An easy and inexpensive trick for a multitude of things– Fabric as paper!  Turn your favorite vintage fabric (a small sample or scrap would do) into envelope liners with this tutorial from Posie Gets Cozy.  You basically cut the fabric into an envelope liner shape using a template and then scan it in for more color copies.  No fancy paper necessary. Check it out!

Another upcycling great for your old bottles!  From The Martha and I Suwanee: Spruce up bottle interiors with glass enamel paint to create new vases!  I think I better start collecting leftover San Pellegrinos and Trader Joe’s limeade bottles from now on.  All this sea-foam-blue-green-seaside shades of pretty just makes me happy!

Such a charming number display, don’t you agree?  Just add color with single blooms (mmm, pink peonies!) in recycled/vintage bottles for an eco-chic tablescape.  Head on over to the Savvy City Farmer’s blog for a great and easy stencil tutorial.
