This Summer's MUST HAVE Item? A DIY Smoothie Station!

We're huge smoothie fans in this house and needed a way to keep our ingredients at hand without cluttering the countertops. Now our smoothie station keeps everything in one place, neatly. ...»
So now when the kids beg for smoothies or I want to whip up one for breakfast everything's ready to go and I can see when we're running low on the essentials. And it's beautiful, too-- until my son half-eats a banana and leaves it on the tray. ;-) Follow the link for more details and a few of our favorite top-secret smoothie hints.

  • I decoupaged printouts of postcards inside the drawers of my end table to tie in with the postcards on the table top.. 2
  • Francesca's drawers all cleaned up with a little decoupage magic.
  • Now you see why she needed a drawer update!

Dirty drawers? Decoupage them! :)

I posted earlier about updating my end table with paint and postcard graphics. Well, Francesca also needed a little update behind the scenes, so to speak. Another fun project thanks to Karen - The Graphics Fairy ...»

  • The first step is to clean up the flower bed in the spring.  I did any weeding necessary, and raked up pine cones, needles and leaves in the area.
  • I then gathered terra cotta pots in several sizes from  just a few inches to medium to extra large.
  • I cleaned up the pots with a little with hot soapy water.  I never use bleach as I love them weathered and with salt deposits.
  • I line up my pots upside down to make sure I have enough pots for the edging.  After I have the correct line up, I dig the pots down into the dirt about 2 inches.
  • I like the idea of lining them up smallest to largest, but they could be all the same size too.
  • Then fill in around the pots with a little potting soil. Now I just have to wait for the perennials to fill in.

Setting Up a Terra Cotta Pot Edging

For the last two summer seasons, I have set up a terra cotta pot flower bed edging under a large spruce tree by our deck. The area under the tree receives filtered sunlight on one side ...»
and a few hours of midday full sun. Perennials that grow well for me here are hostas, Lady's Mantle, astilbes and sedums. Occasionally I add a few impatiens.

How are you keeping cozy?

This week's theme is #KeepingCozy. It's COLD here in NYC. I have an icy 15 minute walk to the train to work and back every day, ...»
and I love coming home to a cozy house. My favorite thing to do when I get home is to cuddle up under warm blankets with my laptop. I prefer not to waste electricity on heat unless I absolutely have to, so spending a little extra on a super warm comforter seems like a worthwhile investment.

How do you keep warm? Share your post and pictures with the #KeepingCozy hashtag.

  • First I used picture hanging wire to form a wire handle on my pint jar. There are many easy tutorials for mason jar lanterns on the internet.  I followed one for wedding lanterns.
  • After putting the wire handle on the jar, I added a metal star and filled the jar with putka pods. I added Spanish Moss to a small galvanized pail and placed a flameless grubby candle to the putka pod jar. Then placed jar in the pail.
