hey soul brother
I liked this song by the Born Ruffians the first time I heard it on XM Radio. It's so new, my snazzy Shazam app didn't even recognize it. Come to find out it's a free download to promote their new album that's being released in June.
After I googled the lyrics, I liked it even more. They're just so fun & quirky…
Get your act together, please.
Help your papa to gather leaves.
Go and help your grandfather
He’s seventy-seven and you are eleven
So rake the yard or clean the eaves troughs
It’s one or the other, so go help your papa please.
Oh ooooh
You never ask sister to help with the chores that are physically straining
Sometimes I wish that I was a sole brother.
You never (you never) ask sister (ask sister)
To help with the chores that are physically straining
Sometimes (sometimes) I wish (I wish) that I was (i was)
a sole brother an only child
I know I fake it, I wish I was a soul brother
Jessica, I love you but I wish I was a sole brother.

words of wisdom for your wall
Just in… loads of quotes that inspire, make you smile or even reflect on what this life is truly about. With so many styles to choose from, our staff had trouble picking just one favorite.
These signs start out as small as 3×4 inches and come as large as 15×20. And since they're 1 3/4" thick, the smaller ones can also easily sit on a mantel or bookcase.
Prices start at $7.95 and select smaller styles are available online and the rest of them are waiting for you to see in person at our Rochester & Berkley locations.

the ladies from laffodil lane
Meet the gals from Laffodil Lane of Raleigh, North Carolina. They are four girlfriends who started this business venture together. It
all began one weekend on a beach. They made a magnetic frame and started
brainstorming right then and there on how they could sell them as a
business.
Here they are three years later, still making fabulous magnetic boards for you to showcase photos and other mementos in a
beautiful way!
Come see these pretties in person at our Rochester & Berkley locations. They measure 24 x 24 and retail for $79.95

Tweet! Tweet! These are words we seem to be hearing over and over these
days. But in our case, we're not talking about "tweet" as in Twitter.
Instead, we're focusing on all the terrific bird-oriented items out
there that are, hopefully, harbingers of spring.
Wouldn't these colorful, 3-inch-high ceramic salt and pepper shakers
look delightful on your breakfast table? Find them at Catching
Fireflies in both Berkley and Rochester. Magnetic Love Birds $13.95
