Spring Monogram Wreath

Combined this TaiPan wreath and little 'S' initial plaque together for a cheery spring look

Loving the friendly touch it adds to my front door :)

The daisy wreath was $22.97 and the initial plaque was $15.99 (I believe)- not bad price wise!

Last weekend Sam and I snuck away to St. George for a few days, and while we were there, I was able to visit Heritage Home and Gardens! They always steal the show at The St. George Parade of Homes show. Love their interior design. Beautiful taste.

When I saw these wreaths (below) on their doors, I was so happy when they found me an 'S'!

Their store is lovely! It smelled amazing too! Right now they are hosting a volcano giveaway on their instagram @heritagehomeandgarden - go follow them and enter! And go meet their friendly, talented owners and staff too if you're ever in the area.

And how about this drum pendant? Sooo pretty.

Hope you have a great week! It's supposed to get up to 75 degrees today here! Yay!!

Easter Wheat Grass Tutorial

it's time again to begin growing your easter spring grass!

here's how:

fill a solid container (no holes in the bottom) with vermiculite potting soil (i use miracle grow brand-just the regular blend, not the moisture control kind found at any hardware store or garden section) and cover generously with fresh wheat (depending on how much grass you want to grow, i'd say recommend buying at least 3 cups at any health food store in their bins with scoops. i just use the wheat that i buy in big bags for grinding to make bread) aprox 1/4-1/2" deep - enough to cover the vermiculite completely.

water with a light spray slowly, making sure it seeps in well without overflowing. when water starts to barely pool on top, you have enough water.

cover with plastic wrap to hold in heat and moisture. water lightly to moisten each day in a sunny spot in your home. and once fully sprouted, remove the plastic and let grow!

continue to water each day :)

this image above is the grass at approximately day 10.
