Shallow Wood Crates For Bathroom Storage

1These are wooden crates trays that you could get at any craft store. I imagine you could also use the old pallets that seem to be everywhere with a little figuring out of dimensions. Then they are painted a coordinated color  and hung in the bathroom. These are nice to store some of the bottles that are inevitably on your counter or the extras some of us buy when we buy for a certain time or from Costco/Sams Club type places. Simple and cheap (or free).

Easter Bouquet Centerpiece With Hanging Eggs

10923279_925787530811510_6366958619494436770_nWhat an inspirational idea for a table display for Easter. Here long stems with small flowers were placed in a vase and colored eggs were hung from the branches. Very simple but very elegant. Makes maximum impact – think of using long twigs found in your yard over the winter and spray paint all one color or a multitude of colors. Ribbons holding the eggs could be of variation of colors to provide a different look. High vibrant colored eggs could be used with pastel colored flowers/branches or vice-versa.

Tea Steeping Times Chart

82b75ea9-8dae-4037-9f6e-fcc8eea9a5b1.jpeg;base64I always enjoy a nice warm glass of tea and I also enjoy different flavors and kinds of teas. I did not know that different types of teas should be steeped at different times to give optimal flavor. I found this chart and read more about it. I had always wondered why sometimes tea just does not taste just perfect and for the most part steeping times were the answer. Weak tea simply was because the time of steeping was too short. Strong and sometimes bitter tea was usually steeped too long. Use this chart and find the perfect steeping time for your favorite tea. This would be a good chart to keep in your recipe box or taped to the inside of a kitchen cabinet for easy reference.
