Brelli

With the down pouring of rain that has been happening here for the past few days one of these "Brelli's" definitely would have come in handy. The biodegradable Brelli is made from bamboo (a renewable resource) and features a canopy of clear biodegradable PVC. I tend to forgo an umbrella even in the most torrential downpours because I feel like I can't see and any gust of wind turns them into unusable trash pretty quickly. The Brelli has a wind vent system to allow it to withstand high wind, and I like that the top is clear so you can see when you are walking! According the manufacturer a discarded Brelli will completely biodegrade in less than 5 years, which is a fraction of the time it takes for traditional umbrellas to decompose. Check out the site here, they also make "sunBrellis" and ponchos.

Terrariums?

With Spring supposedly here, I definitely have gardening and plants on my mind. I'm happy to say that despite my sometimes not so green thumb our favorite plants have made it through the Winter, and they are very ready to get back outdoors. With the impending extra room that will be had when our enormous palm tree and lime tree make their way back to their rightful place on the deck, I am thinking about creating a terrarium to take their spot. I was perusing Terrain for inspiration and found so many goodies that I can't wait to get started!

Such a great gift idea, this Baking Dish Herb Garden, looks so organic and whimsical! I think I have few vintage dishes lying around, I'm excited to give this look a whirl!

This is gorgeous, but may be a bit ambitious for me. My track record with orchids is embarrassing, I think I will be sticking with succulents and moss, you know the stuff that can't be easily killed! I will keep you posted on my progress! xo

Royal Buffet

I am loving these sweet paper garlands and mobiles from Royal Buffet. They are so light and airy. Who doesn't want a collection of swinging butterflies made from vintage french magazine pages dancing in the corner of any room?

Faire Houre

I must admit I have always had a thing for clocks. It might have to do with the fact that I am a stickler when it comes to punctuality, or that I enjoy objects that are beautiful yet functional! Either way I love clocks- and the beauties at Faire Houre really caught my eye. One of a kind or limited editions, the clocks at Faire Houre are repurposed from china plates to create simple timepieces. I love the idea behind the product and also the fact that they can be modern or traditional depending on whatever gorgeous plate was used.

Snowed In..

Snowing, snowing all day! Yesterday, we were hit with a big 'ole snowstorm which meant lots of shoveling, hot tea and dogs playing in the snow.

Sweet Surprise

You know its going to be a good day when you find this on your front porch! My Mom has a habit of spoiling me with special goodies (I guess it has something to do with us living 3,000 miles apart), but yesterday I came out my front door to find a beautiful box filled with the biggest, most brightly colored cupcakes I have ever seen!

I am slowly working my way through these calorie laden baked goods, but thought they would make for an excellent Valentine's gift for a loved one! If they are anything like me and love a sweet surprise they won't be disappointed! You can make your own custom 6 pack with Crumbs' cool 6 pack customizer .

Thanks, Mom!

Have a sweet weekend!
