Can customer service please inform readers where the responses are to the questions in the comments? I would also like to know where to order/purchase the glass domes. The new format which listed the party sources is very helpful and very much appreciated. However, the information on the glass dome was not listed.
Was there a blog in which the dog decals are discussed?
I do not see the link for the large decals on the wall?
I don't like the new set-up for viewing videos, it has become too complicated and you can only watch short clips
either.... http://www.surlatable.com/
one source was Sur La Table. they mentioned another one and i didn't get that name eihttp://www.surlatable.com/ther.
Terrific show! One question - did anyone hear where Darcy obtained the glass domes that displayed the chocolate dogs? I couldn't understand her answer and Martha quickly went to the next display without actually waiting to hear the answer. It sounded like "Barabeld" but I couldn't find anything on the web so i must be wrong...
