I’ve been hanging wine bottles in crocheted nets as planters and as candle holders – the candle holder ones hang from wire rather than crocheted thread – and they look gorgeous! Make great gifts, too.

It all goes toward the Lions club (a secular charity). Anyways, I picked up this cute cottagey kitchen dresser for like $15 or something ridiculous, to keep all the non-epic garden supplies (small tools, garden gloves, mosquito incense etc). Over the years I’ve been collecting all the cute little floral tea cups that don’t belong to a set and using them to house mini cacti and succulents, all of which sit pretty on the display bit of the dresser.
Not really an adventure in DIY, but it looks so damn cute under the porch :)

Anyway, it was your name that caught my attention. I had a good friend in 5th grade named Sayward, and I as I dug deeper and read more about you on your blog, I realized you must be that same friend. Seriously, how many Saywards grew up in Santa Barbara!?! So…if it is you, I just wanted to say hello and I am now loving your blog!

P.S. I LOVE the wine boxes planters and have been scouring SB for a place to find them (cheap)!

Where does one get wooden wine boxes?

Flip the wine box upside down, cut two holes in the bottom- this works if his water and food dishes have lips- and drop the bowls in the holes. Google image: DIY dog dish stand :)

I’ve found this pininterest site with what to do with jars, cans and bottles and there are also some garden projects: http://pinterest.com/cunderwoodboyd/use-those-jars-and-cans-and-bottles/
also, I really love those lanterns and they are SO easy to DIY: http://pinterest.com/pin/222928250276069932/
Concerning putting the house together: Do you know younghouselove.com ? This blog has some very good, easy and cheap house fixing ideas – just to let you know.
I really hope you keep blogging – I just love your posts.

All the best from Germany!

commented before. I love recycling interesting containers for plants,
pen holders, shelves etc! Wine and beer boxes are especially cool, a
cafe next to my work was clearing out their back rooms and I claimed all
the old wooden beer crates haha. Spent the next few days driving them
home on my scooter (that was fun :P) and now they are my laundry baskets
:D
