Green Your Thanksgiving With Recycled Centerpieces

November 10, 2009 4

I am trying to decide what type of table, centerpiece and name plates I want to set this year for Thanksgiving. We are having a full house (11 people to be exact) so I need a centerpiece that is simple, sweet and won’t take up too much room. I am in love with these adorable little flower arrangements in mismatched salt and pepper shakers from Sunday Suppers. Wouldn’t these be lovely with fall colored foliage, berries and flowers from my garden in them? A trip to my fave thrift store for shakers is an absolute now.

How are you decorating your Thanksgiving table?

A Space of Your Own with the Modern Shed

November 6, 2009 2

I feel very lucky to have my very own studio space in our house. I love it, it is my special little place that I can go to work. It is quiet during the day and lovely with three large windows that overlook my front porch and yard. The walls are covered with large pictures of myself and my family doing the things that I love. It is a lovely little space of my own and every time I enter this space, I smile. If I didn’t have this space, I wouldn’t know where to put all of my supplies and ideas.

Do you have a lovely little space of your own? I would love to see it. If you don’t, you may want to consider a modern shed. Aren’t they sweet? Modern Shed has some fabulous Eco friendly options such as denim wall insulation, green roofs and cork floor tiles. Hmmm, maybe, I need a lovely little snuggling space of my own. This one would be lovely.

I would love to hear about your space little space.

Snapware Glasslock Green Food Storage

November 6, 2009 11

The mister and I finally went through all of our food storage containers and unfortunately found that a lot of them contained BPA. We just couldn’t have this, so out they went. Then on our last shopping trip to Costco, we purchased two large sets of Snapware Glasslock and we are both in love. First of all, the containers are glass. Yay! Second the locking lids are BPA free and snap securely closed. I love the glass containers, they are fabulous and are so much nicer than any plastic ware that we previously had. I can see this set lasting us for a long, long time.

What type of food storage containers do you have?

Thanksgiving Planning by Sending Eco-Friendly Invitations

November 5, 2009 2

I finished making and mailed my Thanksgiving Dinner invitations today. I am huge fan of handmade invitations. Call me old fashioned, but I love to send and receive a handmade invitation or card. Whenever I am planning a special occasion, the first thing that I do is create a lovely invitation to go with the special event. I think it sets the stage for what is to come. I always make my own invitations, so I have complete control over what type of Earth friendly products that I use. However, if you don’t have the time to create your own invitations or don’t feel like being crafty, you can still send fabulous Earth friendly invitations.

I adore these simple ones from Tiny Prints. You?
