Do you live in an apartment, condo or a high rise building that doesn’t have room for a garden? What you need is a ‘clip on’ garden. Isn’t this a fantastic ideas from The Plant Room? It bolts to your existing structure, giving you the space to grow your own garden. This would be a great way to live more sustainably and everyone needs their own garden, right? This little video will give you a better idea of what the clip on garden is like.
How about you lovely readers, do you live in a space that doesn’t allow for a garden? Would you use a ‘clip on’ garden? What would you grow?
Do you remember the Flora Grubb Vertical Gardens that I told you about earlier in March? I saw this fantastic DIY at Sunset Magazine (by the way: one of my fave magazines) of another amazing Flora Grubb garden, this one hanging. Isn’t it lovely? These woolly pockets are made using recycled plastic bottles. I would love to have my entire patio wall covered in these fabulous woolly pockets. Fantastic.
How about you lovely readers, what do you think of Flora Grubb’s designs?
I have to pull a few more pranks on Eben when he gets home from school, right? I love, love, love these ideas from Martha Stewart. That isn’t a sundae, look closely it is mashed potatoes and gravy. I have to serve that for dinner, don’t you agree? You can find more fun pranks to pull on your loved ones this evening over at Martha, she has a whole gallery of them.
What pranks did you pull this morning? What pranks do you have in store for your loved ones?
Happy April Fool’s Day! How fun. Do you have a special little trick up your sleeve for your little one? I dyed Eben’s milk bright red this morning using veggie dyes. He couldn’t get over it, he just kept asking, ‘how did you do that?’ I have a few more tricks up my sleeve for after school. Do you?
What are your April Fool’s Day plans? Do you have anything fun going on?
This week’s Earth friendly Etsy shop is Gabriel’s Aunt owned by Nikki Sherrit in Seattle Washigton. Gabriel’s Aunt is a fabulous natural perfume and candle shop that also specializes in lovely bath products. Gabriel’s Aunt has been in business for over 7 years. The candles at Gabriel’s Aunt are made without any synthetic, petroleum-based fragrance oil or colors. Nikki only uses plant-derived essential oils, absolutes, no GMO plant waxes and butters. How fantastic is that?
When asked what inspires her, Nikki says that she loves the smell of real plants, herbs, flowers and resins. She also finds inspiration in cooking and hiking through the Pacific Northwest. She is a huge lover of natural bath products and sometimes will combine different soaps and lotions to come up with something fun and new. Nikki also loves living in Seattle and spending time with her boyfriend and fur babies.
Gabriel’s Aunt uses all recycled packing materials when shipping to customers. Everything is somehow used again or thrown into the recycle or compost bins. She also recently changed her larger glass candle’s packaging to limit the waste. When covering the candles for shipping, she uses a recycled paper seed top. You can also return the candle container to Gabriel’s Aunt and receive a discount on your next order. Nikki is currently working to expand her line with more custom blends. You can expect more fabulous products to come.
Nikki at Gabriel’s Aunt has been so lovely to offer one of my fantastic readers a delicious and tart Lemon Bar Candle with Lemon Lime and Butter. Yummy.
