UPDATE: This post originally ran on March 23 2011, but with summer winding down we wanted to bring it back up for some late summer inspiration!
A fellow fp girl sent this to me a couple weeks back and i’ve been thinking about it ever since! I can think of a million reasons why these would be awesome… as apartment décor, as outdoor party décor, and – wouldn’t they be the best thing EVER for camping in general or at a festival? Just let them sit in the sun all day, and they’ll last all night! I am absolutely going to make some to bring with me to bonnaroo this year. you can buy a sun jar here, but you can make your own for much cheaper! What you need: a mason jar with a clear glass lid like this one from ikea, a solar garden light like the ones pictured above, which i found here, adhesive and glass frosting spray. start by spraying the inside of the jar with the frosting spray – this will help diffuse the light and give it a warm glow. don’t spray the lid though!
Last image. Lighting Ideas for an Outdoor Wedding. As you may have gathered if you are a regular reader of the blog, I love outdoor weddings!
I love everything about them (apart from the British weather) But one of the things I love most is the lighting. (photo source) The lighting in an outdoor wedding can not only form a functional aspect to the day but create a beautiful form of decoration. In the summer months it may not get dark till 10pm but as dusk falls it’s time to get out your tea lights, fairy lights……whatever takes your fancy and add another level of atmosphere to your wedding. As a wedding planner, one fo my jobs is to light the tealights and make sure all the outdoor lighting is set up. (photo source) DIY Grapevine lighting balls ...What a BRIGHT idea ! New Here?

Every year I pick a few of my favorites, set aside a few hours and plant an herb garden in a sunny corner of the backyard. I mix in lots of heirloom tomatoes, some squash, and my favorite thing of all…lemon cucumbers. I’ve ordered my herbs and vegetables already from White Flower Farm. They have the best selection of quality plants. They hold your order and ship when the season is right for the area you live in, and if a plant might not grow in your area they will tell you!
Last year I ordered the windowsill herb garden from White Flower Farm and now I’m ready to plant it again with fresh herbs. I even have a marker that says “Bunny Patch!” If you’d like to make some too, we’re going to show you how!

The old becomes new: A new variation on the outdoor lantern.
We have had an unusually warm winter in Michigan this year, and while the temps have been nice, I have had to hold off on this project idea until we got a cold snap. We finally got some snow and cold earlier this week, so I was able to try out this fun winter project. I had pinned a product called Globe Ice Lantern Kits a few months back recognizing that I could DIY them at home. Originally priced at nearly $30 for a kit that makes 6 lanterns, I think they are very reasonable for a small batch. If you are making several (say, for a special event or to light a walkway), you can make 3 of these DIY versions for only $2 worth of supplies from the dollar store.
