bringing the outdoors inside
Happy Monday Friends! Right up until I purchased several herbs and flowers to refresh my outdoor containers, we were having a very mild winter. Of course as soon as I bought them, we had
our coldest temps in over 30 years! So I improvised and decided to create an early spring mantel to enjoy my plants indoors for now
Hi there, Friends! One of my favorite things about thrifting is taking a dated find and repurposing it in an unexpected, useful way. Today's project not only allows me to indulge my passion for bringing the outdoors inside, it's also functional in the practical sense.
Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Last weekend I attended quite a few garage sales and would you believe I came home empty handed? That does happen sometimes, though it's actually been awhile since it's happened to me. However, I still have something special to share today--a find-inspired mini project. Come see how I repurposed a thrift store French tart pan as a simple naturescape...
Happy Wednesday, Friends! Recently I received the cutest gift from my thoughtful friend, Carly. She gave it to me at our Bible study one evening and I could hardly wait to play with it! The following morning, this playful summer mantel came together almost effortlessly...
Greetings Friends! Am I the only one who feels like Summer is rushing past me? I cannot believe we have less than two weeks left of July! Lately, I've been in the garden so much, time got away from me and I realized my mantel was in need of an update. My passion for gardening, penchant for Vintage hankies and affection for whimsy provided ample inspiration. Plus, everything I used was thrifted or clearance. The results--my favorite mantel vignette to date!
Happy Wednesday Friends! Today's May Flower is actually a blooming vine: fragrant Honeysuckle. It has to be one of my all time favorites and on Spring mornings, you can find me standing by my garden gate deeply inhaling its intoxicating aroma. Honeysuckle also makes a great privacy plant forming a vast scented curtain of greenery. In my climate it stays green year round.
