Flower Show

  This weekend i went to the annual flower and garden show, While there i noticed they had a bonsai and orchid exhibit, they were all gorgeous! So I thought i might share some with you!

I thought this was cute a succulent bonsai!

They had a large selection of orchids all gorgeous!

Japanese maple tree bonsai, It was about 30 years old!

Natures amazing!

Japanese Maple tree again, They were teaching classes on bonsai's as well! This one was 20 yrs old!

Spider Orchid!

Force Blooming,

  A great way to bring fresh spring color into the house before spring does is, force blooming with branchs.. It tricks the branchs into things its spring.  Simple!

Red Twig dog wood in our vintage glass milk jug we found under our house.

Once you choose and cut your branchs bring them indoors and placing the stem ends immediately in water. I used a old glass milk jug but anything will work.

Next you want to make sure the branchs get plenty of water the best method is to make a slit or two in the bottom of the stem before placing in the water. You can place alittle plant for in the water to help cocks the plant out, make sure you keep the water clean often.

Then place the branchs in bright, but indirect, light.

Some branchs you can use are Hawthorns, Honeysuckle shrub, Forsythia, Apple, Cherry or Peach trees and Lilacs. I Used a red twig Dogwood. Just experiment and have fun!

A notch in a Log.

I enjoy succulents and have a couple different varieties growing in the yard, So i was thinking of some ideas were i could use them in unique ways so here is one of them.



I found this log while going threw our fire wood pile, to think we would have burned this little gem!




I filled the opening with succulent soil
 (surprisingly stays in well) then planted the succulents and covered with moss. Easy.. 



Bohemian style.

I've been doing some research online to try and get some ideas this spring for my patio! While i was on there i noticed a large amount of bohemian styles, I think i might take some notes!

@inspirebohemia.com
This one is both bohemian and feminine!

@theyellowcottage.com
This one is my favorite i love all the different textiles and how they work together! I would love to spend hours in here with the sun on my face!!!

@theyellowcottage.com

@costalliving.com
This one just has a hint of bohemian with out completely committing to the bohemian look! Love the view!

Woo Hooo!

Party its the weekend!!!!

Hangin around...

  My latest project is my hanging succulent planters. There super easy and super cheap!

First pick the succulents you want to work with i bought mine from Home Depot they were $2.89... I think.

Next i put succulent soil in a old nylon, You don't have to do this but i didn't want the soil loose in the glass container.

After I filled the nylon i placed the succulent in there.

Next since the nylons isn't very pretty i covered it with moss.

Lastly i placed it all in the glass drops i got at the craft warehouse which i think were $ 4.89 each! Super cute and super easy! They still need to be hung by the window, but I'll post that once its done!

Fire,

   So with the weather getting nice I have been thinking about what I'm going to do with my patio, what to keep what to change and while i was out there i noticed i needed a better way  of storing our firewood so I searched on line to get some inspiration. I was Surprised to find such unique options!



@inprovisedlife.com
I need mine for outside storage but i loved this one! I could maybe figure out how to make this work for the patio...




@diggswhat.com
This one is Fun and Just the right size!

I'm thinking something like this is what i might do but maybe in smaller mmultiples.



Green house.

 While looking up greenhouse I noticed a large selection of gorgeous green houses! Now mine won't quite look like these just yet but i have high hope some day...

Digging this space, I love how it feels like part of the home. I could spend all day in here!

Great idea for re-using materials that other wise would have been thrown away!
