Patriotic Rice Candles

Citronella Candles
There are many things I love about summer. But mosquitos aren’t one of those things. In fact, I’m a mosquito magnet. I can barely step outside at dusk without being bitten. And forget working in the garden. I have to do a full-on DEET spray down before I can tackle and yard work. […]

Leather Mason Jar Hanger
Would you believe that’s a pickle jar hanging up there? That’s right. An upcycled … or recycled … or repurposed … pickle jar. A very stylish one, at that. It’s enough to make me want to eat my way through that jar of Vlasic Dill Spears sitting in my fridge. […]
