Re-growing Celery from Celery

Have you heard of Re-growing Celery from Celery?

I LOVE this idea for my garden! Did you know that you can grow another complete celery ...»

stalk from the bottom piece that you cut off and throw away? Cut off the end that you would normally "throw away" and then place it in a small dish filled with warm water.

Next "pot" the celery stalk (Stalk Side Up) or place in your garden. Just dig a small hole, fill it with water and set the end in the hole, then cover it up with an inch or so of soil. Water thoroughly. That is it! Now the "end" will grow into a full stalk of celery! Rinse and Repeat and you never have to buy celery again! Talk about a way to save money! This photo is taken on day 7 and as you can see it is working!

  • I wrapped burlap ribbon around the can and added a print of an old ledger paper.
  • This could be used for holding office supplies or at a wedding or shower as centerpieces.
  • This one is  feminine and pretty it could just as easily be added to your vanity to hold makeup brushes.
  • It could also be used for weddings, showers  or any girly event. 2

Turn a dated brass foyer light into a classy circle patterned beauty

A $5 Habitat ReStore light got a makeover with Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint and Martha Stewart glass paint. A silkscreen stencil was produced so that the paint could be squeegeed through the stencil.

    My only problem with these is the weight of the concrete bags. I can't lift them on my own so ...»
    I have to rely on someone else - other than that they are super easy to do, and look great. One other pointer - if you mix in any concrete stain be sure to measure accurately so each batch has the same amount of stain or you will end up with wild variations of colors.

Tin Can & Tequila Bottle Repurpose

Using up some tin cans and glass I've been saving by adding some paint and sparkle. Great way to display casual clippings.

Showers vs. Jetted Tub

Luxury showers quickly are taking over the space that was once devoted for the whirlpool/ jetted tub. What is your vote? Spacious Shower OR Relaxing tub?
