When life gives you lemons you can make lemonade which tastes wonderful, or you can use them to scent your home. This weeks Practical Pinterest is a sweet smelling one, and simple to put together. Take a few slices of lemon, a sprig of rosemary, and a teaspoon of vanilla, add about 1/2 cup of water. Simmer on the stove to delicately scent your home.
Give your home a fresh scent, the nuances of the vanilla make it smells like someone is baking, the rosemary and lemon freshen the air naturally.
It was mentioned that this is the scent that Williams and Sonoma use in their stores, but I have never been to one of their store, so I will have to take the word of the pinner. I loved the delicate waft of vanilla, and the tangy rosemary, and lemon combo.
And wouldn’t this make a lovely hostess gift, a cute bowl of lemons, vanilla, and some rosemary sprigs? Here is this weeks Practical Pinterest.
Diana from Elephants Eye mentioned to me that it looks like Microsoft might be phasing out one of my favourite blogging programs, Windows Live Writer. If you haven’t tried blogging with this user friendly program now is the time to give it a try before they take it away. Everything Blogger blogs fights you on is made so much easier with this free download, I use it everyday, and I love it and I can’t imagine not using WLW to blog with. If you use Windows Live Writer, or want to encourage Microsoft to keep it, please go to this petition and sign it. Petition for saving Windows Live Writer. We bloggers need to stick together and let MS know how we feel about taking away a program that makes blogging so much easier. When life gives you lemons, use them to scent your home.
