JustLeatherRoses™

Very soon it will be Valentine’s Day. This year why not give your sweetheart the type of rose that will last forever instead of just a few days? I’m talking about handcrafted, quality leather roses!

A dozen leather roses or even a single one is a very unique gift for Valentines day. In fact lots of people don’t even know they make leather roses, not ones that look like real ones anyways.

These leather roses come in long stem design with real leather making the rose petals. A bouquet of a dozen or half dozen red leather roses come in a clear plastic long stem rose box with ribbon, tissue and glitter.

It’s Not Just About the Cruise, Choosing the Right Caribbean Island to Visit

January 10, 2013 by




Caribbean vacations

Out of the thousands of islands that make up the Caribbean, few more than a dozen are destinations that cater for cruise ships.

While the scorching sunshine, azure sea, and white sand beaches can be found at all of the Caribbean islands, you might be surprised to know that each island has its own distinct culture and range of activities to enjoy.

Some are quiet and isolated, and others bustling and energetic. Some islands are best for scuba diving, while others have excellent golf courses. Depending on what you are interested in, you can probably find a Caribbean island that offers you just what you are looking for. Then all you have to do is make sure you get a ticket for cruise liner that stops off there!

Disney's crystal arts shop

There are many great shops you can find inside Disney’s magic kingdom theme park. As someone who goes there a lot I’m a bit jaded about all the stuff. Most is overpriced plastic “stuff”.

However one shop I highly recommend checking out the next time your at the magic kingdom is the crystal arts shop right at the front of the park on main street USA. It’s on your right as you walk toward the castle.

Inside here you can see the most beautiful cut crystal figurines, blown glass art, spun glass figures and lots more. They have a glass works artist that makes spun glass art as you watch.
