Fresh Herb Bouquets

Posted on July 9, 2015 by Julie

It rained again yesterday and the week before that it rained, too.

That might not sound like a big deal to many of you, but rain during the summer in Texas is usually a little out of the ordinary.

But this year has been anything but ordinary!

My yard has never been so green and lush.

When we came home from visiting my parents in Minnesota last week we found that our yard was a bit out of control!

My herbs, in particular, needed a substantial pruning. Some had begun to flower and others were wild and unruly.

When I do a big pruning like this, I’m left with an abundance of fresh herbs. Of course, I could give some away to friends, family and neighbors (and I do!) but here’s another suggestion – make herb bouquets!

Decorating with Pitchers

Posted on May 12, 2015 by Julie

There are some things in this world that just don’t make a lot of sense.

My affinity for pitchers is one of them.

I should correct myself and say that to me, my love for them makes perfect sense. They’re cute and functional. And they’re cute. (I know I repeated myself, but it’s worth repeating.) Beyond that, I’m not really sure why they make my heart go pitter-pat. They just do.

I don’t really discriminate, I like them in colors or just plain white. I also like glass pitchers. They can be old or new. It really doesn’t matter. When I see a cute one, I would like to bring it home to live with me. And, trust me, I’ve left more pitchers at the store than I have purchased simply because there is only so much room. And money.

Some people think pitchers are just for holding drinks, but I think they can be so much more. I have my small collection scattered about my house and I use them in many ways.
