POPSMassachusetts Bakery Distributes Wheat Berries for Customers to Grow in Their Yards the old ways are often touted as being the best, this is an idea who's time has come back around. We have made some fundamental mistakes allowing our food production to go corporate, this may be a start at reclaiming our agrarian birthright. The further a thing moves away from it's center, the more corrupt it becomes, perhaps it is time to revisit the concept of village.

POPSInteractive Journalism 2004 Batten Awards for Innovations in Journalism J-Lab (The Institute for Interactive Journalism) just announced the 2004 Batten Award winners. The ceremony will be held on September 10, 2004 in Washington DC at the National Press Club. One of my favorites is P.O.V.’s Borders/Environment web series. Imagine a trip to the gas pump where you fill up with french fry grease. Plant an interactive garden with heirloom seeds. And what are the myths and hype around bottled water? This project examined these and other issues with non-linear storytelling, digital art, and interactive opportunities. Visit the links provided to see all the winners. J-Lab P.O.V.

POPSAdvent House from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Ever since I saw National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, I've wanted this advent calendar. It's an absolutely stunning Victorian mansion with beautiful artwork hidden behind shaded windows. The whole thing can be lit from within, giving both the open and closed windows a soft, warm holiday glow. I finally found it at theadventhouse.com . I was dismayed to find that only 250 of the houses are made each year, and that they cost $449 each, plus shipping! The house has to be ordered a year in advance, too. The advance ordering, I can understand. It must take a long time to construct something of this quality and craftsmanship. Although the price is extraordinarily high, when you consider it in terms of the heirloom-quality, it may be worth it. It's good-sized, too, at 31.25" W x 21.5"H x 11"D. 22 pounds, and will take up a bit of space. I still want one, though I doubt it will ever be something I'm able to own.

POPSSmith Family Antiques
We sell only quality items and have over 20 years experience in the business. My wife and I are both passionate about fine antiques. There is nothing I love more than to admire the work of the true craftsmen that built furniture 100 or 200 years ago. Some items we sell are "as found" but if something we get needs repair, I try to deliver the same quality as the craftsmen of yesteryear. We hold ourselves to the highest standard. If you have a certain piece you are looking for please email us or give us a call. We will try to help you fine it or If you have a family heirloom or a special piece of furniture that needs to be restored, please look over some of our work using the "Restorations" or the "Hand Carvings" link to the left. There you will find photos of a few of the projects we have worked on and several photos of the type of Wood Carvings that we do. We can help with repair or replacement of veneer and some inlay, color matching, and maybe a few upholstery items. We also pay
