polka dot bowls - thrift store find

2013-07-20T08:53:00.000-04:00

i found these bowls at one of my favorite stores this week - only $2! what did you find this week?

4th of july cupcakes and upcycled cake plate

2013-07-09T13:35:00.001-04:00

i made red, white and blue cupcakes for new neighbors and some friends! first of all - have you heard about making a cake with a can of soda? all you have to add is the can of soda - how great is that? no eggs, no oil, just soda. i picked cherry flavored soda that happened to be clear with white store brand cake mix - they were scrumptious - i just had to try one before giving them away. i tinted the frosting blue and used red sprinkles for the top.
i also upcycled a plate and candlesticks I found at thrift stores. the plates have a silver band around them so i tried finding candlesticks with silver-ish tones. i glued them on with my faithful e6000 glue and i think they're beautiful.

twine jar vase with shell arrangement

2013-06-29T12:40:00.001-04:00

this was super easy and i think super cute! i didn't take step by step pictures but here you go on how i made it - - -
first i covered a jar i saved with twine using hot glue
then i put clear marbles in the bottom
and used skewers (cut them in varying sizes)and hot glue to secure the shells so they look like flowers
and i put brown shredded paper in the top to look like dirt!

homemade pesticide and fertilizer

2013-06-03T11:25:00.000-04:00

the world's most perfect fertilizer + pesticide is epsom salt. every other week- 1 gallon of water, 1 TBSP of miracle grow and 3 TBSP of epsom salt- I got this off pinterest, couldn't trace back where it came from but sounds like it's worth a try to me!!

glow sticks and balloons

2013-06-02T09:01:00.000-04:00

I saw these on Pinterest but couldn't trace back to where they came from, but it said they were glow sticks (dollar tree) in balloons (dollar tree). how cool, then i started thinking, since i don't have a pool (unless you count the atlantic ocean!) i could hang these from trees and plant hooks in my back yard for a nice evening with friends! how cool would that be!
