The Sun Tracker is a small rotating device (like a lazy susan) that slowly rotates under your potted indoor plant. It will keep your house plant from becoming “lopsided” in the plants quest to reach out to the sun.
The Sun Tracker is only $30 and runs on 3 C batteries.
Here is what the manufacturer has to say, “Sun Tracker automatically rotates your plant in the sun, for beautiful, even, foliage growth.
If a plant gets sun on only one side, the growth of that plant foliage will be uneven. The Sun Tracker platform, however, automatically rotates slowly (choose from two speeds), to make sure the entire plant gets proper sunlight throughout the day. 40-lb. capacity. Three “C†batteries not included. 2†tall, 10-5â„8†in diameter.”

Steptoe and Wife (don’t ask me) has a new crop of beautiful custom handrails designed for luxury homes, offices and hotels. When I was at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco, they had railings similar to the ones pictured.
Obviously these are beautiful and functional hand rails. These particular guard rails are from the Chanel Boutique in Toronto, Ontario.
These rails are elegant and completely custom. They were designer created and completely installed using fabricated parts, nothing stock was used at the Chanel Boutique.
The design speaks for itself and the quality is spoken for by Steptoe’s many clients.
As Steptoe says, they are “100 years behind the times”, in terms of quality and design.

This is just a simple courtesy reminder that you need to replace your smoke detector batteries on a regular interval.
I change mine twice a year. I replace them the first time I have to turn the air conditioner on for the first time, then again when I have to turn the heater on for the first time.
You might want to use a calendar to remind you…New Years and the beginning of summer. Whatever helps you remember, but don’t forget!
Most smoke detectors use 9-volt batteries, so make sure you have a few on hand.
