Perusing the pages of Pottery Barn can be a dangerous past time activity in my home. I came across some beautiful cream and blue coral napkin rings. Now to be honest, we don’t often use napkin rings or cloth napkins even in my home but for some reason these pretty coral rings caught my eye. The $33 price tag also caught my attention. I can do better than that! Let’s make our own for 1/5 the price! Sound good? These are the Pottery Barn plastic coral beaded napkin rings seen below. Pretty ...

Grilled Artichokes
If you have ever ordered the Grilled Artichokes at The Cheesecake Factory then you know just how amazing they taste.

Whimsical Hand Painted Planter
We’ve been cleaning up the garden beds and deck, preparing the beds and planters for new spring flowers. This year I wanted a brighter punch of color and lighthearted, fun feel on the deck, so I decided to give my fiberglass planters a makeover and transform them into Whimsical Hand Painted Planters.
