    Bulk pillowcases

    We have, and we need to do another order, they have held up for about 5 years, but you know- make up really takes it's toll on them when people don't wash their faces before going to bed...Ours were percale, which I hate, but you don't have to iron them. Cotton would be nicer, you can bleach...

    Favorite Spices

    For eggs: Fresh basil, fresh parsley or pesto For potatoes: Rosemary garlic mix or Italian seasoning For baking: cardamom, cinnamon and cloves (pie spices) or candied ginger Here's a chuckle for you: I served an omelet once and the guest asked what herbs I had used, I said, "Oh, you know, the...

    Guest's favorite K cups?

    So far Starbucks has disappeared the fastest...trying to get a count of how many get used per guest. One note, we were putting out half and half, which is nice to have fresh, but it seemed like we were throwing a lot away. Decided to try the mini moos, but when guests forget to shake them, they...

    Guest's favorite K cups?

    I know some of you are still in the woods and some of you buy what's on sale, but what are your guests favorite coffee and beverage flavors? We just got our machine and I don't know what I should buy next time. So far my personal favorite is the Green Mountain Chai Latte. I actually like it...

    Common areas

    If we had the $, I would put a sunroom style dining room off the back to serve breakfast in and a wrap around porch...Most people sit in our guest common room, not a lot of options, I am surprised more don't take advantage of the back yard, it's so nice out there. Many do hang out on the deck...

My grandmother had a cabin on the island and stayed there half the year, every year until she got too old... My grandpa...

    Road trip - West Coast version

    Gig Harbor is a cute little town on the sound, just across the bridge from Tacoma. Lots of shops and wonderful art galleries, antique's. There is a great place, the Tides Tavern, for brews and local fare, great fish and chips. Also a terrific Italian place, Il Lucano, the owners are from Italy...
