Field Trip ~ Going Junking
After following The Renewed For You Shoppe on Facebook for awhile and enjoying their posts, I found out they are only fifteen minutes away from me! How good does it get? I can shop local and find the kinds of vintage and rustic items I love, too. Driving up, I could see this was my

Plant Miniature Hostas in a Strawberry Pot!
After finding a beautiful blue strawberry pot at a garage sale, I knew exactly what I was going to plant in it! Miniature hostas! A great tip I learned years ago from a seasoned gardener is to make a watering pipe for a strawberry pot. This little trick solves the problem of uneven watering and

Summer Window Boxes ~ mixing annuals, houseplants and perennials for all-season impact
To create window boxes that will look great all summer, consider a combination of annuals, houseplants and perennials. Keep in mind the sun exposure of your window boxes when choosing plants.

Garden Musings at Our Fairfield Home & Garden
As I stroll through the garden, I love to note the small evolutions that have taken place from year to year. Letting the lawn grow naturally into predominately clover and violets has been an effort but worthwhile. It took a few years of digging up nut sedge and plantain by hand, but now the clover

Field Trip ~ Philadelphia Flower Show
Set ahead to the second week in March to avoid bad weather, ironically, the Philadelphia Flower Show opened on a snowy day and experienced Storm Stella midweek during its run. Despite the weather, it was worth the effort to attend this year’s “Holland ~ Flowering the World” themed flower show sponsored by the Philadelphia Horticulture

Loving Touches ~ Create an elegant wedding for less!
Want an elegant wedding but you are trying to keep the costs down and work within a budget? Well, I’ve been there!
