Spring interiors: bliss indoors and out
Spring Interiors
The weather has been so wishy-washy. Teasing us with a 70 degree day, and then bringing us back down by dropping to 50 overnight! But, the leaves are finally on the trees, and the days are longer – so it’s safe to say Spring is here.
I love the longer days…so beautiful

…and fresh flowers. The first image is flowers in tea tins. I do this, but my tea tins aren’t water tight so I put a juice glass with water inside the tea tin and just put the flowers in the glass. The second image is a cute idea: use some glass bottles (they don’t have to match), wrap some jute or hemp around them – and you get a lovely handpicked, country centerpiece.

Meals outside..
When I was a kid, we out outside every evening in the summer. We didn’t have a patio, so we just set up chairs and a table right out in the yard

Love handmade? Don’t miss these adorable creations..
You are going to love these. For me it was love at first sight. These little knitted plants are too cute – and the mushroom terrariums? *swoon!
via Covet Garden, where I first discovered these gems…
The toadstool terrariums are the work of Holly Procktor. You can visit her blog Holly Handmade to learn more about her creations.
The knit cacti were created by Shannon Gerard, when she tried and failed again and again to grow her own plants – so she decided to make her own!
LLLLLL
oooooo
vvvvvvv
eeeeeeee!!
You can view all of these adorable cacti on her site – Plants you can’t Kill

A super easy DIY that makes a great Mother’s Day gift
The new home networking site – Link My Home, was awesome enough to publish my post today on turning a Mason jar into a soap pump. Link My Home connects home owners globally to chat, share inspiration, and buy/sell – check it out.
Below is my post and DIY
Decorology DIY: Turn a Mason jar into a charming soap pump – A great Mother’s Day gift too!
via Country Living
I’m far from the first one to present this idea, but it’s really great and perhaps some of you out there have yet to discover it. All you need is a soap dispenser pump (reuse one from your last soap bottle or purchase one from a supplier like onedreamdesign.com), a mason jar, and the jar’s lid. It is also helpful to have a drill, as you will need to create a hole about half and inch wide to accommodate the soap pump. Other supplies you may want to have on hand include scissors, a marker to mark where you will drill the hole, and some 2 part epoxy to seal the cap of the soap pump to the jar of the lid.
(via Apartment Therapy)
Directions:
1. Use marker to measure and mark a circle in the lid of the mason jar the width of you soap dispenser pump
2. Drill hole where you marked in lid of mason jar
3. Mix epoxy and apply to the lower rim of the soap dispenser pump
4. Insert the pump dispenser through the jar lid (if the tube is too long for the jar, just snip it to size with some scissors)5. Let the epoxy dry according to the instructions
7. Fill with your favorite liquid soap – and enjoy!Here are some examples of what you can create:

If you don’t have a Mason jar they are pretty easy to find at thrift stores.

So cute right? I think I’ll be making a couple for my mom for Mother’s Day!
