Babo's Bird Uglydoll Now At Tuesdays And Thursdays

You know how everyone looks like their pet? Well, Babo looks just like his pet peeve! BIRDS!
Babo can’t stand birds! They always eat the crumbs his cookies leave behind! Well, too
bad because one bird has taken a liking to Babo and now likes to call him mommy.
Sounds serious, right? And Babo doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. So now Babo’s Bird is.....Babo’s bird. Luckily Babo doesn’t have shoulders either. Have any cookie crumbs?

Bananagrams - the Award Winning Anagram Game

Bananagrams is a FAST and FUN word game that requires NO pencil, paper or board. All you need is a table. One hand can be played in as little as 5 minutes. Great family fun as well as being educational! Bananagrams portability makes it perfect for travel. Just grab the pouch and go!


Place all 144 tiles face down on center of table. These tiles are referred to as the "BUNCH". For games of 2-4 people, each player takes 21 letters from the bunch, keeping them face down. For 5-6 players, 15 letters are taken. For 7-8 (or more) players, 11 letters are taken.

Any one player says "SPLIT" whereupon all players turn their own tiles face up and proceed to form their OWN collection of connecting and intersecting words. The words may be horizontal or vertical, reading left to right or top to bottom. Each player may rearrange his/her own words as often as desired. Players DO NOT take turns, but play independently of each other and at the same time.


After playing at the New York Toy Fair (and missing an appointment with another supplier because we were having so much fun) we just knew that we had to offer Bananagrams for our customers! You'll go bananas for Bananagrams !


Bananagrams is now available at Tuesdays and Thursdays - Making Ordinary Days Extraordinary

Finding Your Solmate

Life is too short for matching socks, especially when you can wear these fun and beautiful socks! Multipatterned and colorful mismatched socks for children, adults, and now babies from Vermont's Socklady.

Marianne Wakerlin, the Socklady is the founder and owner of Sol Mate Socks. The company is named after her mom, Sunny, who taught Marianne how to knit. Marianne continued to knit for the next 40 years, but it wasn’t until she started knitting socks that her real passion was born.

"I found it exhilarating, designing a pair of socks that didn't match and were knit in random patterns with multiple colors. I loved my finished socks!" Within a few years Marianne had knit over one hundred pairs of socks for family and friends, and she decided to turn her hobby into a business. Her colorful and complex patterns are knit in the USA at a family owned knitting mill, hand finished and mismatched.

Solmate Socks are a part of the fun at Tuesdays and Thursdays

Greet your guests with our Seashell guest book--it even says "Welcome" on the cover. The fully debossed and spot laminated scallop shell image and gold foil stamping really stand out against the seagreen cloth cover, and you can practically smell the sea air.

Scallop shells were the symbol of St. James and medieval pilgrims who made the trek to his shrine at Santiago de Compostela were awarded a scallop as a souvenir or their journey. Did they register in guest books as they made their way along the Camino?

A Caffeinated Boost To Make Ordinary Gardens Extraordinary - Courtesy Of Starbucks

One of the more brilliant things done by Starbucks, and not known by many people, is the "Grounds For Your Garden" program. In virtually every company owned Starbucks across the US Starbucks saves the used grounds for gardeners. Rose afficianados know well how spreading coffee grounds as a top dressing on the flower beds produce the most brilliant blooms, but virtually every other plant in the garden benefits as well. The grounds are always bagged up - reusing those bags in which the whole beans are shipped to the stores - so getting them home is easy.

Besides using the grounds as a top dressing for blooming plants, grounds have also been scattered around the base of foundation plants. On occassion, when there is a bit too much carbon based items in the compost (primarily all those dried leaves in Autumn) an addition of nitogen rich coffee grounds sets the compost back into balance. Aside from the benefit to my garden, the program also keeps millions of pounds of waste out of landfills.

Sometimes its little things like this that can make ordinary days, and ordinary gardens, into extraordinary ones!

the not so itsy bitsy spider

With its creepy crawly front legs and realistic fur, this tarantula hand puppet from Folkmanis is both fascinating and freaky at the same time. Use your fingers to make its front legs crawl and your imagination to bring it to life!

When he (she?) is not being used as a hand puppet it looks like a napping tarantula. (That's actually what we love about Folkmanis Puppets - they are like realistic plush animals with the added bonus of movement!)
