I was reading about that earlier this week and that there are cities with actual laws that say you can do that to hold a spot after you've taken the time to shovel it clear...Ahhh...the things you folks have to think about that we have NO CLUE about here in Houston :o)

Omg! That's crazy. So if you clean it off then it's yours? Weird rules.

LOL!! Un-real! Out here, they would just move the chair or crash it with the car or something!

So, in the City of Pittsburgh, it's actually not a law. The law says no one can reserve a parking space on a public street. However, it's a Pittsburgh tradition called parking chairs - if you shovel it, it's yours! They are all over the place. I have seen a parking stump, and some people have seen parking toilets. This apparently is totally a Pittsburgh phenomenon - the engineer has lived in many places and has never seen this except here!!!!!!

I have never seen this in upstate NY, and we certainly have snow.

"You've got a friend in Pennsylvania" but you may not have a cleared up parking spot!! :) I'm from the PA country, so we just waited until the plows got to our road to go anywhere. haaaaaa

Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not. You may recall my partner was Margot Potter ; click this link to see the blog post I wrote of what she sent me! Here's what I made! Dangly earrings! Come see what the rest of us made! 1.

Another quick post!

I know, I'm on a roll today. Even though I got a late start, I've made beads, made posts, done some scrabble tiles, now I have to fold some laundry and think about dinner. Just wanted to post a photo and link to the ebay auction of mine that started last night - I like the beads, they have a southwest feel and would make a fantastic focal piece in a bracelet, or a whole bracelet too! You can click on them to go to the auction!
