Yes, yes, I’ve talked about wheat grass before. Â I’m going to talk about it again, just because I love it so. I love that you can buy it in a pint size container at the grocery store for a buck fifty. (How often do you get a flower arrangement for less than $2?!) I love […]
Silly shutters… more robin’s egg blue.
I haven’t felt too spring-y, but I’m slowly adding a bit of color around here. Â I have frequently complained about how much I dislike my asymmetrical mantel, and I’m not really ready to tackle it, but I did want to at least do something. I sprayed these smaller with Valspar’s Aqua and leaned them up […]

Time to shop for wheat grass…
Wheat grass… I know you can grow it, but I think it’s faster and easier to buy it. These were my thoughts on wheat grass last year…. Â I haven’t gotten more time in my schedule, so I am on the lookout for a cute container or two and wheat grass in the produce department. Â […]
Make weathered, shabby chic flower pots using spray paint & candle wax.

Mother’s Day Wrap-up. No pictures of people, but pictures of Pom-Poms. Duh.
I just washed and put away the last champagne flute from our annual Mother’s Day Brunch. This is the 5th one we’ve hosted, and each time it gets a little easier to put together. I change the theme and/or color scheme each year. I was going to do this turquoise and apple green, with pops […]
Yes, you can spray paint tissue paper.
As I mentioned yesterday, the economy is messing with my Mother’s Day Brunch… which is a big deal around here. I change up the theme and color scheme from year to year, and this time, I am going with turquoise and apple green, with pops of tangerine. I knew I wanted to make tissue paper […]
Pink cabbage is just plain wrong.
So the other day I was in my local Goodwill (Yes…. The one that sells rocks…) and I came across this. It clearly had a lid at some point in its life, but the lid was missing and there was a chip on the top of it.Oh. And it was pink. Who has ever heard […]
