Free $15 gift card for your school of choice?!

You get to choose the school which receives it. A simple low dollar purchase of even a coffee will qualify. Bring the kids. Bring friends. Everyone buy their own so the schools get more gift cards. DECEMBER 4 & 5 2010 only! IN store only! I'll be sharing in my next post a GREAT gift tutorial that would go FAB with a book or gift certificate for a book store. This post goes hand in hand with the next.
Our school systems do not receive much help help from the state. I have schools fees to pay despite it being a public school. And yes, the gubberment approved it. No pay? Then no diploma and no report cards sent home until it is paid. They cant kick you out but they can make it where there are no report cards, diploma or field trips or any other way that is not depriving you of education but the "extras" will be with held. Not to mention, the Treasurer can take you to small claims court. All fees are for those little things the government does not cover but are required in their education. This is ALL found in the (Ohio) State board of education handbook. Really, ...I have no reason to make this stuff up. I have been fired up about it for 7 years...

Anyway, here is the article. Even if you are anti social, anti public school, have no kids in public school(not combining the 2 but gotta cover the bases) or refuse to buy Borders for what ever reason that may be, pLeAsE consider getting out there and support the education of those whom are our future. Read on my friends and remember to come back in the next few days for that Book friendly tutorial I will sharing.They are so freaking cute! Can't wait to share..

NEW YORK – The much discussed documentary "Waiting for Superman," which offers a harsh portrait of the country's public schools, has inspired a promotional collaboration among the Borders Group superstore chain, an education fundraiser and the publisher of the movie's companion book.

On Dec. 4 and Dec. 5, any Borders customer making an in-store purchase, whether of a book or a bagel or a latte, will receive a $15 gift card to donate to a public school of choice through DonorsChoose.org, an Internet-based charity. Anyone purchasing the book "Waiting for 'Superman': How We Can Save America's Failing Public Schools" will receive a second $15 card.

The companion text was published by PublicAffairs, part of the Perseus Books Group, which along with Borders and DonorsChoose.org announced the campaign Sunday.

MARK THOSE CALENDERS and be sure to let the kids make their own purchase. The more the merrier for any school you choose!

Comfy Chair Cushioned with Built-In Storage

Ever found yourself looking for that key, coin, remote control or magazine that slipped somewhere between sofa cushions? This design by Daisuke Motogi Architecture is celebrating that very common phenomenon by providing lots of built-in storage. Funny design! Although I hate the idea of having to vacuum clean crums and bits out of every single space! (but hey, never let domestic worries get in the way of good design).

Simple Displays Can Be Showcased Anywhere!

What a difference and a lift the colourful books on display make to this kitchen.

Image from The Library

I use my books in a similar fashion. Wherever I deem a little dash of colour is required, it's easy to pick out a few books in the colours I want, and pop them in a stack, or standing up, to give that injection of colour I'm after.

I've been known to buy a book based almost entirely on how its front cover looks because it's perfect for a colour scheme I have in mind.

Little mini masterpieces books.... you can move them from room to room, you can stack and re-arrange them, they come in heaps of different colours and designs, and you don't have to hang them on a wall to display them.

I think only one other thing comes close to their versatility, and with minimum maintenance attached. Can you guess what I'm thinking of?

Flowers are pretty great for an instant lift too.

Linda. xox

P.S: The display of rolling pins is absolutely lovely as well. Don't you think? Simple, eye-catching, and a real conversation piece.

P.P.S: Keep your eyes peeled for November's Lovely Links post. I'll put it up within the next few days so you can link up lots of your favourite posts from November.

Custom rings by Jeremy May
To make these bookish baubles, British designer Jeremy May laminates together hundreds of pages of recycled books and colored recycled paper, and then carefully finishes them to a high gloss. The design of each ring is a direct response to the book the paper came from; the jewelry is then re-inserted into the excavated space in the book afterwards, allowing the book to work as a jewelry box. May also takes custom orders and can turn any favorite book into a literary jewel. He does not have a retail presence yet in the U.S., but does ship here and around the world. To order visit littlefly.co.uk.. Pieces start at $165.00, plus shipping.

These are just a few of their ideas.
