Celebrations: bring on the bling for new year’s eve

Here are a few New Year’s Eve ideas that you could put together in no time. I blinged out a few serving pieces and glasses that will make my New Year’s extra sparkly.

Celebrations: fall table centerpiece

No matter how hard you want to hold on to summer, fall is here. It’s in the air and now it’s on my table.

The Dirt: Summer Succulents

I’ve wanted to make a centerpiece with succulents for awhile and was inspired by the three ceramic jars I found at the 99₵ store recently. Bright yellow jars perfect for summer.


I finally got to the nursery today and ooh - the selection. I had a hard time deciding but finally settled on three hardy-looking guys. I would tell you their proper names but they didn’t come with those little plastic plant sticks and I forgot to ask.

The succulents were easy to transplant into the jars and they seem perfectly happy in the dining room or on the patio.



I think my nameless succulents and bright yellow pots will keep me in a summer mood for a long time.
