Two weeks of Summer left – you have just enough time to make this and give it a test run at the beach!

Thanks Martha!

Great idea for some quick extra seating –  bhg.com never disapoints!

Equally brilliant for the vertical gardener or preschool class.

So I had this rusted out tomato cage…

I flipped it over and used pliers to curl out the ends of the rusted prongs.

Next I used the pliers to adjust the prongs to fit my favorite colander and viola!

Very Smart.

Just Like Me.

Sweet and Smart – These would look great anywhere!

I’ve already picked the perfect spot for my hanging flower garden: the large tree in our front yard.

So many good ideas here.

I’m so over the wine cork trivet and its tired cousin the wine cork bulletin board -

But this? This is really cool!

I was feeling pretty good about myself when i completed my first knitted face cloth, it was even    somewhat square.

I was feeling good until i saw the one jeney made.  Hers was pretty and perfect and mine suddenly looked like a pot holder.

No one wants to wash their face with a pot holder

These cute little jars made me feel a bit better! I found them here.

This is an amazing idea - A vertical garden using rain gutters!

Perfect for a small space, a classroom or a wonderful herb garden!  The thing I love best is that I can have a kitchen garden and a puppy!

I found this on pinterest.com – check it out!

You can find these funky shelving units for free all day long on Craigslist - This Before and After was taken from a Better Homes and Garden article, I found it at Happy Day Vintage.  How cute would this be in an entry way or a nursery!

I tried whipping up a batch of rose water using an enamel pot as a homemade still, boiling water, a brick and of course; a bowl of rose petals.

It stunk up my house; something akin to asparagus.

Evidently this stuff has to age awhile and I’ve never been good at waiting – so… Three of my most fabulous BFFs and I visited The Russian River Rose Company located in Healdsburg, CA – right in my own back yard.

We signed up for the Perfume Rose Harvest Tour and after a little instruction we were out in the rose fields harvesting baskets full of roses – it was incredible! It doesn’t take long for you to discover that your tour guide is a gentleman farmer well educated in history, chemistry, economics, advertising and of course; all thing roses.

Your group stuffs the homemade still with rose petals and is rewarded with a cup of hot tea and an interesting demonstration and education.

By the end of the morning you’ll have made a mason jar of rose water! Your host will let you test some aged rose water (remember; asparagus) on each other – hilarity ensues!
