#1 – Rattan Grapevine Outdoor String Lights
This set of outdoor rattan grapevine lights add style and sophistication to any deck, porch, or patio.
Hang one or more strings (they connect together to make a longer string) to your outdoor space to create subtle mood lighting on warm evenings. The lights can also be hung from trees along your driveway or trees in a garden. Add them to a trellis or an arbor to light your favorite outdoor plants. While these lights were made for outdoor use, you could also use them indoors – in a bedroom, entry way, or tucked into the branches of a large indoor plant. There are lots of ways to use these lights!
#2 – Coir and Vinyl Door Mat (Blank)
Okay. I know. This looks like a simple, inexpensive sisal door mat. And it is. But… It has endless possibilities!
Use this door mat outside on your front entry to catch mud and spring debris on shoes before tracking into the house. This plain rug has a natural, boho look to it, and will fit with any decor. You can also take it up a step by customizing the rug with paint! Either free-form paint a greeting onto the rug, or use stencils to create text or patterns. Your imagination is the only limitation! This natural coir rug takes paint like a charm – and the paint lasts even with repeated use as a door mat. This inexpensive door mat gives you the opportunity to have more than one – one for each season of the year! What will YOU paint on this plain door mat?
#3 – Indoor / Outdoor Vintage Style Drinking Glasses
This set of beverage glasses has vintage flair!
In anticipation of Spring and Summer, I’ve been searching for a set of beverage glasses to use on our front courtyard patio this year. The patio decor is a modern Meditteranean style in mostly black and white, with bright green as an accent color. I was hoping to find glasses that were unique, unusual, classy, and that were either true vintage or had the vintage look. I’ve looked at countless pages of stores online and then I spotted this set in a Google Image Search! The bright green is perfect, and the style is simply gorgeous! I can’t wait to serve handmade limeade, Summer Slush, and other refreshing beverages in these glasses!
The glasses will be nice for using inside, too, and will fit right in among the jungle of houseplants we have in our home. These glasses can be used for every-day use, for patio parties, backyard BBQs and picnics. They would also look great on a party table as holders for utensils and even as vases for fresh-cut flowers. Lots of ways to enjoy these beautiful glasses!

You can find product links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.
NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found. I enjoy sharing these fun finds with you, and hope you find them interesting, too!
