RAISE A GLASS: We’d like to propose a toast to going green in style. Featuring hand-blown recycled glass, Pottery Barn’s Casa Collection would add an elegant and earth-friendly touch to any tabletop. Choose from five styles, including margarita glasses, goblets and tumblers, each patterned after traditional Mexican designs. Equally at home dressed up or down, these sets would also make ideal housewarming and wedding gifts for just about anyone on your list. GET IT: Casa Recycled Glassware, $32-$54 (sets of 6). Available online from Pottery Barn.
Book retailer Barnes & Noble Inc., facing a potential proxy fight with shareholder activists unhappy about the company's stock price and strategy, said Tuesday it may put itself on the block — possibly selling the chain to an investment group that would include its founder and biggest shareholder, Leonard Riggio.
The world's largest bookseller said its board is evaluating several options to boost shareholder value in the face of a depressed stock price, including selling the company. Riggio, who holds some 17.9 million shares or nearly 30 percent of the company's stock, said he's considering joining an investor group to buy the retailer.
