A heads up on today's Dealfind deal

[molyflogs.livejournal.com]

Today, Dealfind is selling Lock & Lock containers. These containers are amazing. However, the company is pretty awful, as far as service and actually shipping them to you goes. Check out the reseller ratings: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Lock_N_Lock


I tried to post a comment to this effect on the deal itself, but it was promptly deleted, and I received an email from dealfind stating that they don't allow negative reviews and the like in their comments section, because their contracts with vendors state that they won't. So... I guess a heads up about Dealfind in general there. 

Stuff for free!

Not exactly Davis, but pretty close.  I'm moving very soon and I have a bunch of stuff I'm looking to unload for free.  I'm on Laurel Street in Somerville, in between Porter and Union, but if you're interested send me a message and I'll give you the exact address.  If I don't get any response, I may end up putting things outside this weekend free for the taking, FYI.

UPDATED: Some items are gone, some that were claimed are now available again.

TV (nothing wrong with it, just don't need it in the new place)
black chair and ottoman
entertainment shelf (good for dvds, cds, and/or knick-knacks)
dinner table with 4 chairs
short, 2-shelf bookcase
lots of small stuff, like more hangers than anybody needs!

Dimensions or more descriptive information available-- just ask!

looking for non-chain local, independent jewelry store

That wedding ring I posted about a few weeks ago? Still missing.

It's physically nothing unique to replace and I expect that there's a catalog of mass-produced rings from which we can very easily identify what my ring was and get a matching one in the same size. When we bought it, we got both rings from Kitty Haas (who in addition to her cool artsy silver stuff used to special-order simple wedding bands in gold and/or platinum) and the rings thus came with a good feeling and a good conversation with Kitty and quite the opposite of the mall stores I really dislike the vibe of.

I know of local jewelery artists like Jade Moran and Daniel Spirer, but what about a basic jewelry store for NON-artsy jewelry? It seems silly to get a handcrafted ring that is copying the simplest-of-simple band that I had and my husband still has.

Knitting Meetup Rescheduled

[toricosta.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,

I mistakenly scheduled the next Knit & Sip Crochet Soiree on Super Bowl Sunday (yes, I am a native New Englander, and yes...that was exceptionally silly of me) and am RESCHEDULING.  The next one will take place Feb 12th at the Nave Gallery from 2-6.

About Knit & Sip Crochet Soirees
Each November, the Nave Gallery in Somerville, MA hosts Wrap Around, a sale of affordable handmade goods to support the Somerville Homeless Coalition. All proceeds help fund the amazing work that SHC does, and anything not sold is donated to them.

This group meets monthly to knit, crochet, and create items for next November's sale. This is a really fun way to get your craft on and help keep someone warm during our very cold winter.

Hope to see you.  There will be coffee, tea, and some light snacks. Feel free to bring something to munch on if you'd like.

To keep up to date on events, join the meetup group at: http://www.meetup.com/Knit-Sip-Crochet-Soirees/, or visit the Nave Facebook  page: http://www.facebook.com/events/324554534251068/.

Thanks,
Tori
