Just wanted to draw your attention to a quick-and-easy craft project I spotted over at Home by Sunset. They’ve taken a plain vase and wrapped it with a natural placemat (reed, bamboo, etc.) for instant organic chic. Find step-by-step instructions here.

Now why have I never thought of that before? That is a great idea and definitely changes the look of a plain glass vase. I have some interesting dark wooden placemats that would look good like this. This also gives me the idea of buying some flowers. I am definitely in need of some.
My dog is howling at a siren – how he hears them sometimes is beyond me!
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw it, Kate!: “now why didn’t I think of that?” I even have some dark brown twig placemats that would work perfectly. Now I just need to buy myself some flowers!
Just wanted to say i just saw your name in the Sunset piece and ran right to the blog. I am a suburban Seattle gardener and am glad I found you. I’ll be back!
Welcome, Marie. So glad you decided to check us out! The Sunset profile has been amazing exposure – I am hearing from so many great people!
