I look at it across the kitchen and it makes my heart smile.Who woulda thought?
It’s just a recycled mason jar, but when you slap some paint on it, suddenly it’s the bell of the ball.Cinderella in jar form.And the poinsettia in the bubbly gold container is prince charming.. OK, that’s a bit of a stretch, but you get what I’m saying.. It’s a very pretty jar.. And it took almost no time.. And I like it.. More Christmas in a Flash coming your way soon!We had the unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on how you look at it) occurrence recently of being ready to buy the lamp for the nursery at the exact time that both my local Target and Pottery Barn, were both sold out of the baseball bat lamps that they carry.
I was really just going to buy one, but Chris had been insisting that he could make me one instead for the few weeks before that, so we decided to give it a go..It turned into a pretty fun little project and a cute little baseball-themed add on for the room.. Oh my goodness, friends.
It’s been so non-stop overcast here lately, so this picture is all kinds of terrible, but you can see the room is coming together pretty nicely now.
It’s to the point that Chris thinks it’s done (it’s not) and he keeps patting himself on the back and rubbing it in my face that I thought we wouldn’t have it completely finished by the time the baby got here.Even if you don’t know the name of that plant, go to the nursery when you notice that it’s in bloom in your neighborhood and find it that way!
There’s nothing worse than finding a beautiful, expensive plant that you’ve never seen before, bringing it home, and then learning after the fact that it’s outside of your skill-set as a gardener.Practice with the basics first until you get good at it!.
If you’ve used a plant in your garden before, and you know how it’s going to do, that’s a great bet too!I had some of these bachelor’s buttons at my old house and I know I could never manage to kill them, no matter how neglected they got, so a few of these won a spot in the garden too.. Buy smaller plants and be patient..
