Time was, every St. Louis household collected rainwater in barrels – but the containers eventually went the way of buggy whips.  They are, however, back again, especially in affluent west St. Louis county and the trendy Central West End where they have been purchased from websites for more than $100 each.  Now, MSD plans to get in on the trend offering discount-priced rain barrels through its billing department to MSD customers “current on their sewer bills.”  Delinquents and non-MSD customers need not apply for the $65 barrels. . .

Needlepoint has become hotter than ever, according to tycoon Dennis Jones, whose wife, Judy is involved with the Needlepoint Clubhouse in the Plaza Shops on New Ballas Road with Linda Aboussie, Judy Harper and Linda Bryant.  The craft has brought together four generations of Pearce-Jones-Franz girls.  They’re also offering the first Judaic catalog of designs in our town.  That news was offered by Dennis, who was cornered t’other day by Chris Pauli of Crown Investment Partners, who said his fund was up 36 percent in ‘09. Sun-drenched Jones had just returned from an 18-day voyage on his yacht with Dr. Alan Londe, Sandy Tucker, Tom and Eleanor Berra and Bert and Eileen Wise.  Meanwhile, you can send congrats to Dennis and Judy Jones on their past-half-century of wedded bliss.
