Mason Jar Lanterns- Round 2…

In my previous post- “Preparing For An Outdoor Party- Part 2” -  I used salt in my lanterns.  I liked the look but wasn’t crazy about it.  It was too beachy for me.  Well, I searched the internet for a better idea and I found it…  Use bird seed.  I love the look…it’s more earthy to me.  I hope you like it too.

Outdoor Inspirations…

Outdoor spaces are wonderful.  You can be so creative in achieving a welcoming environment.   I really need some inspiration for my back porch so I found some outdoor ideas that are so beautiful and colorful!  ENJOY!!

I love the blue ceiling and the large bill board above the window in this space.

This old barn is so beautiful.  The red accents really makes it great!

A watering can turned birdhouse.  So very clever…

I love yellow flowers.  They bring a burst of color to an outdoor space.
