Christmas shopping, anyone?
I can get this on topic but I'm going to wander off since it's astounding
and delightful the hefty range of knowledge here. If you want to save postage and give yourself some nice fabric, Arizona Quilts is holding the Polly Esther 2011 record for stuffing the most in a 'if it fits, it ships' box. They are really, Really good. I would like to go watch them and appreciate their concern for my needy babies budget. Help me here. Moma used to give all her children a pound box of Brach's Chocolate Covered cherries. All I can find now is a 'pitiful' box of nine in a 6 oz box. That would make anyone wanting to wallow in them until next Christmas just sit down and cry. You're supposed to eat 'just one more' until you don't crave another bite. AND ! they've decided to 'improve' the chocolate. I don't want improved. Any help? Next. I 'think' I and my daughters would love to have horn wide tooth combs for combing out long wet hair. I suspect the cheap plastic ones we have are guilty of cutting and damage. Anyone here ever been brave enough to spend $40 for a horn ( or something else like maybe wood) comb? Can you stand one more question? It seems like my embroidery machine might do better with a #90 needle. I did labels for 2 Wounded Warrior quilts last night and the #75 seemed to need help. It was a Get it Done project but wasn't special. Polly |

Christmas shopping, anyone?
Can't help you much unless you want to come over here. Then I could
probably solve all your problems (except for the needle). There's a wonderful tiny shop in the center of Munich that sells nothing but combs, brushes, shaving brushes, widgets for cleaning hairs out of brushes... you get the idea. Dog brushes? Nope. Clothes brushes? Nope. They are specialists. and they do sell some lovely combs. With a side line in hair oil and shaving soap.

I can't offer any advice (although I may be visiting Arizona Quilts
online later today!), but the memories of Brach's Chocolate Covered Cherries are near and dear. Grandma used to give a box to each grandchild at Christmas. But that wasn't all! She found a way to magically put a ten dollar bill in each box - between the cellophane wrapper and the box. I never did find the opening in the cellophane that would give me a clue as to how she had done it.

It's a good thing our DDIL doesn't have a criminal inclination. I declare
that rascal can open 'anything' and restore it to pristine condition. Snooping under the Christmas tree is one of her favorite indoor sports.

Christmas shopping, anyone?
In my very younger days. Up to 2002 my red hair was below my waist,
for most of my life. I would have to look everywhere for a good strong handled brush for my thick locks. I always found those with wooden handles worked the best. I went through the plastic ones like going through a box of chocolates. I had to cut off my long locks. A recommendation from my physican. I had to go through a battery of tests including MRI, CAT and PET scans. The doctor was afraid my hair would get caught up in the machinery and I would get scalped. Hair brushes that are durable are extremely hard to find. Walmart would not carry such an item. As for the chocolate covered cherries. My son loves those things. I have to buy him several boxes every year for Christmas. its become a tradition thing. One product I found that helps with the tangled mess after washing the hair, is Infusium 123. A comb just slids through the hair. It does not have to be washed out and makes red hair shine like a new copper penny. And no I am not affiliated with the manufacturer of the product. just a satisified customer. Kate T. in cold South Mississippi |

Betsey, take Kate T's advice. She has a beautiful, magnificent head of red
hair. It's even worse than that. While mine gets darker and mouse-ier every minute, Kate's stays lovely. Bummer. Polly "Kate T." wrote in message ... In my very younger days.

Polly, when I couldn't find 'specially good quality caramels for our
Pat on her Green I learned how to make them. Have you tried making chocolate covered cherries? I bet they would be as fantastic as my caramels! Leslie & The Furbabies ibn MO.
