Empty pockets

Man refuse to wear purses, when leaving home they just put everything they need in their pockets. Problem is when coming home - they drop everything on the first flat surface they see…

I was getting tired of having all these pockets containing at the entrance. I wanted a recipient to put the keys, the coins, and stuff like that when we arrive home. I couldn't find one, until one day, when I looked better to this (it's a meat styrofoam package):



It was the perfect size and shape!


Here is the result!



Unfortunately it's usually fuller and we barely see the image... but it's serving its purpose! J

Recyclable pot pourri ;)

Today I was in the mood to recycle, as my boyfriend says, I had enough garbage in the house… I really don’t like when he says that, but sadly it's true... :D

Anyway, I decided to make a little decoration pot to put some rose petals and pine cones.

Two weeks ago my boyfriend offered me red roses, but it was so hot than they died right away, so I decided to let them dry and use them as decoration later on. The pines were from the garden of our Dutch teacher, I thought there were cute and she said that I could pick up as much as I wanted…

I used  the plastic package from a salad I bought the other day and the paper bag from the fruit I bought at the market.




And here is the result!
