Cool beans.
Posted by etipton – July 25, 2008 7:21 AM
Frontgate has such lovely products. They had this Outdoor Bean Bag designed so that you can relax in style. These Bean Bags are oversized for body-hugging support, and they are water-proof with all-weather construction. Their chlorine- and fade-resistant, UV-protective coating shields material from the sun's harsh rays. I think this would be a fun chair to have on the deck for your children, but be forewarned, the Bean Bags do not float. This Outdoor Bean Bag cushion is priced around $250.

This pool caddy also keeps floats from being stored flat on the ground, where they pick up damaging pebbles and dirt that ultimately end up in the pool. The Aluminum Float and Cushion Caddy is priced less than $70.

Slide into fun.
Posted by etipton – July 8, 2008 9:27 PM
When I was a child, most pools had slides. I remember one family vacation the beach in the 1980s. My parents had a place for the week, but we went down a day early. They drove down the strip trying to find a hotel. Apparently there was no room at the inn, or at any inn that weekend. My sister and I would strain our necks in the back seat checking out the pool at each hotel and judging it by the slide and diving board.
Today, so many pools have lost their slides and diving boards. The are "dangerous", and a "liability". You can let your kids enjoy a slide at your pool without making it a permanent fixture with this Inflatable Fun Slide from Frontgate. This Inflatable Fun Slide sets up in just five minutes and is guaranteed to provide hours of thrilling, outdoor recreation. Anchors keep the water slide from moving while in use, and the easy-access, built-in step is perfect for climbing to the top of the slide. This deluxe pool toy makes it easy to create your own water-rushing waterpark, without the hassle of lines. The Inflatable Fun Slide is priced around $125.

Pillow Fight

I know I love them, but who wouldn't love these all-weather, luxurious, outdoor pillows? They have designer fabrics, tassels and trims, but they will not fade, and can be left outside year-round. Select from the corded scroll throw pillow, the center frame throw pillow or the scroll bolster pillow. The Carlisle Collection Outdoor Pillows are priced around $120.
Light up my night.
Posted by etipton – June 30, 2008 12:49 PM
I love this outdoor lamp from Frontgate. It is called the Montego Outdoor Lamp, and it has a combination of natural marble and solid brass construction. It includes an all-weather Sunbrella shade and is UL- listed for outdoor use. I think it would make a beautiful addition to your porch or patio. The Montego Outdoor Lamp is listed at $400 in their catalog, but is on sale for $299.
Let freedom ring.

I don't know why I enjoy decorating for July 4th so very much. It might be because there are so many cute things to put outside. I'm pretty sure I posted these Patriotic Paper Lanterns last year, but I really just love them. They come in a set of three that includes two small patriotic stripe lanterns and one large fireworks lantern, with metal inserts for hanging. They would be so cute hanging on a porch or patio. The Patriotic Paper Lanterns are regularly around $20, but right now they are priced less than $10 for the set.
I probably watched the movie Pollyanna one time too many as a child, but I loved all their old-time patriotic decorations with their July 4th Celebration. Bunting is one of those things that just makes a house look so festive. We only use it for Patriotic holidays and summertime, but it is so charming. Thank goodness this Patriotic Bunting is made in the USA, and is priced starting at $25.
Made in the shade.
Posted by etipton – June 22, 2008 8:51 AM
The perfect house doesn't always have the perfect shade in your outdoor areas. Make your own shade with Sun Shades. The specially formulated, UV-resistant materials block out almost 90% of damaging UV rays. They can also help reduce the temperature under the shade by at least 10 degrees. Great for covering children's play areas, hammocks or your favorite outdoor chair. Prices for the outdoor sun shades begin around $85.
The Blustery Day
Posted by etipton – June 22, 2008 8:14 AM
We were on vacation last week, and it was extremely windy down by the pool and at the beach. My sister had these really neat towel clips that keep your towel attached to your chair. She swears we were with her when she bought them a few years ago at a drugstore, but none of us remember that trip. Being the internet savvy person I am, I got online and tracked them down. They are Boca Towel Clips. They come in a set of two, one for each side of your towel, and they are wonderful. Every time my sister got up and fetched the ball the girls had thrown out of the pool, or retrieved the shark out of the pool filter, her towel was still in place. We just got back yesterday, and I've already got an order for some on the way! The Boca Towel Clips are priced around $5 for a set of two.
Outdoor Cleaning.
Posted by etipton – June 21, 2008 2:22 PM
We are not lucky enough to have a utility sink in our home. When my parents built their house, they put the sink in the garage. When you are cleaning outdoor items, have muddy shoes, or are dirty from planting flowers, you do not have to mess up the kitchen sink cleaning up. Many utility sinks are in laundry rooms. It seems like a great idea at the time, but laundry rooms are not always convenient to your mess. Someone decided the best place for a sink is outside. This ReelSmart™ Sink Station with Automatic Hose Reel is perfect for all of your outdoor cleaning chores. The roomy 24” wide sink has swivel faucet, water control switch, sink stopper and filter. Two fold-out shelves cover the sink to provide a large, flat work surface. The station also offers a sturdy shelf for storage of supplies as well as a water powered self-winding hose reel which stores up to 150’ of 5/8” hose. Simply unhook the hose, and you don't have to worry about winter freezes. This outdoor utility sink is priced around $150.
The Bzz on Pizza.
Posted by etipton – May 12, 2008 4:00 PM
If your tax rebate check is burning a hole in your wallet, I was poking around over at Williams-Sonoma, and came across this fancy, new pizza oven. It is the Beehive Pizza Oven. It brings the pleasures of cooking in a terra-cotta, wood-fire oven to your backyard or deck. While I won't have one in my backyard any time soon, it does look like a lot of fun. The Beehive Pizza Oven is priced around than $2,000.
Mother's Day
Posted by etipton – April 30, 2008 11:01 AM
Mother's Day is right around the corner. You need to be thinking of a gift for mom. I am going to spend the next few weeks giving you some ideas. My first suggestion is rain chains. Rain chains are a unique gift mom may not already have. Originating centuries ago in Japan, rain chains are a beautiful and decorative alternative to a traditional down spout on your home. As the water collects at the top of the rain chain, it gracefully cascades down the segments, resulting in a soothing sight and sound experience. A basin or barrel may also be added to collect rainwater for garden use. This lovely copper chain features a series of five sculpted lilies, designed to funnel the water from your gutters in a unique and interesting manner. A mounting attachment slips securely into your gutter outlet to make replacing your downspout a quick and simple affair. Segments may be easily removed to adjust to custom lengths, accommodating any size home. Over time, the copper construction will also patina to a beautiful green tone, for more interest. Add a dynamic accent to the side of your home with this Copper Lily Rain Chain. Prices start at $90.
Yellow Snow?
Posted by etipton – April 25, 2008 4:16 PM
Today when I looked out my front window, I thought it was snowing until I realized it was almost 80 degrees and yellow. Yes, it is that time of year again. The time when my driveway, car, toys, patio and everything else is covered in oak tree pollen. It is awful. We had plans outside today, but with my allergy-prone child we decided to stay inside. It would be so nice if I knew this in advance. It really wasn't this bad yesterday. I should have gotten this 7-day weather forecaster with pollen index. It displays current weather data and real-time forecasts anytime. It also includes pollen alerts, wind speed and direction, UV index, and storm warnings. What makes this weather forecaster even better is that the information is updated throughout the day via satellite digital radio signals. That means this innovative gadget does not require outdoor sensors, an Internet connection, or any subscription. I am always glad to get something that is ready-to-go out of the box. Priced less than $200.
More than a fire pit, it's a piece of history.
Posted by etipton – April 1, 2008 7:59 AM
The Green Home fire pit is from Carolina Kettles. While it looks similar to other fire pits, their website shares a little more history. "In the 19th century, a syrup kettle or sugar kettle was more or less a tool that had several applications around the farm. It was used as a syrup cooking pot, used to scald hogs at slaughter time, used to render lard, and also as a water bath at canning time." I hope you don't need to scald hogs or render lard, but you can still enjoy one as a fire pit. Carolina Kettles produces exact replicas of the original syrup kettles. If you have the money, that seems a little neater to me than picking one up at a chain store. Priced around $1,000.
Do you Diggit?
Posted by etipton – March 27, 2008 7:21 AM
I am a sucker for cool garden gadgets. The Diggit Duo Multi-Purpose Garden Tools are the perfect set for careful, selective weeding without disturbing bedding plants and bushes. These gadgets will go deeper than a trowel and disturb less ground than a claw. They feature red handles, so they are easy to spot in your garden. They also have soft, flat-ended handles to avoid giving you blisters. The blade is heavy-gage, galvanized steel that avoids bending and rusting. The blade also has inch-marker-notches for bulb planting depth. Priced less than $20.
Snow End In Sight.
Posted by etipton – March 4, 2008 7:38 AM
The winter weather keeps coming. Yesterday it was near seventy degrees. Today we might get snow. Be prepared for anything Old Man Winter can send your way with the SnowScoop. It is basically a big, plastic board with wheels, but you can move a lot of snow without much work. You just push, pivot and dump! The heavy load is carried by the wheel underneath the SnowScoop, not by your back. A 28" wide path is cleared with each pass. They claim that it is three to five times faster than using a shovel. At my house that would be a hundred times faster than me using a shovel. The SnowScoop is made of tough, durable polyethylene and has a large 4" swivel wheel and metal ice-breaking blade. It is enviromentally friendly, since it requires no electricity or gasoline. It also doesn't create any noise, so no more waking up the neighbors at five in the morning to clear you driveway. Replacement blades are sold separately. Priced around $70.
Warming up the great outdoors.
Posted by etipton – February 20, 2008 11:56 AM
This is the time of year when I am sick of cold weather. I want to sit outside today, but it is way too cold. I wish I had one of those outdoor heaters. I like this one in particular. It doubles as a bistro table. Yes, you can keep warm and have a little snack at the same time. The heater distributes warmth in a 360-degree arc and has two settings that can run for up to 46 hours. It is propane-powered, and comes with wheels so you can easily arrange it on your deck Prices start around $320.

Posted by etipton – September 20, 2007 3:44 PM
These high quality elastic bands fit under the upper lip of 20 to 33 gallon trash/leaf cans to keep your bag from slipping. Liners stay in place, and don't sink down in their containers. While I am thinking leaves you can also use them for securing outside air conditioner covers, keeping storage boxes tights or anything else you need bundled together. Priced under $2. 
Leaf pile.
Posted by etipton – September 20, 2007 3:37 PM
The hardest part of raking is getting the pile of leaves into the trash bags. Make quick work of the pile with these Garden Grabbers from Orvis. They are handy, over-sized plastic scoops. Tough polypropylene scoops with handles and wrist straps become an extension of your arm, keeping hands away from muck, bugs, and thorns. Just hose off for cleanup.

Fall fun.
Posted by etipton – September 18, 2007 12:52 PM
Fall seems to be the time I find more huge, creepy spiders inside my house than any other time of year. Remove them the easy way with this spider catcher. The Spider Catcher allows you to practice catch-and-release spiders, while keeping yourself a comfortable distance away from the creatures. Grasp the handle and press the trigger to open a gentle fan of bristles that surround the spider. The bristles close gently, catching the spider safely. You can then relocate the spider to the wild. No batteries needed and the Spider Catcher works on a variety of insects including wasps, moths, daddy long-legs and butterflies. Priced less than $20.
Here is another version that keeps you a little closer to the buy, but it still works nicely.
Priced under $10.
Fall coverings.
Posted by etipton – September 18, 2007 12:41 PM
There is nothing more enjoyable then sitting outside on a pretty day. It is so enjoyable that you purchased expensive patio furniture just for such occasions. In the winter, your furniture sets out, forgotten, just waiting for that precious, warm day you come outside. You go outside, and your furniture is too gross to sit on. It is caked with dirt and mildew. While it is warm enough to sit outside, it is not warm enough to drag out the water hose, clean your furniture, and drain the hose just to have it all happen again after the next rain or snow. That is why you need furniture covers. They have covers for every shape of furniture, from chaise loungers to stack chairs. The weatherproof cover is easily washable and protects your chairs from rain, dust, storms, and other kinds of damage. You will thank me in the spring. Priced from $15.
Rolla Roaster of love.
Posted by etipton – September 15, 2007 9:12 AM
This weekend it felt like fall. There was a cool breeze, and it felt wonderful outside. Our group of friends decided to roast marshmallows with the kids. There were 11 kids under the age of five, so that really makes for an adventure. We hadn’t planned ahead. It was a more spur-of-the-minute idea, so we didn’t have very good sticks available. Everything worked out fine, but I wish I had the Rolla Roaster my mom told me about. It is a telescoping stainless steel fork used to cook hot dogs, marshmallows or anything else you usually cook on a stick. The fork telescopes from 12" long for backyard BBQs to 42" inches long for campfire cooking. The beautifully crafted wooden handle never overheats. The fork is perfect for hot dogs, marshmallows, s’mores, toasted buns and more! The Rolla Roaster now comes in 9 different handle colors. With Christmas just around the corner, order an extra set to give as a gift. I'm betting your recipient doesn't already have this. Two Rolla Roasters included per set. Priced at $12.00 per set of two.
Stop, drop and roll.

No one plans to have a house fire, but by having a safety plan in place you are more prepared if disaster strikes. Growing up, our plan was to meet by the mailbox. It would be horrible to run back into a burning house looking for someone who was already safe outside. Another good aspect of a safety plan is a fire ladder. Our house is on one level, so we are not too high to jump out a window if necessary. If you live in a multi-story house, you need an escape ladder. There are many different styles and options, depending on the height you need. Prices start around $35.
Unnecessary Roughness
Posted by etipton – September 5, 2007 8:05 PM
Avoid the unnecessary roughness of dragging out a bunch of chairs (or standing all day) with this instant bench. The bench features a heavy-duty steel frame, and it holds up to 250 lbs. per seat. When folded up, the bench is compact, lightweight and portable. The included carry-bag has adjustable shoulder strap and reinforced bottom. The bench offers a quick, easy set-up with no assembly required. I always love to hear of an item that has an easy set-up. That usually means I can get set up sometime before kick-off. The bench with seating for six is priced around $100, while the three-seater is priced around $65.

Food is the best part of tailgating, and nothing beats the taste of grilled food. We have eaten grilled pork, chicken, burgers, hot dogs and seafood depending on who we are playing. Most have been grilled on a small hibachi grill, or come from a store ready to eat. Do not pass on this grill. It is even shaped like a football, so your friends will get a real kick out of it. The unique design makes this BBQ grill easy to transport while at the same time minimizing spilling any ash. Charcoal not included. Priced less than $70.
Go team!
Posted by etipton – September 4, 2007 11:14 AM
I live in the South, where tailgating is a required part of the football game. Fans really put out a spread before and after the game. A 3:00 kickoff requires leaving your house by 8:00 in the morning to get set up for lunch. While looking for good tailgating equipment, I found this college team stainless BBQ branding iron. This one does not attach to the grill. You just heat it up in the flame and then brand the meat. This brand is especially neat because you can use it in the kitchen on the stove to brand things like tortillas. I have one that screws on to the grilling surface, and you have to put each piece of meat on the brand. I do not use it because it is so inconvenient. Priced around 35. 
Pool Safety
Posted by etipton – August 3, 2007 11:29 AM
If you have a swimming pool and also have children, you need to think about investing in a pool alarm. The Safety Turtle system has a base unit and a wristband for children, adults, or pets. It sends out an alarm when the wristband gets too close to the base unit.
The Pool Eye pool alarm alerts you if anything heavier than 15 pounds falls in the pool. It is a good idea to evaluate your pool situation and find the alarm that works best for your environment. Most systems are priced less than $300.
Ear Dryer
Posted by etipton – August 2, 2007 9:42 AM
If you or your children are prone to swimmer's ear, try the rechargeable DryEar Ear Dryer.

Submitted by you - Pot Sock-It.
Posted by etipton – July 27, 2007 1:45 PM
I received this lovely email from a reader the other day.
My wife loves plants. A few years ago, tired of looking at her hanging plants in their plain white plastic flower pots, she came up with an idea. She made covers for them from swimsuit material. We are now manufacturing them. It's called the "Pot Sock-It! Decorative Flowerpot Cover". Briefly, the Pot Sock-It is a simple, decorative stretchable sleeve designed to cover and enhance the appearance of a flower pot. The fabric and design allow the Pot Sock-It to tightly hug the contours of the flowerpot, retaining its' original shape and pattern. Also, because it's made of swimsuit material, it stands up well to the weather, resisting fade and dry-rot for years. It's available in many different colors, prints and patterns, and is a practical, easy, fun, smart and beautiful way to decorate! Simply slide the Pot Sock-It over your plain white flowerpot and you instantly have a new, gorgeous flower pot! You can learn more at www.potsockit.com. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
These look really cute, and would really help all the pots match regardless of what you hang or put out. Priced less than $10. Click for more pictures.

Most hummingbird feeders look the same. They are functional, but boring. These feeders from Uncommon Goods are anything but ordinary. This sailboat feeder is made from recycled glass. It features two hand-blown glass chambers. Flower-shaped feeding tubes blossom from each bottle. This makes the feeding experience as natural and comfortable as possible for all your garden's hummingbirds. Priced less than $50.
In the early 90's, I was the polka dot princess. While I don't live for polka dots anymore, this feeder did catch my eye. The handmade feeder comes ready-to-hang with a 7" black metal hook. Priced around $40.
The Ferris Wheel design of this charming hummingbird feeder is sure to enchant! Three recycled cobalt glass feeding stations, each featuring a perch, allow multiple hummingbirds to feed at once. Three hand-blown red glass flower feeding tubes mimic trumpet-vine, a hummingbird favorite! It does note that for the safety of the hummingbird, the Ferris Wheel does not spin. That might provide some real backyard entertainment. Priced around $50.

July 4th is such a fun holiday. We went to the fireworks store over the weekend. We bought sparklers, snap and pops and a few other minor fireworks. With the drought in our area, we did not purchase anything that flies up in the air and shoots sparks. We didn't want to be the ones to set the neighborhood on fire. I do not think Hallmark makes a card for that yet.
I need to figure out where to hang these cute lanterns. We were at a party over the weekend that had these hanging outside. They look so cool. I bet they would look great off the ceiling of a screened-in porch. A set of three is priced less than $15.
I just love this really cute patriotic table-topper set. Add some hamburgers, chips and a watermelon, and you are ready to celebrate. You get a tablecloth, table-topper and two packages of napkins. Available in either blue or red. Priced less than $70 for the set.
If you throw a lot of parties, Grandin Road has customized disposable cups and beverage napkins with your three-letter monogram or a special greeting for guests. This allows you to really add a personal touch to your outdoor party. Each party accessory comes in convenient sets of 100 to cater to large-scale, outdoor entertaining. While the only party I threw for 100 people was my wedding reception, it would be fun to have some personalized plastic cups to use year-round. Probably not $100 worth of fun, but it might be. Priced less than $100. 
Make patriotic arrangements, give the kids their own flags or decorate around the house with this set of 30 cotton mini-flags. I saw a vase just full of flags at a business the ot
