Adding Summer Freshness to Your Home for FREE!
I suffer from a common Summertime disease that many of you may also share.
I have O.C.D. Yep, I a bad case of it this time of year. "Obsessive Clipping Disorder." With my gardening clippers in hands, I have managed to fill a number of vases and containers around my home with fresh ivy, grapevine and assorted greenery. And best of all, it didn't cost me a single penny. As in FREE! The next time you want to add some Summer Freshness to your home, shop your yard. Add 2-3 kinds of branches, some ivy or grapevine, honeysuckle...whatever is available seasonally. Just avoid the poison ivy. While its a pretty vine, it will not be so pretty on your body. Take a look at the small Breakfast Table Vignette I created because of my O.C.D. Enjoy!

I used a tin-bottom tray and added a selection of white dishes and pitchers. I also used the tin-numbered tags I sell in my online shop. Farmhouse Decor.
This small tin chalkboard from my shop was the perfect size to create a little message.
A pretty white milk bottle with my favorite number.
A pretty embellished pitcher...
With 5-acres of grapevine and other greenery on our property - no wonder I have O.C.D. :)
Simple touches that did not cost me a dime to pull together.
Grapevine. Need I say more? :)
My breakfast room table and hutch dressed for Summer.
A small white pitcher with a cute little "B" monogram - filled with curly-handled spoons and forks.
