Motorcycles and the Selvedge Yard

One of my guilty pleasures has always been this blog, The Selvedge Yard. It's definitely a man's blog. About motorcycles and vintage vixens and cars and everything... It's my cup of tea. Lately, I've been digging all the moto-inspired photos and posts there, and I just couldn't help myself from sharing them. I'd print these any day and have them hung all over my house. If I ever own a motorcycle, it will probably be kept in the living room or something amazing like that.

Home Garden Fascination

I'm an avid gardener... In case you didn't already know. I've already started work on a garden site at my uncle's house, but it has me dreaming of all sorts of possibilities.... Like these guys:

The second to last one is my absolute favorite. Can you imagine?! I would die to live in that house. Oxymoron, I know, but still. All of these spaces are so wonderful to me. I've been big into Companion Gardening as of late and want to go buy every book I can find on it. I feel like gardens are going to make a big comeback this year. Food has gotten more expensive and more people are finding reasons to get outside... so maybe, this will be a trend that sticks around for a while. What do you think? Are you ready for a garden???

New Houseplant Trend: Cacti

I know everyone's been raving about fiddleleaf figs and orchids lately, but I've got a new houseplant trend you're going to love. Why? Because the dang things are low to zero maintenance! What are they? Well, you might have guessed it by the title of this post; they are cacti. Yes, the prickly little devils are making a new entrance into the home, in many different ways. Here are some that  I pulled off my newest Pinterest board (it's called Cacti, in case you couldn't guess). 

You could start a collection of them....

Hang a photo of them...

 Or make them into an accent piece.

Also, don't want the real thing and really want to make a statement. Get a statue of one. How awesome is this thing??

Or, if you're in a super sunny, dry climate, why not add them to your landscape as well?

Maybe it's just my mood matches this post today, but I think this is the best idea that I've had for a while. Cacti will revolutionize my house plant collection. For sure.

That's right, folks, you can shop the Goodwill online. For those of you who say your Goodwill doesn't have anything good... well, now it can. Here are some lovely, wonderful, AMAZING things that I've found while browsing through shopgoodwill.com

Mind you, these are indeed auction type settings, but if you do a little searching you can find some major scores! Some of these (ok, all of them) made me do a little happy dance and wish that I had a couple hundred dollars to be spending right now....
