A classic history of the Federal Convention at Philadelphia in 1787, the stormy, dramatic session that produced the most enduring of political documents: the Constitution of the United States.
From Catherine Drinker Bowen, noted American biographer and National Book Award winner, comes the canonical account of the Constitutional Convention recommended as "required reading for every American." Looked at straight from the records, the Federal Convention is startlingly fresh and new, and Mrs. Bowen evokes it as if the reader were actually there, mingling with the delegates, hearing their arguments, witnessing a dramatic moment in history.
Here is the fascinating record of the hot, sultry summer months of debate and decision when ideas clashed and tempers flared. Here is the country as it was then, described by contemporaries, by Berkshire farmers in Massachusetts, by Patrick Henry's Kentucky allies, by French and English travelers. Here, too, are the offstage voices--Thomas Jefferson and Tom Paine and John Adams from Europe.
In all, fifty-five men attended; and in spite of the heat, in spite of clashing interests--the big states against the little, the slave states against the anti-slave states--in tension and anxiety that mounted week after week, they wrote out a working plan of government and put their signatures to it.

Display ornaments
Color: Gold
I used two Lolalet stands to display special Christmas ornaments that represent countries I have visited. They look terrific displayed this way! I will purchase more as my travels continue.

I wish it was a little bit taller
Color: Black, Color: Black
I love the way this necklace stand looks. It is visually captivating and has a sculpture-like appearance. I looked at a lot of other necklace stands and didn’t see another that didn’t require pulling one necklace over another to get it off and is visually appealing. There are a lot that do one, but not the other. I do wish it was 1.5” taller or spiraled down at a little bit shorter pace. I have mostly long necklaces and the bottom few hooks won’t be usable. Also, I feel like there could be a bit less space between the hooks which would allow more hooks to be inserted. Overall I think this is great! It is beautiful and generally very useful.

No more tangled necklaces.
Color: Black
I found the necklace stand to be exactly what was needed. It's not to tall or short and can be adjusted with the rods. Great for the price.

Large capacity in a small footprint
Color: Black, Color: Black
I teach jewelry making classes, and I like to have examples set out ahead of time to inspire students, or demonstrate certain techniques they will be learning. The problem is always having enough space for cording, beads, spacers, and work stations, as well as the demo items. This excellent tall necklace stand is helping me solve this space issue, because it is designed to be such an efficient use of vertical space. It comes disassembled, but takes only minutes to assemble. The metal was smooth, and the packaging prevented any scratches in shipping. I was able to hang a dozen (I only doubled up on one space) necklaces in a very small footprint of countertop, each slightly separated, and students could quickly remove each one without any tangling. These are so efficient, and I will order again. They would also be great for a vanity or bath countertop, or on a shelf, for personal jewelry storage.
