You should consider though that sometimes the weathered, antique look adds a lot of charm. How to Get This Look: - Put the window on the floor and put the poster or picture on it so that the front is facing down.- Use the thumbtacks to attach the picture or poster to the window.- Make sure the picture is right side up.- Lean the window against the wall so that you are looking at the back. - Put the 2 mug hooks on the back of your window in the top corners. - Make sure the opening for the mug hooks is facing down. - Use the wire to create a "hanger" for the window.

Secure the two ends of the wire on the mug hooks. Make sure there is a lot of excess wire so that when you hang the window the wire creates a triangle with 4-inch sides. - Hammer the nail into the wall where you want your window.- You can now add window treatments to it just as you would a normal window or wrap silk flower garlands around the wire.Old windows can be used in a variety of ways. Here are just a few more creative ideas for the old window and a plain wall. Decoupage pressed flowers on the different panes of glass.

Try using whole flowers or just petals for an interesting country garden look. Decoupage postcards from around the world into the panes or pictures of a favorite city, like Paris. Paint the frame to match your child's room. Attach clothespins (also painted in a coordinated color) all around the outside of the window. As you child grows attach school pictures to the panes and let them use the clothespins to showcase their drawings, report cards and other mementos.

When the child graduates you have a ready-made decoration. Make etched glass designs in the panes or make faux stained glass out of the windowpanes. Your local craft store should have everything you need to do this, from instructions to materials. Use the window to create a fun decorative piece in the kitchen. Get a shelf the same width as the window and paint it the same color.

Put the shelf on the wall just above the window so they look like one piece. Put mug hooks evenly spaced along the bottom of the window frame and use them to hold cute mugs, wire whisks, ladles, potholders or other items. Put recipe books along with a few decorative items that match your kitchen on the shelf, such as a vase of flowers, decorative plates or a nice clock. ? 2005, .

Red Ambrosia expects its appeal will be greatest among women and couples between the ages of 30 and 60. While indebted to the pioneering adult shops of the past 25 years which made it acceptable for women to explore their sexuality, Red Ambrosia recognizes a current need for products more elevated than the mass-merchandise, plastic sex-toys filling the shelves of most sex shops. Mature, affluent consumers are enjoying new sexual possibilities, largely due to the proliferation of Viagra and Cialas, not to mention the legacy of Sex and the City, and they seek adult retail that reflects their upscale tastes and needs. This is why the time has never been better for Red Ambrosia to make its debut.

And, most importantly, we want you to feel great every time you wear them.Co-founder Jason Henderson has been playing golf since he was eight years old, and one of his reasons for working with bamboo in the three year development of this clothing line is the plant's resiliency and renewability, "golf is a game played outdoors so, as golfers, it is our duty to look at ways to preserve the environment. Most golf shirt manufacturers use polyester and other chemicals in producing their performance lines. Polyester comes from petroleum, a depleting resource, and it is not biodegradable. Bamboo fiber provides the same performance characteristics we desire ? plus, it so much softer to the touch - with all the added environmental benefits. Whenever I show someone a Moseau shirt, his first reaction is to think it's an Egyptian cotton, or silk blend.

When I tell them it is bamboo, they are floored. And when I explain all the added benefits over cotton, they are sold. In my mind, bamboo is one of nature's best friend." Moseau products will be sold through green grass golf shops, sporting goods stores, and online at www.moseau.com. In the near future, you can also see us at the following golf shows: Southern California PGA Golf Show, Northern California PGA Golf Show, Michigan Golf Show, Chicago Golf Show, and the Seattle Golf Show..

Try this quick little technique and spark those sensual fires into flames. Dress to feel sexy. You could try this completely naked, or in your silk undies, or a sensual piece of lingerie.

Something that makes you feel sensual and sexy. Sit down or lie down someplace quiet. Take a very deep breath in through your nose, not your mouth. Breathing through your nose keeps the charge of energy in check, increasing control and slowing your metabolism. To breathe properly, when you inhale your abdomen should protrude not your chest.

When you exhale, your abdomen should flatten. When you breathe in you should breathe completely until the lungs are full and when you exhale it should be until all air is expelled. Breathe deeply and completely. Try not to think about anything. Focus your mind completely on your breath, letting it flow in and out with each breath.

Repeating a mantra such as the word "relax" or some other soothing word while breathing can also be helpful in keeping the mind focused on the breath. For the goal of arousal you could choose a word like "sexy" or "passion" or "sensuous." Do this several times until you begin to feel your body begin to relax. Once you are relaxed then take the very tip of your fingertips and caress your body. Run your fingertips gently across your arms, across your inner thighs, your breasts, your abdomen, your neck, your face. Touch any or all parts of your body with a sensuous caress.Keep your mind focused completely on the enjoyable sensations you are experiencing.

When breathing out, with your minds eye guide your breath into your breasts and vaginal area. When you begin to feel the surge of arousal, meditate on it and let it radiate through your body. Imagine that when you breathe in and out that sexual energy is pulsating through your body. Continue to breathe deeply though the nose.As you continue to touch yourself, bring a particular fantasy into mind and play it out in your head. This fantasy may include your favorite celebrity, that sexy neighbor of yours, or whoever it is that light your fires.

If you are in a relationship you can fantasy about what you ?re going to do with your lover the next time you're together or what you would like to happen. You can also relive a particular passionate sexual adventure you experienced in the past. Once you are aroused you can then masturbate, make love with your partner or let the arousal build until later.Practicing this technique on a regular basis can help build your desires and keep them alive..

It is a lacking mindset that is responsible for our financial difficulties. They believe: 1) I don't deserve this 2) I feel guilty because it happened to me and not ___________ 3) This can't be real 4) etc... Those with money that work their way up from the bottom or build the wealth they have easily, have the one thing that most of us lack - a million dollar mind set. All wealth begins with it and all wealth is maintained by cultivating this feeling of prosperity. Their beliefs are: 1) I am wealthy.

2) If I lost it all tommorow, I could make it back easily. 3) I deserve to be wealthy I would bet that most of us could compile a list of hundreds of things that we "want." That sense of wanting means that we feel that we do not have these things. When we replace this wanting feeling with the sense of already having wealth, amazing things start to occur within our brains. We begin to come up with ways of having wealth instead of merely wishing and wanting it. How do we create this million dollar mindset? 1) Think about being wealthy and write down any thoughts that come up.

Write down the objections that already play in your mind. Write down the excuses like" It takes money to make money." And write down all the things that you wish you could have if only... 2) Release on those thoughts. Let them go and keep letting them go until the negative emotions go away with them. 3) Replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

4) Fill your mind with the images of what you want and picture yourself already having them. 5) See yourself as you will be. Feel what you will feel. Add audio and even the things that you will smell when you reach that state. ex.

the type of perfume you might wear, the sound of bankers begging to give you loans, the feel of silk upon your skin, etc... 6) Keep releasing your negative emotions and thoughts until you have what you have been wanting all these years. 7) Act upon the incredible ideas that your subconscious shares with you fearlessly..
