OGIO – Prosecco Wine Product Review
"Unquestionably Good Taste"
I know I've said this before, and I'll say it again. I love any opportunity to sample a new wine that I haven't tried before. I like to think that because I'm 1/2 Italian that my love for wine just runs naturally in my blood. For this review, not only was it a wine I hadn't tried before, it was also a whole new brand to me. (They were pretty awesome and not only sent a bottle of OGIO Prosecco, but flip flops with the brand name on them, and a USB drive. How neat!)
"Ogio captures the Italian ideal of unquestionably good taste... from art and design to personal style to treating others with warmth and grace. It is a lifestyle that is seductive, celebratory, and decadent - expressed through the grandest of displays as well as the smallest of gestures. Gli italiani have an inherent sense of beatuy, design, and quality that are the hallmarks of OGIO wines." - OGIO
Anyway, from a few quick polls I know a lot of my readers prefer a sweeter wine, and I'm in the same boat. I'll take a sweet wine (especially a white wine) over a super dry wine any day and figured a sparkling wine might just be the next best thing. So, I decided to sample the Prosecco over the Pinot Grigio and Tuscan Red. I honestly had no idea what to expect this time around. However OGIO's tasting notes led me to believe this would be fantastic. And it WAS! Note the past tense? Yeah... it's all gone.
"This Prosecco is pale light yellow in color with delightfully graceful perlage. The delicate yet complex bouquet offers fruity notes of peach and green apple, followed by hints of acacia and lilac. Fresh and light on the palate, it has a balanced acidity that makes it very food friendly, and rounds out with a long and lingering finish. Best served at 46-50°F. " ~ OGIO
I absolutely LOVED this wine. Although dryer than I typically enjoy, the flavor combinations were just brilliant and it looked absolutely beautiful in my glass. The peach and green apple were very apparent and the floral notes to follow weren't too over done. I felt like I should be on a yacht sipping the Prosecco in my bathing suit with my hair whipping in the wind. It was very light, and refreshing and the perfect compliment to all of my meals I shared with it. The sparkling aspect was just great. It wasn't too much, but it was enough to tickle your nose and enhance your senses. Although recommended as an aperitif (before meal wine), I didn't quite follow the rules. Then again, I rarely follow the rules when it comes to wine.
OGIO's Presecco recently won the Silver Metal in the San Diego International Wine Competition as well as the "Best Paper Label" in the Gold - Style Category and Gold - Form Category at the World Wine Competition BTI this year. They've also won additional awards in 2010 and 2012. You can read more about all of their accolades HERE.
Make sure you check out OGIO online and read about all of their other (what are sure to be) great wines. You can also find OGIO on Facebook and check out their product finder to see if you can find OGIO in a store near you.

Tequila Partida – Blue Agave Tequila Product Review
Up until just a few days ago, I hadn't had tequila in probably a good six years. My last experience wasn't so great. I'm just going to chalk that up to being young and immature and not quite knowing my limits or knowing any better when it came to choosing a quality tequila. Blue Agave? What IS that? Whatever. That's in the past, and I have a new-found appreciation for GOOD tequila. When Tequila Partida offered to send samples of their Añejo, Reposado, and Blanco tequilas I was super pumped. There aren't many things that I get really excited about except maybe good food and good spirits. And being able to review either just puts me over the moon. Oh, AND they sent along a bunch of drink recipes too. Yumm!
" Tequila Partida is the product of an outstanding marriage between traditional tequila making and cutting edge technology. And it's this extraordinary combination that gives each and every sip of Tequila Partida something special, the pure natural essence of blue agave." ~ Tequila Partida
The day I decided to do a little taste testing it reached 85F degrees out. And, since I don't have an ice crusher, or a margarita glass (seriously what the heck??) I had to do a little improvising. I have a friend who mixes her tequila with sherbert. Perfect. I have sherbert in the house. I took a couple of scoops of rainbow sherbert and about 1.5oz of Tequila Partida Reposado, blended them together, sugared the outside and made a make-shift margarita. Obviously it doesn't do the Tequila Partida justice, but oh my gosh. It went down SO smooth. I told my husband that it was like liquid crack candy. I immediately made myself another one using the Tequila Partida Añejo. JUST as smooth and delicious. I made sure to take a few small sips of each before using them in the improvised margarita to get a feel of the tequila on its own. I have to say it is the smoothest tequila I've ever had, and it has a great flavor!
- PARTIDA REPOSADO TEQUILA - 40% Alcohol
"Looking for the richest and smoothest tequila? Experience Partida's signature touch of sweetness in Partida Reposado. This aged Tequila delivers subtle flavors that Tequila drinkers may have not thought possible. Free of the overbearing smoky flavor common to most Reposados, this Tequila is in a class by itself."
- PARTIDA AÑEJO TEQUILA - 40% Alcohol
"Partida Añejo, aged in American oak one-pass Jack Daniels barrels, reveals an intense flavor that can only come from advanced aging."
- PARTIDA BLANCO TEQUILA - 40% Alcohol
"With its distinctive scents of blue agave, Partida Blanco Tequila is as brilliant as the Mexican sunshine. Boasting a soft floral aroma and blended perfectly with hints of citrus, fresh herbs and tropical fruit, this crisp tasting premium Tequila lingers on your palate, leaving it feeling clean and fresh. This invigorating, high-quality Blanco is an original and nothing short of remarkable."
Like I mentioned previously, Tequila Partida also sent along what appeared to be some fantastic drink recipes in their Cocktail Guide, but the one that REALLY caught my eye (mostly because I could easily get the ingredients without spending an arm and a leg) was the Café Pacifico made with Tequila Partida's Blanco.
Café Pacifico:
- 1 1/2oz Partida Blanco
- ½ oz Coffee liqueur
- 4oz Freshly Brewed Hot Coffee
- 3 Barspoons Cinnamon & Sugar Mix
- Heavy Cream.
Prepare small warm wine glass. Add Tequila & Coffee. Mix in the Cinnamon Sugar.
Float Heavy Cream on top of the coffee.Garnish with a Sprinkle of Cinnamon Sugar mix
on top & a Cinnamon stick.
Note: The Cinnamon sugar mix is 4 parts granulated white sugar to 1 part ground
cinnamon. Mix them together in a bowl.
Looks delicious, right?! Tequila and coffee - who knew? (I'd love to be a fly on the wall when people come up with these cocktail recipes.)
Make sure you follow Tequila Partida on Facebook and Twitter! For more Tequila Partida recipes, make sure you head over to their Entertainment Tab on their website too. There are even recipe cards that you can download in PDF format. Awesome!

Exclusiv 6 – Rose Raspberry Vodka with Moscato Wine Product Review
Exclusiv Vodka contacted me recently asking if I'd like a chance to sample their new Exclusiv 6 Rosé Raspberry flavored Vodka with Moscato Rose Wine. And I said that I wasn't interested. Just kidding. I said YES! I loved sampling their Exclusiv 1 and their Moscato Rose Wine. Why in the world would I turn this opportunity down? They just combined two of my favorite things, wine and vodka. I also had the perfect idea for a drink already lined up in my head before it showed up at my doorstep. (The drink probably already exists by another name, but since I don't go out to bars... ever, we're just going to pretend this was my own concoction.) Needless to say this didn't last long. Yummm.
I don't know about you, but when I open up a new bottle of flavored vodka, or any flavored drink really, I give it a good sniff test. As far as I know vodka really shouldn't have much of a scent, so that strong smell of alcohol shouldn't be there. The only thing I want to smell in a flavored vodka drink, is the flavor of the drink.
I get a little giddy when packages like this arrive, so the first thing I did was unbox it, admire the beautiful rose coloring, unscrew the cap, smell it, and then pour myself a drink. I thought at first it might have been a little harsher of a vodka than I normally like, but my senses must have been in over drive due to the excitement. Once a mixer is combined with the vodka, this tastes AMAZING. I haven't quite decided on a name yet for this drink yet that I like to make. When I use fruit punch vodka it becomes the "Oh Yeah!". (Get it?) This might need to be called "Raspberry Wings" or something along those lines. What do you think? Anyway, that's what I'm going to stick with for now.
Raspberry Wings:
- 2 Parts Excusiv Rosé
- 2 Parts Red Bull
- 2 Parts Cranberry Juice
What I really love in a drink is something that is sweet and goes down like candy, but after 2 or 3 will really knock you on your tushy. This is definitely one of those mixed drinks that you won't realize the vodka in it is 64 proof. It goes down SMOOTH. And this particular drink ends up tasting like a loaded cranberry juice cocktail.
Exclusiv Vodka is handcrafted and imported from Maldova. The Exclusiv 6 Rose Vodka combines their raspberry vodka and their Moscato Rose wine so you get that great sweet wine flavor as part of the after taste along with that gorgeous pink/red color.
Exclusiv also has regular vodka, lemon, peach, orange, berry, and coconut! (And you can't forget about their Moscato Rose Wine.) The best part, is that this brand is really affordable. You're looking at about $10 per bottle. Don't let the affordability of the product fool you. Exclusiv has received 9 coveted international awards. Niiiiice!
Make sure you find Exlusiv on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date with information, fun pictures, and more! If you're looking to purchase it, check out their Store Locator.

California Wine Club – Premier Club & Wine Review + Giveaway
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to try out my first shipment of wine from California Wine Club's Premier Club. It was such a fun experience trying out new wines from California wineries that I had never heard of before. And, while they weren't my most absolute favorites (mainly because I enjoy sweet wines over dry wines), they were still, in my opinion, of good quality and were definitely tasty.
Recently I received my second shipment of wine from California Wine Club's Premier Club. This time I was sent a 2011 Santa Barbara County, White Hills Vineyard Chenin Blanc from the Daniel Gehrs Winery, and a Daniel Gehrs 2009 Central Coast Merlot.
"Our most popular club features two bottles of award-winning wine from California's best "mom & pop" wineries. No membership fees, cancel anytime and all wines are 100% guaranteed." ~ California Wine Club (www.cawineclub.com)
The term "club" tends to make me a bit iffy in general. In my past experience with various other clubs, the monthly fees are always what keep me away. That, and the fact that canceling usually ends up to be a bigger pain in the tuchus than it needs to be. The California Wine Club takes the guesswork out of wine shopping by "vetting" in the wines that they chose. They're all tested and approved for the club, so you know you're getting something good. And, each bottle is guaranteed. They have a variety of options that allow you to customize your monthly selections to better suit your taste. For example, their Premier Club allows you to choose between two whites, two reds, or a red and a white. And if wine isn't something you consume too often, meaning two bottles of wine monthly is too much, you can set up your shipments to arrive every other month, or even quarterly.
Chenin Blanc: Aromas of plums, wild flowers and clover honey lead to a fruity palate of ripe Barlett pear and melon flavors. The finish is crisp and zesty.
Once again, the white wine that California Wine Club chose to send was definitely my favorite in comparison to the red that was sent. However, I thought the wine stayed true to its description. It was definitely a zestier wine, and I personally thought I could taste more of the pear and honey. I think it would have been fantastic with an Asian type of salad, or a light tasting fish.
Merlot: Dustiness, tanned leather and earthiness add complexity to the lush signature black cherry fruit. Tannins are smooth, lending backbone and a long finish.
The Merlot, as far as a dryer red wine goes was still good, and a great choice, especially for delivery nearing the holidays. Christmas reminds me of pastries, chocolate, hearty food, good drinks, and great friends. The Daniel Gehrs Merlot would be a wonderful choice for a Christmas Eve dinner, or just sitting around by the fire with good friends. Admittedly I haven't tried several Merlots, but from what I have tried, this was by far my favorite.
I loved that I didn't have to worry about selecting what to purchase, and now I know which wines/varieties I would try again, and which ones I wouldn't. I also really enjoyed being introduced to a new winery. I just adore learning about new "mom and pop" businesses, and this one seems to be top notch. And, the fact that The California Wine Club brings wines to many people who can't always find these wines in their local stores while giving California wineries some exposure is just fantastic bonus. I do think that outside of this review, I probably would have chosen two white wines instead of one of each from The California Wine Club (which is fine, because that IS an option for club members).
The California Wine Club also makes for a great gift idea! We all know the holidays are closing in, and let's face it, we don't always have time to run out to the stores and grab the "perfect" gift for our loved ones. However, for any wine connoisseurs this is the perfect present. You can buy 1 month all the way up to 12 months if you're feeling generous!
Make sure you check out The California Wine Club on Facebook and Twitter!

The California Wine Club – Premier Club & Wine Review + Giveaway
One thing I always struggle with is finding new wines. I have a handful of my trusty old-faithfuls that I know I can go to in a pinch. However, there's nothing I like better than getting to try out something new. The only problem, is that I'm a bit indecisive with so many options, and I tend to pick a wine based on the design of the label. I'm beginning to find that while I have great success choosing my books that way, I end up disappointed more often than not when trying to choose a new wine that way. This is exactly why I think wine clubs are so great. They already know what's good, and all you do is sit back, and let the choices get made for you, and then delivered to your doorstep.

For this month's California Wine Club Shipment I received The Seven Brothers 2009 Tempranillo (red), and The Seven Brothers 2009 Sauvignon Blanc from the Robledo Family Winery. Now, the thing about a wine club is that you need to enjoy surprises and be up for the unknown. When I purchase wine myself from local stores, I tend to stick with the sweeter wines. I'm usually a Moscato fan, or a good Lambrusco-esque type person. So, I was a bit timid to try these two wines out.
Sauvignon Blanc: Grapefruit and herbal notes turn to melon and ripe passion fruit on the mid-palate. Aromas of honeysuckle and mango. Concentrated with green tea and citrus. Rich and complex with a tang of lemongrass. ~ Robledo
Not surprisingly, the Sauvignon Blanc was my favorite out of the two wines, and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it being a little dryer than what I usually prefer. I was prepared to mix the wine with a Sprite or 7up. (I know, way to ruin the wine, right?) However, I didn't have to, and in the end really loved the bottle. The fruity notes rang through loud and clear, but weren't overpowering, and were on the verge of refreshing. Definitely a wine I would purchase again, and one I think would make for a great gift if you aren't sure whether the receiver of the gift prefers sweet or dry.
Tempranillo: This wine has a bright ruby color with heavy aromas of cranberry, blackberry, cinnamon, spice and toasted oak. The flavors of dried black fruit, toasted cedar and tobacco mingle with great acidity and strong tannins to produce a long, rich finish. ~ Robledo
Only because of personal tastes, the Tempranillo was borderline line for me. It was much richer in flavor, and had less of the sweetness that I usually prefer. Unlike the Sauvignon Blanc being in the middle, this was definitely on the dry side. The finish remained longer (which I hear is a sign of a good quality wine), however it was just too "earthy" for me. Still a good wine, and after a glass or two I was well enough acclimated to it to be able to better enjoy it. It's just not one I would purchase on my own again, and if I were to gift it I would need to make sure of the tastes of receiver.
I wasn't disappointed in the choices at all. I loved that I didn't have to worry about selecting what to purchase, and now I know which wines/varieties I would try again, and which ones I wouldn't. I also really enjoyed being introduced to a new winery. I just adore learning about new "mom and pop" businesses, and this one seems to be top notch.

Mommy's Time Out – Garganega Moscato Wine Product Review
Call me a bad mommy, but at the end of a 12 hour day with my kiddlets, I'm fried, fed up, and ready to go just sit in a corner somewhere I can find some peace and quiet. Don't get me wrong, I love my monsters. But, after a full day of toys being launched across the living room, potty training accidents, diaper changes, food being fed to the dogs instead of consumed by the kids, temper tantrums, screaming (from joy and excitement), and trying to make sure my house doesn't look like a hurricane hit (key word being "trying"), I am D-O-N-E. Catch my drift?
I have already dubbed any wine I bring into the house my "Mommy Juice", and apparently I'm not the only one who relates a relaxing bottle of wine to the tiring, stressful woes of mommy-hood. There is an actual brand of wine called Mommy's Time Out! Oh yeah, the name alone just tickled me to pieces, and I was SO thrilled they offered the opportunity to try out a bottle for myself. Thankfully, my husband doesn't drink wine, and even if he did I doubt I'd be sharing any. Maybe I'd let him like the cork. (That's the same thing as licking batter off of the beaters, right?) Anywho, Mommy's Time Out carries three varieties of wine: Garganega Pino Grigio, Rosso Primitivo, and Garganega Moscato. I mentioned that I knew a lot of my readers preferred a sweet wine, along with myself, and they sent the Garganega Moscato. Yummm - Moscato is my favorite!
"We all know that being a Mommy is a difficult job. A Mommy's Time Out is a well deserved break. These wines are delicate and fruity. They come from some of the finest vineyards in Italy where the best grapes are finified, resulting in a long lasting finish. They are a great complement to food, or may be served as an aperitif." ~Mommy's Time Out
The bottle arrived in a nice satin-type blue bag, and a cute little note saying, "A Mommy's Time Out is a well Deserved Break". <--- That's my new mantra BTW. Truth be told, the bottle of Mommy's Time Out Moscato arrived RIGHT when I was about ready to start having my own meltdown. I opened it up, and put myself in time out in the kitchen. Ahhhh. Needless to say, with only a 9% Alcohol by Volume rate, the bottle was emptied before I took a picture. Oops. At least that means it was really good. And I mean REALLY good!
Most moscatos that I drink on a regular basis, while tasty, don't have that "oomph" I generally associate with a great wine. I had read somewhere that the longer the flavor of the wine lingers on your palate, the higher quality the wine is. The Mommy's Time Out was definitely a fruity wine, and something that I could see pairing with a lighter lunch or dinner. I'm thinking leafy salads with vinaigrette dressing, and maybe a white fish of sorts. However, alone it is still a fantastic drink!
Mommy's Time Out wines have a suggested retail value of only $9.99! I love that a great quality wine is also affordable. Mommy's Time Out Moscato hails from the region of Delle Venezie, Italy and is made with Garganega & Moscato grapes. Truly a great grape combination in my opinion, and everything about this wine, especially the well balanced sweet robustness, quickly bumped it up to the top of my favorites list. Thank you Mommy's Time Out for MY time out!

Daily's Cocktails – Original Frozen Pouches Product Review
Unfortunately, I don't generally have the chance to indulge in a good frozen drink. I don't own a machine that will easily chop the ice as finely as I'd need it, and I'm certainly not planning on going after dozens of ice cubes with a hammer. Then, throw in the fact that you have to buy the alcohol as well as the drink mix, and I say give me a box of wine instead. Between the inconvenience of having to make the drink and shelling out big bucks, (or buy one in a restaurant/bar at a hugely inflated price), it's just not worth it. And, even though I may drink more than I should, I'm certainly not going to consume an entire pitcher of frozen, alcoholic goodness. (Not saying I wouldn't want to though.)
Lucky for those of you who are in the same boat as I am, Daily's Cocktails has clearly thought this all through, and offers small, personal size, pre-made/mixed frozen drink pouches! And, the best part is that many grocery stores, including Walmart carries them. I have heard that some states can only find the in liquor stores due to certain laws, but (holla) I don't live in one of those states. I picked up four pouches at my local WalMart with the $10 gift card Daily's sent for the purpose of this review. I decided to go with (original) Margarita, Strawberry Daiquiri, Peach Daiquiri, and Pomegranate Acai Margarita. They sound absolutely delicious, don't you think?? Just pop the pouches in your freezer for 8 hours and they're ready to serve! In addition to the flavors I picked up, Daily's also has Pina Colada, Lemonade, Light Strawberry Daiquiri, and have brought out Fall flavors to include Hard Cider and Spiced Sangria. Yummmm!
"...[W]e stand by our roots when it comes to the important things like offering our consumers the best available products that use real ingredients and natural fruit flavors. All Daily's Cocktails & Mixers are made with the freshest, real fruit ingredients available - succulent strawberries, luscious lemons, creamy coconuts, and so much more." ~ Daily's Cocktails
I have to say I was a little skeptical. I enjoy my drinks rather strong, and generally anything you pick up pre-made in a store tends to suffer in quality and flavor. I kind of expected the drinks to taste watery, weak, and nothing like a homemade or bar-made cocktail. I was also a little concerned about the quantity each pouch would deliver. However, across the board I was wrong. The drinks tasted fresh, full of flavor, and yielded a good size drink to two smaller ones. Can you believe it? Considering these only cost around $1.75 to $3.00ish (depending on your store and your location), you're getting a convenient, delicious treat at a fraction of the cost. I think the pouches I picked up were close to about $2.00 and some odd. That means, depending on the size of the glass I used, I was getting each drink for $1 to $2!
Overall, I don't think you can beat the quality for this price. I'm truly impressed and will definitely be purchasing more! Make sure you check out Daily's Cocktails online for additional Daily's product information. They don't just sell these frozen pouches. They also have Single Serve Bottles, Cocktails in a Box, and 1 Liter Pre-Mixed Cocktails. They also have some fantastic cocktail recipes on their site, updates on new promotions, and a store locator so you can find the nearest place that carries these delicious items.
You can also find Daily's Cocktails on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. If you want news sent directly to your inbox, make sure you sign up for their Newsletter too.
Daily's Cocktails is also offering a giveaway! THREE DealPeddler readers, who are ages 21+, will receive a Daily's insulated lunch tote. Giveaway will start today and run for approximately 1 week. Once the giveaway is live you'll be able to enter [HERE].

Exclusiv – Vodka & Rose Moscato Wine Product Review
For anyone who enjoys a good drink every now and again, I'm sure you're all aware that a good drink can cost quite the pretty penny. And, if you're willing to go for the "cheap stuff", the quality tends to suffer. You know what I'm talking about. That 5th of quality liquor is probably going to cost you $20 or more... WAY more. Exlusiv however is both quality and affordable. You're looking at spending about $10 for a bottle of their Exlusiv Vodka.
Now, I'm not a big vodka drinker, mainly because I can't really afford it and the cheap stuff is definitely cheap. That nasty taste of poor quality vodka is just too much for me to want to handle. So, with the promise of great quality, and affordability, I could not wait to try out Exlusiv Vodka. With that being said, Exlusiv's vodka (in my humble opinion) is definitely a winner. The taste is smooth and doesn't have that weird strong aftertaste. The bottle of Exlusiv I received didn't last very long needless to say. Many times I have to over-mix a drink if the taste of the alcohol is awful. You know... 1 part booze to 10 parts something else. Not this time! This could have even been consumed on its own.
"From the gently rolling wheat fields of Moldova, near the shores of the Black Sea, comes an exciting new vodka steeped in Russian tradition begun centuries ago. A spirit so exclusive in taste we had to name it Exclusiv. Exclusiv evokes images of icy mountain peaks and crystal clear streams. It brings to mind expressions like clean, fresh and crisp. The best and truest description we can offer is… Perfect." ~ Exclusiv
Exlusiv has also won numerous awards, including the gold medal award in 2010 from the Beverage Tasting Institute, the Double Gold Award in 2012 from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and named the "2011 Best Value Vodka $10 and Under".
Exlusiv also sent a bottle of their new Exlusiv Rose Moscato. If you read my other wine review you'll remember that I have a great sweet wine, and even more a great moscato. The Exlusiv Rose Moscato is a gorgeous pink/light red color. (Hey - a good color matters regardless of how quickly it is consumed.) It looks lighter on their website than it does in person. This particular moscato is a great sweet, fruity blend of flavors. It's slightly more bubbly than I usually prefer, but if you're going for a sparkling beverage, this is a good one to try. Make sure it is CHILLED though. It definitely gets better when refrigerated.
This is also another great value. Admittedly I don't usually spend more than $6 for a bottle of wine, but even Exclusiv's Rose Moscato is only priced at $9.99, which is definitely an affordable price.
"Sparkling and sweet, Rose Moscato by Exclusiv is refreshing with a light, all-natural taste. Designed to enjoy with good food and good company, Rose Moscato brings forth an ancient Moldovan tradition of good eating, good drinking, good health, and happiness. Rose Moscato wine is cultivated from the Muscat grape, the only grape to produce wine with the same sweet aroma as the grape itself. The Muscat grape gives Rose Moscato wine a sweet and rich aroma of dried fruits, raisins and oranges." ~ Exclusiv
Unfortunately Exlusiv Rose Moscato is only available in select states as of right now, but they'll be branching out more in the near future.
Overall, Exclusiv products are a really great value for the price. $10 per bottle of their wine or vodka is a steal!
Make sure you find Exlusiv on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date with information, fun pictures, and more!

Etching Expressions – Personalized Etched Wine Bottle Product Review
If you were to describe me as a sentimental person the people who know me would probably laugh you right out of town. I'm not the type of person to save cards or ticket stubs. I'm not a fabulous scrapbooker. In fact, I don't even think I have any printed photos of my children except for the ones taken in a studio. However, with my wedding anniversary coming up I knew I wanted something that was a little special that I could keep and look back on with fond memories and yes... a little bit of sentiment.
I admit, three years of marriage isn't that big of a milestone in the grand scheme of things since just about every set of wedding vows includes, "'Till death do us part." However in my short three years of marriage I've had two beautiful children, started grad school, and started my website. These three years are something I really wanted to celebrate. So, I contacted Etching Expressions. (When I did I hadn't realized how soon my anniversary was.) Etching Expressions asked if I had any special occasions coming up, and what I would like the etched wine bottle to have on it. I told them my anniversary was coming up, gave them my name and my husband's name, and left the rest up to them. I was figuring it would just be a pretty bottle, but the wine was going to be the highlight.
When the Etching Expressions wine bottle arrived I knew it would be beautiful because I was emailed a photo of it before it was sent through the mail which you can view on the right. However, when I opened the box I literally teared up. It was absolutely stunning and it perfectly captured my personality and my husband's personality. It was simple, elegant, and really just perfect. If I had been given this as a gift it would have meant just as much if not more. The etching was clean (no rough edges), and the coloring was very neat and stayed within the etched portion of the bottle. This is one bottle of wine I am not opening! This is one product I have managed to attach myself to for sentimental reasons. It will be displayed proudly in my home as a beautiful piece of art, but also as a reminder of my first three years of marriage and all of the successes and hardships that brought my husband and I closer together.
Etching Expressions can make any occasion special; weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Not only do they etch the bottles of their own private label wines, but they also etch liquor bottles, and champagne bottles. Etching not quite your thing? They also provide personalized label options as well, corporate gifts, and accessories.
You choose the color, the message, and the design! Etching Expressions has artists that are fully capable of transferring a priceless photograph to one of their bottles. The sky is truly the limit with these special gifts!
Etching Expressions would love for you to find them on Facebook and Twitter! Why? Because Etching Expressions is giving away a $100 Gift Certificate to one DealPeddler reader! The gift certificate will cover up to one of their basic private label wine/champagne bottle etchings in mono color ($65) or full color ($75) and shipping. If you go with the single color you can even add their $11 wooden wine box in! Giveaway will start 6/30 and run for approximately 1 week. You must be 21+ to enter and a legal resident of the USA.

Hidden Maine Treasures – Dragonfly Farm & Winery LLC Stetson, ME
My husband completely surprised me last weekend on our 3rd wedding anniversary. I had gone out to run errands earlier that morning thinking we'd just have a normal Saturday of nothing. When I came home he handed me a card that said we had some place to be by 3pm. We usually don't have a lot of money to do anything really fun, however I guess he heard me say I'd like to visit a winery some day. Silly me had assumed that wineries don't exist in Maine. I mean, com'on, we're known for snow, black flies, and our numerous lakes and rivers. Oh, and I can't forget our moose. I never in a million years would have thought we have an actual winery in our state.
Guess what? They DO exist in Maine! And, we happened to have a gorgeous one only 20 miles or so away from where we live. I can't begin to explain my excitement when we pulled up to this beautiful yellow house with a sign that read "Dragonfly Winery" on it. "Are you serious?! You're taking me to a winery? Wait. We have wineries in Maine?!"He just looked at me and smiled knowing full well he nit the nail on the head with this little outing.
The Dragonfly Farm & Winery LLC is located in Stetson, Maine 100% owned and run by the Nadeau family - way out in the middle of nowhere. When you pull up to their small driveway it really doesn't look like much; a few buildings, a few grape vines, some bushes, and a lot of land. I think "quaint" may be the best word to describe it. It certainly wasn't the ginormous California vineyards I had always imagined any winery would look like. My husband thought the "Gift Shop" sign was pointing down a little winding trail so we explored there first. We ended up at a building that was definitely not the gift shop we were looking for. So, back up the trail we went. We were warmly greeted by Todd. Nadeau who promptly took us on a tour of their vineyard/farm.
The Nadeau vineyard boasted several varieties of grapes, including a variety only THEY had. And yes, I mean they are the only ones in the entire world that have this particular variety of grape. I wish I could remember what it was called. I guess I was slacking on my journalism skills because I didn't bring anything to write with! I suppose that's what happens when something like this is completely sprung on you. ;) I did happen to have my camera though! They also grow several fruits too that they use to make their fruit wines with. I really enjoyed getting to taste the wine right out of the fermenting barrels. I had never had the opportunity to taste wine that wasn't quite done yet. Todd Nadeau asked if I'd be able to finish the little bit he gave me, and I said, "Of course! I'll finish anything you throw my way!"
The Dragonfly Farm & Winery started out as a small dream his family had, and they grew it into what it is today; a vibrant, successful winery that produces some of the most delicious sweet wines I have ever tasted. You may know that I'm a huge fan of sweet wine so this was the perfect winery to visit! They have a total of 7 varieties of white wine, 6 varieties of red wine, and 8 varieties of fruit wine. However, what is in stock depends on the season. After the tour I had the amazing opportunity to taste 9 of their wines ranging from whites, and reds, to blueberry, strawberry, and cranberry. Yumm! The names included: Clarity, Serendipity, Candle Waster, Blueberry Bliss, Blue Lightening, Raspberry Riot, St. Pepin, and Jelly Juice... now that I count I guess I'm missing one.
Of course I had some favorites and boy did I stock up! I came home with 2 bottles of "Clarity", 2 bottles of "Serendipity", and 2 bottles of their "Candle Waster" Cranberry wine. Jelly Juice was another favorite however I didn't purchase that one. Todd & Treena Nadeau are both members of the United States Air Force, so they consider their winery as a part time hobby. I can't believe it. It seems like so much work, and even more waiting, but WOW do they do a fabulous job with it! When it came time to ring up our (I mean MY) purchase, they were beyond generous and threw in an extra bottle as an anniversary gift, and they gave us the "anniversary discount" of $1 off each bottle. In addition, if you have ANY military affiliate (yourself, cousins, aunts, uncles, employees) they give a "military discount" of $1 off each bottle you purchase. Their wines are VERY affordable too. Every bottle is only $13. I walked out of this beautiful place happier knowing I had a wonderful opportunity to meet the Nadeau family, uplifted by the beauty of their farm, and completely satisfied that I purchased some of the best wine I have ever had while simultaneously supporting a local business.
Dragonfly Farm & Winery isn't just all about wine. They also make Maple Syrups. Have you ever had REAL Maple Syrup? You don't know what you're missing by choosing Aunt Jemima over the real stuff. The Nadeau's make their maple syrup in the traditional French Canadian way. I'm not 100% sure what that means exactly since I wasn't there for the syrup, but homemade natural syrup is always a winner.
If you're ever in Maine, make sure you check out the Dragonfly Farm & Winery in Stetson, Maine. You won't be disappointed, and you'll truly get to see one of Maine's Hidden Treasures, and you'll meet some of the friendliest people! It's a win win all around.
*This post is not sponsored. I do want to thank my wonderful husband for taking me on the best little outing I could have dreamed of!

How does your school use signs to establish boundaries? What do these signs say about our students (and us)?
When I was at Amherst College last summer for a NEH seminar, I was impressed when our tour guide told us "it's okay to eat in the library!" I could tell by the look on our guide's face that this was the desired response. The absence of signs in a library told us "look how progressive we are!" and gave the library's occupants (us) a sense of our own privilege.
Then I thought more deeply.
The library could exist sans "no" signs because all of us WASPs had already internalized that "no" sign. We could "eat in the library" but it was implied that we shouldn't get our disgusting mustard all over the nice chairs and computer screens. In other words, the library didn't need a sign because it could trust that we've already been trained to live the "no" sign. What's troubling is that the library's inhabitants, like me in that moment, got to feel very enlightened. "We're free from rules and constraints!" we could think to ourselves.
I thought about this later as I diligently wiped up the crumbs left by a muffin.
Here's a question: Does the "no" sign cease to exist simply because it's not present in a room? And is a positively-worded "no" sign an alternative to a sign that contains a short, declarative "no"?
How positively-worded signs benefit us: We get compliance, and feel progressive to boot.
How positively-worded signs could backfire: Some students might these signs as an example of adult manipulation. Because they are manipulative. The doublespeak is there to help establish boundaries and to enforce (or "invite") compliance with rules. We may write them in a positive way because we know that students are more likely to listen to them and do what we want them to do.
Problems with short, declarative "no" signs: They assume that students haven't already internalized the rule stated on the sign. Students may react negatively to them, or view them as disrespectful.
The problem with an absence of signs: Some students may need a reminder of boundaries. And schools, teachers, and librarians do have a right to boundaries (i.e., a librarian preparing a lesson on media literacy shouldn't have to be the eternal crumb wiper-upper). Students who enjoy an absence of (explicit, on-the-wall) signs may operate under the illusion that they're more free.
Perhaps the content of the sign should be determined by its purpose. If it's there to enforce compliance, then positive signs are likely the way to go. If the purpose is to maximize freedom or to achieve some higher, moral end, then I don't have an answer for you.

Well this week has been slower, but no less exciting. We painted the ceilings after taking off the popcorn last week. I thought on that day I would be able to pick paint colors, but that was never going to happen. Home Depot must know my husband and I by now because we have been there everyday it seems like since we started working. I had the guy in lighting say "You guys are still here!" No it was just our second trip in one day. Now we make a point to say hello to him. Anyway back to paint. We are living with multiple samples on the walls and I just can not decide. Adam cannot understand how I pick and plan other projects, but can not decide for ours. The struggle is real! I just cannot decide! I am fine with it because I really do not remember what we have. I need our furniture! It has been eleven months of having 80% of our furniture and décor in boxes at family members houses. Ok I am getting off my soapbox, back to the house. We now have floors.
They started on day 11 and finished in 3 days. Adam really wanted to put them in himself, but decided against it when he realize how fast it could be done. Either way I would have been happy. They are beautiful!! We did not want them to be to dark, but still wanted warm colors so this is what we picked. They are Shaw laminate flooring called Degu in the color Logger. Did I say I love them! It completely changed the way the house looks. We shopped around a little and decided that we wanted a local company to install them. We went with Glendora Floor Store located in Downtown Glendora. Everyone we working with there was so helpful and knowledgeable. They new we wanted to move quickly and made it happen. A big THANK YOU to Jerry and the team.
I have no idea what we will be working on next week but come back and see.

Note: It is normal for the MellowBell to "shed" bristles over the first few weeks of use. This will warm up the sound even further. Take care when storing the stick as the hammered end is delicate.
You can think of the MellowBell as a Tipper that has the swish of a brush, but gets a very pure and bassy sound out of the drum. This is a great stick for sensitive accompaniment, and it's also a really good stick for lower volume practicing. At around 32 grams, the MellowBell is an ideal stick for warming up before a gig, and its overall lower volume is really good if I'm backstage and want to get in some playing time without driving the other musicians crazy. Mic-ed up, this Tipper is fantastic for playing bass-lines and slower groove-based ideas.
About the BellRods
The BellRods are my signature series of Bodhrán Tippers, designed by me, and made by Stevie Moises of Drechslerei-Moises in Bavaria. All four tippers in the BellRod family are 26cm, or 10.2 inches long. I find that this is the ideal length for me to be able to play single or double-ended styles and to get the combination of power and control that I need.
All of the BellRods feature a unique cushioned rubber grip which is placed at the upper third of the tipper, leaving just over an inch of the tipper above the top of the grip. I worked with Stevie to develop a cushioned grip that was comfortable to play and had just enough tackiness that it wouldn't slip out of my hand. This grip placement works for single or double ended playing, and works perfectly for the baby grip that I use, or a more traditional tipper grip. The cushioned grip itself is six inches long, so you can hold the tipper toward the very top, or closer to its midpoint depending on your style of playing.
Each model of BellRod is constructed of combinations of bamboo, beech, or walnut rods in different configurations, giving each model a different sound, but a similar enough feel that you can switch between models without having to adjust your playing style.
The TriBell, NutBell, and BambooBell all feature a triangular shape, and are light and fast, weighing between 22 and 24 grams. All three have a similar feel to a straight stick, but most definitely have the sound of a rod tipper, which was the idea behind this series. The JazzBell has a more rounded grip because of its 33 rods, and has a nice, thicker feel in the handle.
All of the BellRod models have different colors of handles in order to be easily identified in your tipper bag or bodhrán case.
BellRods feature either two or three rubber O-rings below the handle, giving you the ability to tailor the feel and sound of the tipper to your individual preference.
I have always loved playing the bodhrán with rod-style tippers, but I hadn't been able to find one that perfectly fit my style, and sounded great on synthetic or natural heads. So naturally, Stevie and I came up with four that fit the bill! I hope you enjoy playing the BellRods as much as we enjoyed designing them!

Failing to Love Generously
I walked into Wholefoods this evening – I get a cup of drip coffee, some organic gummy bears, and a cheese stick for later. I think about how I love this place – how it services my love for great, quality food and appeals to our societies ever growing attempt to stay healthy as the volume of processed, unnatural food increases around us.
I find a table near the coffee stand, pull out my laptop and begin to work. I'm waiting until it's time to drive to the park down the street where I'll meet my run club and work with a coach that I paid. I almost thought nothing of this scenario…
And then in walks a homeless man. He sits down at a table nearby. I don't notice – so I'm just making the assumption this is how it happened. I do notice, however, when a lady at a nearby table (maybe speaking with family), leans over and talks to him. I don't know what she said. But the man left and, after a few minutes, came back with a container of chocolate milk. The women and man walk over to the coffee stand, and she purchases the milk for him. They both return to their respective tables and go back to their own lives.
Now this man has my attention. He wears a pair of white new balances, worn light blue jeans, a t-shirt, and an unzipped winter coat soaked half way up to the waste from what I assume was from today's downpour. His hair – dark brown dusted with strands of gray. A beard. And two sad eyes – eyes that reflect pain. He sits here alone in Wholefoods, drinking his chocolate milk, and catching a moment of warmth from the chilled, damp air. For a moment I think he's about to break into tears.
For a moment I think about how I should talk to this man. But what would we talk about? What kind of looks would I get? I wonder if he feels like no one sees him. I sit there wishing I could help – could I offer him a place to stay for the night? What do I have on me.. in my backpack…that might relieve a little of his discomfort from the weather. I wish I could say I did something… but I didn't. He walks out the door shortly after.
For just a moment I had a chance – and I sat there – questioning what I had to offer. Honestly, I was probably more questioning what I would look like if I moved from my laptop in a cozy corner and sat down with this man. I prioritized my potential of ruining my appearance over this mans physical and emotional discomfort that he lives day in and day out. And now I write.
And I'm not entirely sure why – except that I feel sad (and a little mad at myself). This isn't a one-time scenario. I pass tons of people lacking a home every single day. And take no action. I wish I could say I did – but here it is. I don't.
We are a city full of sad, lonely, cold people. And today I had a realization that it's not ok for me to sit here and not live out my calling – to love generously. Loving generously does not mean loving when it's convenient and comfortable. Loving generously means to love unconditionally in all scenarios. To put myself aside and give what I have at that moment. Whether it's a listening ear, patience, a bottle of water, etc. Sometimes I don't know what I have to give. But I'm going to show up.
That's my commitment. When that gentle nudge that I call God pushes me to step forward… I'm going to. I'm really nervous to put this out there. I believe and know that when I commit to something like this, God will provide me the opportunities, no matter how uncomfortable they are. And I will have to make a choice – to take action on my commitment or to, again, sit to the side and prioritize my comfort.
If you feel called to join me in this commitment to love the invisible generously, I invite you to join me! I'm anticipating on failing a few times and feeling uncomfortable… but I hope that as I learn to love more generously, you can too.

Los Angeles is not all mini-malls and highways. As Mayor Eric Garcetti shows, it is eminently possible to live green in the City of Angels. By putting solar power and recycled materials to use, he and his partner transformed a mid-century house on a cozy hillside plot into a sustainable home with garden terraces and panoramic views. Garcetti's old Toyota Rav4-EV sits in front of the house, awaiting its next electric fill-up. Photo by Misha Gravenor.
For a renovation located in Glebe—an inner-city suburb of Sydney, Australia—Carterwilliamson Architects took an environmentally friendly tack. "We believe that 'fit' buildings, buildings that are not big, but 'big enough' and flexible enough to accommodate changing lifestyles and that minimize spatial, material, and energy wastage are one of the biggest contributions we as architects can make towards a more sustainable future," says firm principal Shaun Carter. To that end, they repurposed an existing structure, relying on passive heating and cooling principles and natural daylight to guide the project. Photo by Brett Boardman.

In the Sydney, Australia, neighborhood of Rozelle, architect Christopher Polly has renovated a house with green design in mind. By opening up the plan, adding floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walls to the rear of the house, deftly organizing windows, and repurposing elements of the original structure, Polly has created a residence that's attuned to its environment. Windows allow light and air to enter the house, and Breezway Altair louvers abound, as does Viridian Comfort Plus low-e glass. Photo by Brett Boardman.
A change of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, neighborhood for Rick and Susan Moreland meant a chance to create a thoroughly modern house that owes its sleek, sustainable form to its vernacular roots. The patio and the rest of the house are equally open to the outdoors. Photo by João Canziani.
Living small is par for the course in New York City, but accommodating a family of four in under 700 square feet rarely looks as effortless as in this storage-smart renovation. Between its small footprint and reuse of existing materials (such as the brick), it's an ideal green renovation. When it's time to eat or do homework, the adults lower the tabletop, revealing a dozen book cubbies. Photo by Raimund Koch.
Sustainable consultant to the stars Jordan Harris convinces Hollywood starlets to go hybrid, but when it came to greening his own home, he enlisted outside help. The Harris family rests easy on their new back patio abutting the Belvedere lagoon. The first order of business for this green remodel was to reconnect the house with its surroundings. Inside, 95 percent of the timber (including ipe, redwood, Douglas fir, and eucalyptus) for the external and internal framework was either salvaged or sustainably harvested. Low-VOC paint coats the walls. Photo by Todd Hido.

Application of the sales and use tax to the sale of school pictures by a photography business to students or
parents, if the school attempts to claim such sales as one of no more than two tax-exempt fund-raising events.
This letter ruling is an interpretation and application of the tax law as it relates to a specific set of existing facts
furnished to the Department by the taxpayer. The rulings herein are binding upon the Department and are
applicable only to the individual taxpayer being addressed.
This letter ruling may be revoked or modified by the Commissioner at any time.
Such revocation or modification shall be effective retroactively unless the following conditions are met, in which
case the revocation shall be prospective only:
(A) The taxpayer must not have misstated or omitted material facts involved in the transaction;
(B) Facts that develop later must not be materially different from the facts upon which the ruling was based;
(C) The applicable law must not have been changed or amended;
(D) The ruling must have been issued originally with respect to a prospective or proposed transaction; and
(E) The taxpayer directly involved must have acted in good faith in relying upon the ruling; and a retroactive
revocation of the ruling must inure to the taxpayer's detriment.
The taxpayer conducts a school photography business in the State of Tennessee. This business consists of
photographing students in school and offering picture packages for sale to the students or parents.
In most cases, the pictures are sent home from the school with the students so that the students or parents
may review the pictures to decide if they want to purchase all, part, or none of the picture packages. In a
minority of cases, the students or parents pay for the picture packages in advance, subject to complete
satisfaction with the product. If not completely satisfied, the students or parents may request either new pictures
or a refund of their money.
The school collects the money for purchases of the picture packages. The school receives a commission on
the sales, typically in the amount of 20%. Sometimes, the school deposits the money, and the taxpayer bills the
school for the amount in excess of the school's commission. Alternatively, the taxpayer collects the money from
the school and remits the commission to the school.
1. Are sales of picture packages by the taxpayer to students or parents exempt from Tennessee sales and use
tax, if the school designates such sales as one of no more than two fund-raising events?
2. When are sales of school pictures used to raise funds by a school potentially taxable?
3. If such sales are not exempt, under what circumstances would school photography be exempt from
Tennessee sales and use taxes as a fundraiser?
4. Is each school group within a school entitled to have two annual tax exempt fundraisers in addition to the two
held by the school?
5. If the school (or other organization) provides documentation to the taxpayer that school photography is one
of two tax-exempt fund raisers but then holds a third fund raiser, who is liable for the tax on the school
photography sales?
1. No. The taxpayer's sales of picture packages to students or parents cannot qualify as one of a school's two
tax-free fund-raising events, because the exemption can only apply to sales made by the school. Sales made
by the taxpayer cannot qualify as one of the two fundraisers.
2. Under the facts given, the sales of school pictures to raise funds for a school are taxable.
The sales of school photography would be exempt from sales and use tax only under very limited
circumstances. The school would have to purchase the pictures from the taxpayer for resale to the students or
parents and not be acting merely as an agent for the taxpayer's sales to students or parents. Also, the
school would have to state in writing (preferably in the form of a sworn affidavit) that the sales will be one of no
more than two fund-raising events for the entire calendar year.
Any tax-exempt fundraiser must be
limited to 30 consecutive days or less.
4. If a school group, within the meaning of "school group" in Rule 1320-5-1-.09(4), is acting as an agent for the
school, the school group cannot conduct any tax-exempt fundraisers beyond the school's two annual tax-
exempt fundraisers. A school group may not be used as a way to allow a school to have additional tax-free
5. Assuming that the picture sales otherwise qualify for the exemption for semiannual or less-frequent fund
raisers of a school, if the school holds a third fund raiser during the year, the school must pay use tax on the
cost price of all picture packages sold during the year.
1. & 2
. This letter ruling request involves many of the same issues as Letter
Ruling No. 97-44, and it involves the same taxpayer. The taxpayer has raised
basically the same questions addressed in that letter ruling, except that the
current letter ruling request involves specific questions regarding the exemption
from sales tax for "casual and isolated sales" by schools that engage in no more
than two fund raisers during a calendar year. The taxpayer wants to know if that
exemption can alter the result of Letter Ruling No. 97-44.
Letter Ruling No. 97-44 says that the sales tax applies to the entire purchase
price paid by students or parents for school pictures. It also says that the
school's commission would be exempt from tax only if the school purchases the
pictures from the taxpayer and then resells them to the students or parents.
Because the school acts as agent for the taxpayer and does not actually
purchase the pictures for resale, the sale occurs between the taxpayer and the
students or parents. Therefore, none of the exemptions from taxation regarding
schools would apply. The sales tax must be collected and remitted on the entire
sales price.
The specific exemption that the taxpayer is asking about is found in Tenn. Code
Ann. Section 67-6-102(2), which reads in part as follows:
"Business" does not include any sales or use tax of tangible personal
property of any type sold directly to consumers by any person, including,
but not limited to, the Girl Scouts or county fairs; provided, that the
tangible personal property is not regularly sold by such person or is
regularly sold by such person only during a temporary sales period which
occurs on a semiannual, or less frequent, basis.
The Tennessee Department of Revenue Sales and Use Tax Rules address this
exemption in Rule 1320-5-1-.09(4), which reads as follows:
Irregular sales of tangible personal property or regular sales of tangible
personal property made only during a temporary sales period occurring
on a semiannual or less frequent basis are casual and isolated sales not
subject to tax.
If a person other than a public or private school, grades K-12, or school group has or conducts
more than two (2) sales periods during a calendar year, such person shall be liable for sales tax on all
sales during that calendar year. Public and private schools, grades K-12, and school support groups having or
conducting more than two (2) sales periods during a calendar year, having purchased tangible personal
property or taxable services without the payment of tax, shall be liable for the use tax based on the purchase
price of the items or services purchased during that calendar year.
A sales period shall be presumed
to be temporary if it is of 30 consecutive days duration or less.
Persons making purchases of tangible
personal property or taxable services for resale during temporary semiannual or annual sales periods shall
provide their vendor with a written statement indicating that the items or services will be sold during a
semiannual or annual sales period.
The result is clear and unambiguous based upon both the statute and the rule.
The exemption does not apply to the sale of school pictures by the taxpayer to
the students or parents, because the taxpayer is in the business of selling school pictures. The number of fund
raisers held by a particular school is irrelevant, because the school is not selling the pictures. As Letter Ruling
No. 97-44 makes clear, the school is merely acting as the agent of the taxpayer. The sales occur between the
taxpayer and the students or parents and are therefore taxable in their entirety.
It would be difficult, although not impossible, for the sale of picture packages to students or parents to
become exempt from the sales and use tax. The taxpayer would have to change the way that it does business.
It would have to actually sell the picture packages to the schools for resale to the students or parents. Also,
each school would have to provide the taxpayer "with a written statement indicating that the items or services
will be sold during a semiannual or annual sales period." Rule 1320-5-1-.09(4).
It must be emphasized that changing the nature of the transaction as a sale to the school for resale to the
students or parents is not merely a matter of calling it a sale for resale. To be a true sale for resale, the facts of
the transaction between the taxpayer and the school would have to qualify as a sale under the factors
explained in Letter Ruling No. 97-44 and in Haskins v. Yates, 1988 WL 80967 (Tenn. App.):
The Court of Appeals has found that the following factors indicate a sale rather than agency:
(1) The transferee (the school) gets legal title and possession of the goods.
(2) The transferee becomes responsible for an agreed price, either at once or when the goods are sold.
(3) The transferee can fix the price at which he sells without accounting to the transferor for the difference
between what he obtains and the price he pays.
(4) The goods are incomplete and unfinished and the transferee is to make additions to them.
(5) The risk of loss is upon the transferee.
(6) The transferee deals or has the right to deal with the goods of persons other than the transferor.
(7) The transferee deals in his own name and does not disclose that the goods are those of another. (Letter
Ruling 97-44).
It should be apparent from these criteria that in order for the transaction at issue to qualify as a sale for resale,
the facts of the transaction would have to change dramatically from the facts given. However, if the taxpayer
actually did sell picture packages to schools for resale, the transaction would be analogous to the
sale of school yearbooks to schools for resale, which was discussed in Opinion of the Attorney General, No. 88-
109. In such cases, the taxpayer would have to collect and remit sales tax on the purchase price paid by the
school. In order to escape the sales tax entirely, the school would have to provide to the taxpayer a written
statement (preferably a sworn affidavit) saying that the picture packages will be sold during one of no more
than two fund-raising events during the calendar year. Each such sales event may not last more than 30
consecutive days. A common misconception is that a school can engage in two tax-exempt
fund raisers and then have additional taxable fund raisers. This is not true. A third school fund raiser during a
calendar year renders all fund raisers taxable for that year. Rule 1320-5-1-.09(4).
Whether a school group, within the meaning of "school group" in Rule 1320-5-1-.09(4), can conduct two tax-
exempt fund raisers separate from and in addition to the school's fund raisers depends upon the particular
circumstances. If a school group is acting as an agent for the school, the group cannot have any tax-exempt
fund raisers during a calendar year separate from or in addition to the school's fund raisers. If a school group is
acting as an agent for the school, the school is actually raising the funds. Gehl Corporation v. Johnson, 991 S.
W.2d246, 248 (Tenn. App. 1998). The primary test of agency in this context is control of the group by the
school. A benefit to the school is also required. Id. A possible factor showing an agency relationship in this
context is if a school group is created for the purpose of raising funds for the school. Another potential factor
showing an agency relationship in this context is if the purpose of a school group's fund raiser is to raise funds
for the school rather than for the group. A school group cannot provide a method for a school to circumvent the
limitation of two annual tax-exempt fund raisers.
If the taxpayer obtains from a school a written statement (preferably a sworn affidavit) saying that the sales of
picture packages will be sold by the school as one of no more than two fund raisers during a calendar year,
and the school subsequently holds a third fund raiser, the school is liable for the use tax on the purchase price
that it paid for the picture packages. Rule 1320-5-1-.09(4) and Tenn. Code Ann. Section 67-6-102(24)(H). Of
course, this entire scenario depends upon the taxpayer actually selling picture packages to schools for resale
to students or parents, as discussed in the criteria found in Haskins v. Yates, 1988 WL 80967 (Tenn. App.).
Otherwise, the taxpayer cannot utilize the exemption for "casual and isolated sales."

Speaking on Self Esteem was Barrister Tunji Abdul Matin Sowale while Pharm. Ganiyat Alaraba moderated the session
The program was quite an interesting experience as boys from the school shared with us their experiences in the facility, what brought them to the facility and how they have improved during their stay there.
It was quite obvious that the boys had dreams as they were sharing several with us with great hope that they would achieve it.
At the Walk/Rally was Alh. Fatai Olayemi (Immediate Past NASFAT Youth Amir and Current NEC Ex-Officio) and Alh. Bashir Salman (Stakeholder, NASFAT Youth Wing ).
