Cedar Shake Shingle Houses

Perhaps it is the cedar shake shingles that give a home a cottage feel.  Maybe it is the texture I love so much.  What ever it is, I love the look.  There is a product out there called Enviroshake that is a shingle with the look of wood, only made from 95% recycled materials.  

I posted about a similar product once before, click here to see.  Enjoy, Heidi

Get your Green On.

Today is all about the Green, since it is St. Patrick's Day.  If you are not wearing green today, guess what?  You get a pinch.  Enjoy, Heidi

I love how tree trunks have been used as tables and seating. 

Wishing you all a happy weekend.  Enjoy, Heidi

Gardening.

One of my favorite things to do is get my hands in the dirt and grow stuff. Another very therapeutic activity is pulling weeds. Some garden tips: wear a pair of those garden gloves with the rubber coating on the palms. Don't stand up and bend at the knees and waist to work in the garden but get down with your butt on the ground, your back and knees will thank you. Pull weeds after a rain shower, they come out easier. Take in deep full breaths of the Spring air, listen to all of the different birds and learn their songs and notice what is blooming even if it is the trees or just weeds. Enjoy, Heidi

If you give me a label, I'm not going to wear it.

In the last post I touched on the fact that I admire some unusual things. This image is a perfect combination of such things. Black, botany, nautical, natural, vintage, antiques, Bohemian, even some Gothic. Maybe I am a New Age Hippie? I really don't care for labels anyway, they are too restricting. Enjoy, Heidi
