It had been a few months since my last trip to Chamber when I popped in last week before an opening and found the store has all new merchandise! New Stuff – Yay!

Modern and innovative home design gets my attention every time. I love this egg rug where the yolks serve as head cushions – perfect for lounging on the floor and watching TV in true comfort. Eggstatic!
I’m Really Very Sorry
If I’d known that by firmly suggesting to the Commodities Intern that it would be best if she threw used staples into the trash can, where they belong, instead of on the carpet, it would scar her for life, I maybe wouldn’t have said anything. But just maybe. Because, come on, who does that?
