Let me introduce myself. My name is Elaine, but you can call me Lainey and I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

I love Antiques, Pinterest, eBay, research, reading, shopping and more. I always try to find that “IT” item and sometimes it takes a while to find. I am not one to settle on just mediocre. Old or used is ok if it’s quality made.

I like to know what I am buying, where it is made and what materials it is made of so I can make a good decision about the product. Sadly I often find retailers understaffed and staff often undertrained and often misinformed about the products and services they sell.

One day I thought: I would really like to share this with you and hear what you have to say.

I won’t limit myself to just one group of products. I’m open to discuss gadgets, products, and other interesting consumer topics.

Some of the posts I’m working on include: how to keep our cheese fresher and what “sateen” is and why you should avoid products that contain it.
