Get Organized!





It's time for New Years' resolutions. If you just do one ... Get Organized! Whether it is your kitchen or workshop, studio or office ... it is so hard to get things done when things are not organized. I know ... I spend too much time finding things I need ... I get distracted by clutter ... I need to get organized too! A wise man ... Benjamin Franklin I believe ... or maybe it was Charles Goodrich ... once said: Have a place for every thing, and keep every thing in its proper place! My Dad told me that too!
 
There are plenty of cookie cutter room organizing systems out there. Those are great as an underpinning to your space ... but in order to be comfortable, be inspired and be creative, you need to make that space reflect you.
 
We have quite a few pieces in our shop to help. Boxes and bins, racks and baskets. New fangled things and vintage accessories. Take a look at some of what we have. Come on in to see it all.

Hi! I'm Buster Brown. I live in a shoe....

Do you remember Buster Brown shoes? I do. I also remember watching the Buster Brown TV show ... Smilin' Ed's Gang and later Andy's Gang. The shoes were "special." Back in those days I went to Catholic school and the nun's required us to wear shoes ... I mean real shoes ... "oxfords" we called them. Mom bought us Buster Brown shoes 'cause they would last the whole year! The advertising line for Buster Brown was: Hi! I'm Buster Brown. I live in a shoe.  That's my dog Tige. He lives in there too! The Brown S hoe C ompany has been around for over 130 years. Today they also market Famous Footwear and Naturalizers, and they are a contract manufacturer for other shoe brands.  But they are most well-known for the Buster Brown line of shoes. In 190 2, cartoonist Richard Outcault introduced a new comic strip character, a mischievous little rich boy named Buster Brown and his dog Tige. Two years later, at the 1904 St. Louis W...

By 1924 the time had come for a permanent church in Kilauea ... In 1939 the Kilauea Sugar Company deeded the churchyard to Christ Memorial Church and gave the native stone used in the erection of the present building ... The graveyard surrounding the church dates back to the earliest days of ...
