Spark of Loves this Week: Earrings, Cereal, Downton, Coats, Wellingtons, Envelope, Display, Web, Peppermint, and Star

These Earrings.

Because they are part of the new collection that is now The Peppermint Bee.  I recently sold BeeSpa and at first I was sad, but I see it as a very wise business move indeed.  I can't wait to showcase the new collection on the website HERE soon.  Stay tuned!  The earrings shown are for sale currently for $8 and are called Cotton Candy Earrings.  If you'd like a pair now, shoot me an email at mcwilkerson1977@yahoo.com and let me know.  :-)

This Cereal.

Because it's the first time I've found a cereal that actually stands by what it claims on the box.

This Bracelet.

Because it's from the 20s' and is the first start to my Downton Abbey collection I have started.

This Dog Coat.

It's the best dog coat I have found for little PITA.  I also caught them on sale and snagged another for the old grouch BAZ too.  Too bad they don't have them for cats.  

These Wellington Rubbers.

\

Because I got them on sale and I LOVE them immensely!

This Envelope.

Because I love seeing companies doing their part to be more green and eco-friendly.

These Displays.

  

Because they hang in a local restaurant and I love seeing them when we eat there.  It's always nice to see places supporting local teams.    Go Ducks!  

This Spider Web.

Because for the last few days, it's been a pretty sight to see.

This Peppermint.

Because Sonic really does have the best peppermints for after your meal.  Unlike some restaurants that serve cinnamon.  Blah!

This Star.

Because, anyone that knows me well knows I LOVE Macy's!

Eco-Tip:  Water is a valuable resource on our planet and as the years go on less and less, drinkable water is available   Water saving is at an all time high and you can do your part within your own home by turning water off and only running it when needed.  To calculate how much water your household uses visit the Water Calculator and find your percentage.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.

Five simple things

This Train Sign.

Because I love how Skylar has gotten into his train collection more and more over the past year.  

This Picture of Skylar.

Because it makes me smile when I see it.

This Moonlit Walk.

Because the lighting was just right for this wonderful picture.  

This Bumper Sticker.

Because I love displays on cars that are about the love of our planet.

This Discount.

Because I just love little extras thrown into a fantastic craft kit.  Hint:  It's from Brit+Co.

These Love Leaves.

Because they were super fun to make and took all of 10 minutes to do.  A fun craft that lingered over from fall to Valentine's Day.  A white paint pen is all you need!

This Random Photo of Skylar.

Because it was back at Christmas and I just can't get over how neat the wagon from Chafin Farms looks.  

This Hurricane Simulator.

Because it was really fun to watch Skylar experiencing a hurricane.  Of course the wind wasn't as strong as it would be in an actual hurricane, but it was still fun to watch.

This Duck Supporter.

Because I have really taken a liking to the Ducks since I have lived in Oregon and I can't wait to still support them when I move this July back south.

This Pumpkin.

Because it lasted a long time for me, and I am sad to say, it was put to rest in the yard compost bin this afternoon.  I have had it since October and I was sad to see it go.

Eco-Tip:  Pack a daily lunch that's waste-free.  Try approaches such as silverware, reusable napkins, and food that doesn't require packaging such as grapes, crackers, a sandwich.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.

The brave little inch-worm

This poor little inch-worm was holding on for dear life to this little twig as the rain was pounding down on top of it.  We loved the fact that the little worm was fighting with all its might to stay attached to the twig. What a brave little worm.

Eco-Tip:  Look to used items or vintage items over new.  Used and vintage items require no new materials to make and most items still have life left in them.  And vintage items are actually really neat to have around.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.

Spark of Loves this Week: Feeder, Flag, Sign, Plants, Bottles, Flowers, Stove, Sill, Board, and Pin

This Corn Feeder.

Because it's been feeding the neighborhood squirrels and the cantankerous blue jay that has "owned" my yard.  

This Flag.

Because it's the flag I put up during the fall and winter season till spring hits and I know I will be taking it down soon.  I can't wait for spring!

This Door Sign.

Because I wish more people would mind the sign and actually do it.  My poor area rug has had enough.  *sigh*

These House Plants.

Because I grew the succulents from other cuttings and they survived.  And my Thanksgiving/Christmas cactus is been a bit confused this season because of the weather.  It has bloomed three times already!

These Empty Bottles.

Because I love what comes in them and I love them even more when they are empty and sitting on my window sill.

These Dried Flowers.

Because they gave me a reason to keep them around and on display.

This Stove Setup.

Because I think it looks lovely and reminds me of the countryside when I cook.  

This Window Sill.

Because it's the perfect spot for my rosemary and avocado trees.

This Chalkboard.

Because it's made from a poster board frame and we love it!  It's still not finished, but it works for right now.

This HoneyBee Pin.

 Because it was given to me from an antique shop owner during my trip with John back in December   I ended up leaving it on the visor of the rental car and I was quite upset.  John called the lost and found department of Avis, as did I, and they found it, retrieved it, and mailed it promptly back to me.  I am so very grateful.

Eco-Tip:  Buy only what you need and try to live within your means.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.
