While I’m on vacation, I love to comb a sandy beach, collecting pretty shells and beach glass all day. I’ll drag it home in an extra suitcase–it always weighs a ton! Once home, I sit and admire my salty treasures, wondering what to do with them. Then, last year it hit me! Why not combine my gardening hobby with my favorite vacation finds? I can arrange flowers from my garden with my shells and other beach treasures. I can even incorporate candles into the arrangements for my patio parties. It was a true “eureka” moment!
Seasonal Buttoned Pillow Top I made this sailboat panel a little rustic by tea-staining the sail of the boat, adding charm and an aged appearance. This fourth panel in the series is quick and easy to make.	For Your Country Kitchen Growing up in New England, we had ice cream almost every night! So now ice cream is a real comfort food for me. What could be more comforting than homemade hot fudge sauce for your summer ice cream sundae? This recipe is very easy and just delicious!
