Summer Glow

These fabulous tealight glass garden stakes from jcp.com just inspired my next party! Aren't the colors so summery? Perfect for lining a pool patio too. They would cast a lovely glow on the water. On sale for 1/2 off too! Snatch them up today, I have a feeling they won't stick around long!

Herbalicious

Just skimming through one of my fav websites today www.spoonsisters.com and came across these rustic herb markers. They are my new must have for our little container herb garden. These would make a great gift for your garden loving mother or mother-in-law for Mother's Day too. Sold as a set of nine stakes - one of each herb for $22.50. Would also be adorable placed in the windowsil herb garden featured below.

Green Day

Since today is Earth Day I wanted to share this somewhat eco-friendly way to have an indoor herb garden inspired by Real Simple . Recycle your old vases and glass containers, by wrapping them in craft paper and raffia (or scrapbook paper and ribbon, if you want to go a little more colorful) and you can grow herbs right on your windowsil all year long. Fill the first few inches of the vase with some small rocks for drainage, then a little dirt and your herb of choice. The name of each herb written on the paper adds a whimsical touch.
