The wonderful architectural details salvaged from 19th- and early-20th-century buildings are often readily available and frequently affordable. But many of us don't know quite how to use the iron grille work, wooden lintels, carved terra cotta, or other beautifully crafted items we find at antique shops, flea markets, garage sales, and salvage yards. This gorgeous volume by the owner of the renowned New York City store of the same name explains how to utilize all these rich rescued ornaments, often in inventive ways other than those originally intended. Column capitals, for instance, make terrific table bases; a wrought-iron gatepost becomes an elegant light fixture; stained-glass panels can be made into a room divider; an elaborate stone surround camouflages an ordinary stove hood. Many magnificently crafted stone, metal, or wood items succeed simply as dramatic sculptural pieces hung on the wall or set on a table. The joy of using these things, as we learn from this wonderful book, is threefold: they enhance our homes; they reduce the need to expend new resources and energy, since they recycle preexisting items; and they help to preserve our magnificent architectural heritage. Rather than being tossed into landfills (as was formerly the case), these elements can become part of our present, enriching our lives with the power of the past and lending a timelessness that graces the present. --Amy Handy.

This is a very special book to let a very special mom know how much she is thought of and loved. From chef to seamstress to doctor to comic to storyteller to spirit-lifter and everything in between, she is the superwoman in our lives. Because we don't always find the time in our busy schedules to let her know she means the world to us, this lighthearted, sensible, and sensitive collection is filled with lots and lots of great big hugs, warm wishes, the utmost thanks, the happiest smiles, a sprinkle of sunshine, the jolliest laughter, the sweetest thoughts, and all the love a heart can possibly hold. It is the perfect way to say "thank you" for all the years of Mom's hard work and unconditional love.

There are so many words I could try to say to you, Mom, to let you know how much you mean to me, but really the two most important things I want you to know are… "Thank you" for all your love, and "I love you" with all my heart. - Deanna Beisser.
