#1 – Hand Painted 3D Ceramic Floral Jar
This ceramic floral jar just makes me smile! I love everything about it, and it has so many clever uses.
This jar reminds me of the promise of Spring and the warmer days of Summer. Its style is like nothing I have in our home decor, yet it fits perfectly. I currently have this jar sitting on our center island filled with small lemon cookies – that also remind me of Spring and Summer.
This jar has 3D flowers all around it and is hand-painted with care. The jar is only 6-inches tall, so it’s not too large to take up a lot of room, yet large enough to make a statement. the lid seals on the jar, so it keeps the cookies fresh.
While I’m currently using the jar as a small cookie jar, it also works great for holding candies and other small treats – perfect for a garden party. Use the jar for a dinner party and fill it with homemade buttermints for an after-dinner refresher. The jar also works well to hold bar condiments for a cocktail party – lemon, lime, and orange slices fit perfectly in the jar. Remove the lid and use the jar as a decorative vase for fresh-cut flowers on your dining room table. The jar also would look beautiful in a bathroom on the vanity, holding small toiletries such as Q-tips and cotton balls. If you wanted, you could even use the jar to make a soy wax candle with your favorite scent. There are SO many possibilities for this beautiful floral jar – be creative!
#2 – Artificial Onion Grass
Okay. Hear me out. This artificial onion grass might become your favorite landscaping hack. Do you have an area in your landscaping where you want to add a little height and interest, but planting in that location is difficult? Give these artificial onion grass plants a try! Just stick several of these artificial grass plants directly into the landscaping – such as landscaping rock around your house – and no one will even know they aren’t real plants. What could be easier?! You could group two of these sprigs together for a more full look, or space them out to cover more area. Either way, they’ll look great. The grass plants are 27-inches tall, so they give lots of interest to an area that needs height. You can even use these artificial plants directly in pots around your patio. Just place three sprigs of grass into two decorative pots filled with dirt and you have two interesting – and simple – plants to sit on either side of your front entry door. Easy peasy.
These artificial onion grass plants are perfect for any outdoor space, but they work indoors as well. You can even leave these plants in your landscaping through the Winter so they poke out of the snow and remind you that Spring isn’t that far away. Seriously. Give this a try. I know you’ll be happy with the overall look – and it’s one less thing you have to maintain and care for so you can enjoy your time outdoors even more.
#3 – Wildflower Coir Doormat
Add a touch of whimsy to your front entry this Spring and Summer with this wildflower coir doormat.
This doormat can be used alone or placed on top of a larger, decorative rug – either way looks great. The doormat features simple wildflowers that will fit with any entryway decor. Display the rug this Spring, then swap it out for a different style later in the Fall and Winter. The rug can be used year after year. This rug also works great in a potting shed or greenhouse. You could even use it at a garden party.
