Upcycled & Recycled on Etsy - Get Your Garden Started

While much of the country is still struggling with winter's ice grip it is still time to start thinking about your gardens.  Many people have little starter plants already growing in their greenhouse or if their like me, they have rows of baby plants in each window.  I always looked forward to the first weeks of April because you could safely start your plants indoors, even in the colder zone 4 climates.  Most often the weather was consistently warm enough by mid to late May.

Today's selection of wonderfully handcrafted upcycled garden items brings new meaning to the phrase "Green Thumb!"  Enjoy and have a blessed morning:

Upcycled & Recycled on Etsy - Time To Hit The Beach

While some of the US is still fighting back the cold icy grip of winter, here in Palm Springs it is Time To Hit The Beach!  I love the beach, can't get enough of it!  Terry (hubby) and I took a day trip Saturday to beautiful Laguna Beach and now I have the beach bug.  It is has been on my mind all week.  Here are a couple of quick pictures I took with my poor half-dead camera.

So since that is where my mind is stuck I figure I might as well just go with the theme today.  I hope you enjoy my Upcycled Beach picks this morning.  Have a blessed day.

Often I forget how much I love the color orange.  I don't usually where orange and currently lack that color in my wardrobe.  After seeing one of Etsy highlighted treasuries I was driven to post everything orange.  I am also thinking that I will need to find myself some orange to where for the summer.  What fun, bright and cheery, Sunny color!  I hope you enjoy my picks this morning.
Blessings
