A Variation on Italian Wedding Soup

So, the kiddo is home sick today.  Sore throat, congestion.  That sort of thing.  With the whole H1N1 scare, I just decided to keep her home.  Glad I did because now she has a low grade fever.

It's also a bit nippy here.  Well, nippy by Texas standards.  Which means soup is on the menu tonight!

I created a variation of Italian Wedding Soup that is easy and yummy and a big hit with Shane.

What's that?  You want me to share?  Sure!

Ingredients:

1 lb of hot Italian sausage (must use hot, regular doesn't taste the same)

Chicken Stock

1 12 oz package of baby spinach

Cooked Spiral Noodles

Directions:

Brown the sausage.  Drain off fat.  Add chicken stock and spinach.  Simmer for 15 minutes.  Add noodles and serve.

I said it was EASY!  Enjoy!

The 42 Event: TV Stand Fever

We've got TV Stand Fever at Shaka Studios today!

Today's blue plate special is 42% OFF our most popular TV stands! Yes, I said most popular! Not the TV stands we hardly ever sell, we are running a sale on the TV stands we sell the most!

Yes, I said 42% off.

Yesterday, we shipped out the two gorgeous custom TV stands shown here. We liked them so much we added them as standard products AND included them in today's 42 event promotion at 42% off regular price!

What?

You haven't heard about our big 42 event? Well, our fearless leader, Shane Rodarte, is turning 42 this month. Every year we throw a huge party for him on our website. This year, we have really outdone ourselves, if I do say so myself.

Every day, for 42 days, our most popular items will be on sale. There is a catch! The item will usually only be on sale for ONE day!! We will unveil a weeks worth of specials every Tuesday. The event ends December 23rd.

We've also introduced new payment options! Our standard terms are 50% down, balance due when we start your job. New payment terms are:

• $100 down "lay away" - make payments on your own schedule. When the total is paid in full, we start your job.
• 33/33/34 - 1/3rd down with 1/3rd payments each month. We start the job after the 3rd payment.
• Flexible - Discuss your needs with us and we'll work out a flexible payment plan.

Computer Wall Unit

Several years ago, the DePalma family commissioned a black on java computer wall unit with custom pewter hardware. They recently moved, and Joan wanted to share how perfectly the unit fits into its' new space.

The DePalma's purchased the pewter hardware at Restoration Hardware.

Shelf brackets.

Crown molding.

Door and drawer bead detail.

Great photos, eh?

Coffee Tables

I finished updating the coffee table category on our website this morning by enlarging all the thumbnails and adding more information on how to order custom turned legs for your coffee table.

Table furniture styles are chiefly identified by the design of the legs.

• Shaker tables have primitive painted finishes and either 4-sided tapered legs or basic farm style turned legs
• Heppelwhite tables are stained with black legs and have 4-sided tapered legs
• Tuscan tables have heavily distressed stain with either cabriole or english country turned legs
• Early American tables can be painted or stained and have 4-sided tapered legs or colonial turned legs

When it comes to matching your new coffee table to your home decor, it's all about the legs.

6-Seat Shaker Style Dining Table

Julie in California called today to rave about her new 6-Seat Pine Dining Table. She told me: " It's perfect. I love it more each day. I'm head over heals in love with it. In fact, when my daughter saw it she asked if she can have when I die!" Tee hee hee... at Shaka Studios we pride ourselves on making heirloom quality furniture but we hope our clients get to use theirs for many, many years before their progeny get to enjoy it!

The Ultimate Luxury Gift: Tiger Maple Bed

Can you imagine waking up every morning in your very own handmade tiger maple pencil post bed? I bet you can! Especially after I tell you that we have the lumber available to make one just for you in time for Christmas (when you order before November 10th). What if I told you that if you ordered by October 31st, you could have the bed of your dreams for 10% off? Pretty exciting, huh? Here's the catch: we can only make one of these beautiful beds before Christmas. So, if you want it, you need to order it today!
