    A Mobile Garden

    What a handy product this is from A+R Global Design Store.

    This light-weight portable bag enables you to go from terrace to rooftop, from one address to another, rotating crops year-round. We’ve got a couple of medium squares growing all kinds of salad mixings now. All Square and Long BACSACs are based on 12″ squares; web straps and rods keep shape under the weight of the soil and provide subdivision of growing surface.

    Love it!

    The Mosquitos Are No Fun

    We have the most fantastic fire pit at my house. My husband built it earlier this year and we’ve immensely enjoyed it – except when it was 110 degrees outside!  However, we do have one complaint and that’s the mosquitoes!

    I believe – if this works – we may have found a great solution.  From Intuition Physician,

    One more tip I have for summer firepits/bonfires is to throw a stick of sage into the fire.  The sage scented smoke that the fire will emit keeps mosquitos and other annoying bugs at bay for the entire area.  We love it.  Usually the sage stick that we throw into our fire is enough, no need for bug sprays.

    Am ready to test this great idea!

    Fairy Berries for Your Next Party

    This. I love this so much!  Fairy berries lights for your outside party, swimming pool, etc.

    What a charming effect these little orbs of light make as they gently fade in and out. Scatter or hang them anywhere—yard, patio, table, garden, trees…they’re even water resistant to add a soft glow in a pool, pond or fountain.

    I’m thinking these would be really neat at a wedding, too!
