![]() Coffeeshop Outerwear Junior's Faux Fur Vest,Silver,Medium $59.00 If you're looking for an easy way to update your wardrobe for fall/winter, this vest is a great way to do it. The faux fur is of good quality. Hook and eye closures make this easy to wear open or closed and it's a great way to dress up a basic turtleneck and jeans. I'm on a fur vest kick this season and this vest is a great value. ![]() Learning Resources Pretend & Play Snack Shop $39.99 The Learning Resources Pretend & Play Snack Shop is a unique toy that was well conceived and designed. Younger children (under 10 years) have the opportunity to set up the table top store with miniature snacks (muffins, ice cream and more) and then 'sell' it using play money. My grandchildren played with this for hours and then asked grandpa to get a large refrigerator box so that they could 'expand' their store. The Snack Shop comes folded up and is put together with very little effort- then can be stored in the original small flat box. Children reinforce their manners, sorting skills, money handling skills, making good choices skills and much more - plus it is fun and different every time you are the customer or the store owner. I recommend this compact toy because it can go anywhere and engages the children in beneficial pretend play. ![]() Setting Up Shop: The Practical Guide to Designing and Building Your Dream Shop $21.95 I found a lot of good ideas in this book. I am picking up woodworking and am building my shop. This book gives many examples of furniture shops and workplaces. You can easily adapt the tips to your space. The photos are interesting and informative, and the author talks a lot about how to make your life easier by setting your tools up in the right way and putting what you need at your finger tips. May be boring for someone who is a professional woodworker. |
