It’s close to Halloween…
Who doesn’t have some of these in the house?
Empty jars
Or some of these cluttering up a corner?
Try something new this year.
Jar lanterns
Bottle pumpkins
Both images from Pintrest.
Or string some little lamps in old milk or juice containers…
Plastic lanterns
Or… if you don’t like my ideas, have a look at StyleMotivation for some more simple decorating ideas
Usually vitriolic, at times bellicose; I'm not here to be nice
A weekly challenge from Reduce Footprints blog. I try to participate weekly.
Each Friday, something to think about
A walk on the natural side each Sunday (or Monday...)
The Apothecary - A place to find natural products and remedies
The Green Ink Bottle - A repository for my quotes
So how have we gotten so far off course? When the label of ‘green’ was introduced, it was seen as a mission statement; something that would entitle the customer to some sense of comfort that they product they were supporting (which was usually more expensive) was working with the Earth’s best interests at heart. Instead we have simply completed a full consumerist revolution; the label has been taken, assigned a cultural identity and used to sell a piece of a lifestyle that is intended to speak more to your peers than to subsidize an environmental commitment.

Thank for the great ideas and the link to more great ideas.
Halloween is one of my favourite holidays and I decorate quite a bit. Almost all my decorations are homemade, I have wooden ghosts and signposts, quilted wall hangings and placemats, fabric pumpkins and kitties. I like a couple of the ghost projects from the link so I may be adding to my collection 🙂

I love the bottles and the link you shared gave me some interesting ideas for around the house year round.
