Terrariums

I love terrariums, I even considered them for centerpieces at my wedding. There is something so lovely about plants growing inside a beautiful glass container.

A Picnic Set

Picnic season may almost be over in some parts of the country (here in Florida it's a year long activity!) but I thought this was a great project to liven up your next picnic.

This is also a great for those of you who want to make the switch from paper towels to cloth napkins. Mike and I did this a few months ago, I made us each napkins in different patterns and now we use these instead of paper towels. It is so much better for the environment and it now takes us twice the time to go through a roll of paper towels!

Wedding flowers

I am really trying to keep an eco-conscious mind with my wedding planning. Of course, that's difficult when you start thinking about flower arrangements.

I'm pretty much set on the idea that my maid of honor and I will each carry a bouquet of dried lavender which is definitely eco-friendly because it can be re-used after the wedding to make lavender sachets or soaps!

When it comes to table settings I'm stuck. i have a couple of ideas for non-flower arrangements but I know how well flowers can make a table come together so I'm torn. I actually really like these fabric flowers, they come in a kit with the supplies needed to make an entire boquet.
