Cleaning the tables…Made easy.

  


In the last few days….I’ve gotten questions like “how do you clean the tables?”   Well, since the tables are all made with leather tops, its very similar to how you’d clean a leather jacket. I have quite a few tips and instructions on the ”Do’s and Don’ts” of cleaning the leather hides as well as the hair on the zebra prints. The only hides i would be extra careful with would be the pigskin/suede. But i don’t use much of those.  On my website’s ‘FAQ’ section you will find the cleaning instructions, but this link will take you straight there :    http://www.madebygirl.com/leathercare.html


The tables are designed to give your living room decor a stylish and sexy look, it may bring out the colors in your sofa, or even just as an ice-breaker during a party. I recommend purchasing tables like these if you are the type of person who is into maintaining your furniture pieces looking great! These beautiful and unique tables are different from anything you will find out there in coffee tables. I guarantee these tables will make a statement in your home or boutique! Plus, a percentage of each table sold will go to Breast Cancer Research or Lied Animal Shelter in NV.  To purchase this style or for a custom piece, visit:  www.MadeByGirl.com


*GOTTA LOVE IT, Happy Holidays!!!

First book i ever read…

“Charlotte’s Web” …….is such a classic story. I love this book…and now its a Hollywood film. The movie actually opens today in theatres. But, if you haven’t read the book yet, pls pick it up….it would definately make a great X’mas gift for kids!



Glass Raindrop ornaments….who would have thought!

 


One word came to mind when i saw these, nostalgia!  I remember being a little girl growing up in Anchorage, Alaska…and seeing these frozen droplets of rain hanging from the leafless branches. They looked identical to these ornaments. What a unique idea! I love them!


You can purchase these at: www.SmithandHawken.com


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

‘Shelter Dogs’

shelterdogs.jpgI love to read and wanted to let everyone know about this beautful book.  “Shelter Dogs” - its a collection of photographs of dogs from various shelters. Each with a short description of their situation. The photographs in this book by Traer Scott are amazing! He captures the souls and personality of these dogs right through the pages. Unfortunately, some of the dogs had to be euthanized due to limited space in the shelter, their stories are heartbreaking. Once again, people that care and want to help. They are donating a percentage of proceeds from sales to shelters. Good for them!
