style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O.K. I feel I must confess that when it came to writing this post I was a little stumped. Having&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; been married for 24 years it has been a while since I wrote any love letters. I decided instead to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; watch TV, hence the delay in posting. Flicking through the movie channels I stopped at a movie called "Blue Velvet" and started to watch it (once again). I love this movie for many reasons but mainly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; because it affords me a few glimpses of my home, ( much of it was shot in Wilmington&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; NC) and I am currently in London (UK). Well by the end of the movie I had my inspiration thanks to K&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;etty Lester's fabul&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;ous rendition of the song "Love Lette&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;rs" which is part of the soundtrack. So without further ado here are some of the great desk accessories available to help &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;all of you when you do decide to write a letter (rather than emailing).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/inkpotpenholder-p-125.html?osCsid=e6832e4f16cb232f46da2a30d22e5b62"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ng6jmsRf-YE/SBJYbGxLSAI/AAAAAAAAAEM/IY_BQeLZ02U/s320/Ink+Pot+Pen+Holder.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193310543008188418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I should add that in my opinion letters still work better than emails when writing Love Letters. To help in your writing it is always a benefit if you have some of the following great&lt;a href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/deskaccessories-c-25.html"&gt; writing accessories&lt;/a&gt; to hand:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;If however you are like me and use regular office ball point pens or pencils&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/pencilcup-p-118.html?osCsid=e6832e4f16cb232f46da2a30d22e5b62"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ng6jmsRf-YE/SBJbjmxLSDI/AAAAAAAAAEk/F92QfwRPpFU/s320/Pencil+Cup.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193313987571959858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; then this &lt;a href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/pencilcup-p-118.html?osCsid=e6832e4f16cb232f46da2a30d22e5b62"&gt;Pencil Cup&lt;/a&gt; is a beautiful accessory. I am always scrambling to keep&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; some semblance of order on my desk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; and this accessory gives me the perfect place to store all my various writing instruments.&lt;br /&gt;Because of it's weight I sometimes also use it as a paper weight.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ng6jmsRf-YE/SBB8TmxLRzI/AAAAAAAAACM/mNyxtzpG1k0/s1600-h/Pencil+Cup.jpg"&gt;

Well I had hoped to include this fab video/song in my post but it seems I will have to make a seperate post for it, so please look for it just below this post. If you have not heard or seen this I heartily recommend watching it.

Each And Every Piece Is 100% Unique And Hand-Finished - Each item is carefully sand cast in solid brass and then hand finished with traditional craftsmanship. This employs hand techniques that have been used for centuries. First the metal is poured into the hand made sand mould. After cooling the mould must be destroyed to remove the casting, so that each piece is unique. This gives our brass products a handmade look, not a factory one, reminiscent of the work done in colonial America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For sailors and fishermen and one of my favorites (yes I own one) is the &lt;a href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/sharkkeychainbottleopener-p-288.html?osCsid=a7ef498927a7c8e14728d21d42270694"&gt;Shark Key Chain and &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/sharkkeychainbottleopener-p-288.html?osCsid=a7ef498927a7c8e14728d21d42270694"&gt;Bottle Opener.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/sharkkeychainbottleopener-p-288.html?osCsid=a7ef498927a7c8e14728d21d42270694"&gt;     &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/sharkkeychainbottleopener-p-288.html?osCsid=a7ef498927a7c8e14728d21d42270694"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 147px; height: 147px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ng6jmsRf-YE/R_aEOpK29iI/AAAAAAAAAAM/bx_8R3qC-PU/s400/Shark-and-Key-Chain-%26-Bottle-opener.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185477408068138530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staying with my Nautical theme look for this &lt;a href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/anchorbottleopener-p-284.html?osCsid=a7ef498927a7c8e14728d21d42270694"&gt;Anchor Bottle Opener &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/anchorbottleopener-p-284.html?osCsid=a7ef498927a7c8e14728d21d42270694"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 239px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ng6jmsRf-YE/R_aFz5K29jI/AAAAAAAAAAU/GLChag9VVrY/s320/anchor-bottle-opener.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185479147529893426" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also not shown here is another Nautical bottle opener &lt;a href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/shipswheelbottleopener-p-276.html?osCsid=a7ef498927a7c8e14728d21d42270694"&gt;The Ships Wheel Bottle Opener &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;(Just click on the name to see it)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally one last Nautical Bottle  Opener that always gets admiring comments from my guests (yes I do have one and  no I don't spend all day drinking), is  this &lt;a href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/crabbottleopener-p-271.html?osCsid=a7ef498927a7c8e14728d21d42270694"&gt;Crab  Bottle Opener&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ng6jmsRf-YE/R_aJUZK29kI/AAAAAAAAAAc/zWHpgRVhEtY/s1600-h/Crab-Bottle-opener.jpg"&gt;                                       &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://brasshomedecor.com/catalog/crabbottleopener-p-271.html?osCsid=a7ef498927a7c8e14728d21d42270694"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ng6jmsRf-YE/R_aJUZK29kI/AAAAAAAAAAc/zWHpgRVhEtY/s320/Crab-Bottle-opener.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185483004410525250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that's all for this post. Watch out for some more Nautical Brass posts as well as more general and useful products. Maybe I've been living by the sea too long. One last thought all these items are sold by a company that gives free shipping to residents of USA.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7157702795152401041-6079874709821241994?l=brasshomedecor.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brasshomedecor.blogspot.com/feeds/6079874709821241994/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7157702795152401041&amp;postID=6079874709821241994' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7157702795152401041/posts/default/6079874709821241994'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7157702795152401041/posts/default/6079874709821241994'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brasshomedecor.blogspot.com/2008/04/cheap-and-cheerful-nautical-gift-ideas.html' title='Cheap and Cheerful Nautical Gift Ideas'/><author><name>Gift Ideas and Decorating with Brass</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13078874663677260723</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ng6jmsRf-YE/SrwAx8s86FI/AAAAAAAAAG4/0uIJen3yjVs/S220/CAK-1MySpaceAds.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ng6jmsRf-YE/R_aEOpK29iI/AAAAAAAAAAM/bx_8R3qC-PU/s72-c/Shark-and-Key-Chain-%26-Bottle-opener.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
