I hired Tina, the creator of Fumara to paint a custom mural in my home. I was so amazed by the final results! It far exceeded anything I've ever seen! We were so happy with the work of this extremely talented artist that we also hired her to do hand-painted wallpaper in all three floors of my home, and commissioned some of her fine art pieces as well. Finally, she also provides decorating services and advice. Our home has never looked lovelier than it does now, with all of her special touches! If you appreciate fine art and beauty, I highly, highly recommend her!

My family uses LaFratta Electric for all of our electrical needs. We live in a historical home with antique wiring, so having someone we can count on for our home projects is essential. LaFratta's staff understands the intricacies in old wiring and has helped to keep us safe and at the same time, update some areas of our home.

I recently started shopping at Joann Fabrics and Crafts and am surprised by the wide selection of items available there. I've found decorative wrought iron tables, cabinets, fake flowers and other seasonal accents, and a wide variety of craft items and projects. I often buy children's birthday gifts in the store, and always spend much more than I intend when I go in, because it is easy to find lots of reasonably-priced items but they do add up if you aren't careful! But I recommend this as a great place when you are looking for something for your home or for a home project.

Yesterday I stopped into my local Family Dollar Tree store for some Christmas lights. They had a nice selection and the prices were reasonable. I also was pleased to find a wonderful array of popular children's toys on display, so I was able to do some Christmas shopping at the same time! The only catch was that few things in the store were $1! The dollar seems to be more in name than in reality. Also, only debit cards or cash were accepted, no credit cards. But I got what I needed and although the store was crowded, I was in and out quickly!

I came across Commodities Market by accident one day and now, make it a regular stop on my shopping trips! This small consignment shop is jam-packed with vintage and antique furniture, collectibles, toys and jewelry. It even has a back room with just vintage kitchen items. The prices are extremely reasonable (much, much less than I've found anywhere else) and the selection is varied and interesting!

I trust my family's safety to Home and Commercial Security on a daily basis. They monitor my home with motion sensors on my doors and windows and they also monitor my fire detectors. They are reliable, responsive and very personable to work with. Unlike larger chain alarm companies, we get personalized service and trust their reliability. I highly recommend them!
