Repurposed and Upcycled Patriotic Garden Inspiration

Memorial Day greetings to you, Friends! For those of you who have served or are currently serving in the military, thank you!

In honor of celebrating our country's red, white, and blue, today I am sharing some of my favorite repurposed and upcycled patriotic inspiration for the garden that will last through July 4th and Labor Day...

Fragrant and Effective Hand Sanitizer: Fridays at Home

Happy Friday, Friends! Has your state started phases toward reopening? Texas has, but I am cautiously still staying close to home. I schedule most of my grocery shopping for pick-up and clad in my face mask, I make a monthly early morning run for other necessities. If you would have told me several months ago that I would consider hand sanitizer a fabulous find, I am not sure I would have believed you--but here we are! Today, I'll show you how to make the 99.99% effective germ-killing stuff wonderfully fragrant...

Upcycled Floral Swag Basket: Fridays at Home

Hi there, Friends! As I shared last week when I highlighted Secret Garden Herbs,  I have been selling mostly seeds during the pandemic. I use note cards to mail out my seed packets and recently purchased a mega pack online to avoid running out. You know that I'm all about pretty storage, so today I'm sharing how I  shopped my home and paired previously purchased finds: a clearance basket and a yard sale floral swag to create this lovely card caddy.
