Tool Holder Bud Vase

Cute project made with a scrap of pegboard, a tool holder, test tubes, paint, sandpaper & a stencil. I made it for a sweet friend that gardens in 2006. I got the idea from Hardware Style by Marthe Le Van, which also has a few other great projects & ideas.

Wrapping Up Decorations

Poinsettias at Stanley's

I haven’t been into Stanley’s garden center since we purchased a few mums in the fall, & I started having withdrawals when I saw them mentioned in Sue Hamilton’s article in the News Sentinel last week:

Poinsettias turning up in new colors, shapes » Knoxville News Sentinel

We got by on Sunday to check out their poinsettia assortment, & it is incredible. The have such a great shop, & the employees are always so great to give advice on your purchases. You should definitely go in to see the their ball & burlap trees, custom arrangements, & the blanket of poinsettias in reds, fuchsias & pinks before they switch them out after Christmas!
