The 40-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Attachment Capable String Trimmer, 4.0 Ah Battery and Charger Included. I just bought this to maintain my small townhome yard. It’s really powerful and makes cutting and trimming my yard so quick and easy. I don’t have to worry about gas or a cord, and the battery charge lasts for well over an hour, which is more than enough to cut my small yard.

I have a different brand but I agree with you, a battery powered weed eater and leaf blower were two of the best things I ever bought!

So quick, easy and TROUBLE-FREE.

My battery powered leaf blower is plenty strong enough to blow tree buds, grass clippings and leaves off of my driveway and patio.......and it is much quieter than gas or electric.

And, I bought the same brand for both, making sure they each used the same size battery which makes them even more convenient.

Neither can handle heavy duty jobs but they are more than adequate 90% of the time.....well worth it, IMO.

We found a vintage end table at a local consignment store a few weeks ago. It is a turn of this century Ethan Allen, and while not the very best quality, it is good enough for the use I have for it. It replaces a weary shelved cabinet that has shelves for magazines. We moved that piece to the bedroom, and moved the table in there to the porch where it was designed to go.

I like the way the table looks in my living area. The old one was too tall for the tallish lamp that sat on it. And it had seen better days. This one looks better, and I like the wood tone better too. It cost us all of $50.

I think we have this one, too. But, that is not my department. Hubby does the yard work.

Dark composite granite sink. Best thing ever, oil it twice a year and it shows nothing.

A 14” square LED ceiling light (Lithonia) for my laundry room. It is sleek and modern looking...it looks like a Chicklet, and is bright as daylight, compared to my old ceiling fixture.

Hmmmm. I bought one for a closet a few years back that looks like a Chiclet. Same opinion.

I purchased a flexible neoprene sleeve cord organizer from Amazon. That sounds awkward but that's kind of the name of it. It's a length of neoprene about 5" wide that is reversible with white neoprene on one side and black on the other. The fabric can be made into a tube with velcro closure and you can cut the neoprene to make the length of tube you need. It's been very helpful to disguise some cables that were an eyesore.

I bought a second hand, solid wood hutch type thing that I liked the looks of, and put it in the hallway in our entryway right before you go out the front door.

It is the perfect thing for putting things on that need to be remembered; taken to school or work, things like lunch boxes, bills that need to be mailed, gifts to be taken to work for a baby shower, etc., kind of a "catch all" if you will.

I guess most people have something like this, but we didn't, and it has been a lifesaver.

I clear any "clutter" off of it when we have guests over and put out some scented candles, candy dish, or some type of seasonal decor on it.

Little things make a big difference sometimes.

Isnt it fun when you find “the perfect thing”? I just got a small side table for my front porch, to set a drink on between the two chairs. I was just wandering around Home Goods and there it was. Perfect.
