Az eredetileg Dél-Olaszországból származó citromos finomság készítésének több százéves hagyománya van. Aki járt már Olaszországban egészen biztosan találkozott már az enyhén alkoholos frissítő itallal, hiszen a helyiek minden alkalommal ezt isszák - ha jókedvük van azért, ha melegük van azért, ha jó

Six great ideas for space-challenged woodworkers to get more out of their small shops.
My new friend, and Laurelhurst neighbor, donaleen, gifted me with a copy of a reprinted period house catalog. I believe the original book was published in 1921 by the Morgan Woodwork Organization and was called "Building with Assurance." The catalog was reprinted in its entirety by Lee Valley Tools Ltd. in 1987, under the title Homes & Interiors of the 1920's. When donaleen placed the book in my hands, I got so excited when I thumbed through it. This catalog is loaded with great pictures: Millwork, doors, windows, wainscoting, leaded glass, stair parts, breakfast nooks, built-ins and more. It has something like 400 pages of great detailed drawings. I'm going to show some of my favorites, so this post is very picture heavy. I'm going to put in a page break, so if you want to load the pictures, you'll have to open the post. Here are a few of my personal favorites. I'm always happy to find stained kitchen cabinets. The brackets on the upper cabinets look almost exactly like the ones we put in our kitchen. There are a number of house plans offered with color drawings. And an amazing array of millwork and built-ins. These table and chairs actually fold out of the way. It's hard to stop adding pictures. There are literally so many good things in the catalog, I have to force myself to stop posting them here at the blog. I'm just going to add one more thing, because it's in color: Leaded glass.
