stores and not finding what I wanted, I went to JCPenney at my local...

Since I have played paintball since around the late 80s, I have been into collecting different markers. Awhile back I remember hearing about Brass Eagles Rainmaker semi auto marker. I had never seen one in action, and Brass Eagle didn't have the best name in paintball at the time.I owned a old BE Nightmare Comp marker a few years after playing, and I loved the thing to death. It was a steal...

Yesterday was my birthday !  Woo hoo....that means I ususally get more Tinkerbell collectibles!  I received this adorable little Magical Holidays Tinkerbell keepsake this year.  It is a heavy one too!  The platform is a bright pink base with jewels along the side.  They are painted on in colors of green, blue, yellow, purple and white.  As you can see in the pictur...

You are transported into a world of cascading water, a calm oasis.  The relaxing, massaging spray soothes away the stresses of the day.  This easy to install, tangle free, anti-clogging shower sprayer is, almost, as good as a more expensive massage.  All right, not quite,  but it will leave you feeling rejuvenated and glowing.  The four spray settings whi...

This plaid stencil made for disney are 6 smaller characters and used for scrapbooking and cardmaking. I find these small and hard to work with for the use they are made mainly which is to use a lightbox and special tool. It is hard to get all the details out and for it to look like the character it is supposed to. This set includes mickey, minnie, donald, daisy, pluto and goofy. So there is a g...

I was using an older heavy duty leather dog collar for my dog and it had to be replaced. I was dreading this day as the collars generally sold today are not made well enough for a large dog, in my opinion. While a tiny to small puppy or dog, may do well enough with a fabric and Velcro or fabric and plastic collar, I feel that it is irresponsible to expect those types of collars to hold up in un...

We have had this clock for as long as we've been married.  It was a gift from my parents which they carried back with them on a trip to the Netherlands shortly after we were married.  The Zaanse clocks originated in Zaandam, a town near Amsterdam. You probably cannot find many Dutch homes that do not have one of these clocksThis clock is different in that it is an 8 day movem...

A few years ago I was searching for a gift for my Mom and came across a unique miniature grandfather clock (16" tall) in the Bombay Company.  Since, she was looking for a new clock to be placed on the living room bookcase mantle this seemed like the ideal choice.  An admirer of traditional grandfather clocks, she loved it.  This replica of a mahogany tall...

When we were shopping for window coverings for our home we came across these Antique Brass Leaf curtain rods by Home Trends.  We wanted something simple yet beautiful to hold up the sheer panels we had chosen.For what we paid, under $30 dollars for four windows, these have really proven to be durable, sturdy, and exceptionally neutral. I have yet to see any wear, they are fingerprint resis...

This belonged to my great-grandmother, Rose. She passed quite a long time ago; may she rest in peace. I will always have this charm to remind me of her, and will know she, herself, wore this on a chain around her neck everyday.This piece is so special because it belonged to a very special person. Yet if it did not belong to her, and I found it in an antiques shop, I still wo...
