A faux living wreath might sound strange…but  it’s a fun alternative that’s maintenance free!  Inspired by living succulent wreaths, this DIY can withstand sun, shade and zero watering.  You don’t need many supplies to make this cheerful decoration either.  And with the right faux materials it will withstand all the elements of the outdoors making it fun to hang on a garden gate, shed, or your door!  If you’re intending on giving it a garden flair…some mini yard ornaments will be a happy addition too!  Let’s get creative decorating our outdoor spaces!

Chive Blossom Vinegar

Chive blossom vinegar is as pretty as it is tasty!  If you have chives in your garden, you can make this condiment to use for salads or summer recipes.  It would make a lovely gift too!  Other herbs will work well, so don’t fret if you don’t have the blossoms on hand.  I’ll share some other options in the post…the basic tutorial is the same.  What I love about this particular infused vinegar is the gorgeous pale color and mild onion flavor!  So lovely for using in light salad dressings and it will look pretty on the table too!  Lets add flavor from the garden…
