I can’t believe more people are not using Tracfones. I prefer no-contract cell phones and service versus paying hundreds per month – but then again, I don’t live my life via phone either!

Tracfones are now available that can handle just about anything more expensive “smart phones” can do – for a fraction of the cost. I’m still holding my cell phone expenses to around $90 per year. How many can say that?

I’ve had the same model phone now for about 4 years – and it cost me all of $19.95 when I bought it. I see no need to buy a model with more bells and whistles, but check out the link above and to the right if you’re in the mode for a new model.

Quite a bold statement! But no doubt true when you give a gift of lobster. And since one rarely sees the words “free” and “lobster” in the same place, I thought this post was worth the effort.

Yesterday we looked at some beautiful Alpaca sweaters and a solid, heavy-duty WWII Military sweater with patch elbows. Free shipping has been extended through December 15th so, now’s a great time to finish that Christmas shopping. Time is running short…

Today we’ll see what the world of Aran has to help us keep warm this winter…which believe it or not, hasn’t even started yet!! Below are 3 of many available from National Geographic Online!

Women’s Irish Aran Turtleneck Sweater

Available in black, natural or red and at just under $150, this 100% Merino wool sweater is made in Ireland and will certainly keep you warm!

For hundreds of years, women in the rural villages of the Aran Islands off the western coast of Ireland have knit natural wool sweaters for their fisherman kin. Although the myth that you can identify island families by the stiches in their sweater—like a Scottish tartan—isn’t true, every knitter does have her own special patterns, passed down through generations of mothers and grandmothers. At weekly gatherings, they continually invented intricate new stitches.

Women’s Irish Aran Merino Wool Long Cardigan

I like a long sweater – this is a great option. In natural at $159.00.

Stay cozy indoors or out with this thigh-length Aran knit sweater. These iconic symbols of Ireland’s northern Aran Islands are well known for their intricate stitches and symbolism. In this flattering cardigan, the honeycomb stitch symbolizes the hard work of the honeybee and the rewards of an industrious life. The cable stitch stands in for the fishing rope that was so essential to livelihood on the islands. Knit from 100% merino wool, with a button front.

Irish Asymmetrical Cardigan

Here’s a sweater option with a bit of asymmetrical style! In natural or blue – for $149.00.

In a contemporary twist on traditional Irish Aran knitting, this cardigan has an asymmetrical wrap style with a single button that creates a cowl-like neck. The textured wool sweaters of the Aran Islands have become a worldwide symbol of Irish culture. The patchwork of different stitches speaks to the ingenuity of generations of knitters.

A week and a day until the first day of Winter 2013 which starts December 21st – and only TWELVE days left until Christmas. Great news for kids – shop online and those twelve days won’t seem to fly quite so fast for those with long and unfinished gift lists!
