What Do Your Pets Do?

What kinds of things do your pets do during the day?

Lounge around with their tongues out?






Or "ask politely" to go outside?





Do they mind their own little business?




Or make it their business to mind yours?





Are they proper gentlemen at all times?





Or at little more relaxed....






Mine tend to show up anywhere, attitude and all....




Good thing they're all quite cute....




Who could tolerate such behavior otherwise? :)



What do your pets do during the day?

Sweet Easter Wreath

My favorite thing about Easter decorating is the colors.

Bright blues.  Minty greens.  Soft pinks.  From bolds to pastels, they all belong together on this special holiday.

And on my Easter wreath for this year.




I love starting with a little pile of this and that and seeing what comes together.






One paper mache egg smeared with blue and white paint.  Two others decoupaged with strips of pretty paper.  A little nest of twigs.  Bright blue willows.





A little white crocheted doily.






And of course, yellow yarn. 



Colors and textures brightening my day.




Happy Easter!

Review and Giveaway with Jonathan's Spoons!



I'm absolutely of the belief that cooking should be a fun experience, not a chore.  One way I make this possible is to try to use the best products and tools possible in the process of cooking.

This is why I'm extremely excited about today's review and giveaway.  Jonathan's Spoons, out of Kempton, Pennsylvania, combines the elements I love in a product:  functionality and beauty.  Not only that, but their products are handcrafted and made in the U.S.  Beautiful, functional, handmade, and home-grown.  What a dream!





With a love of creating and a lifetime of inspiration, Jonathan began his spoon operation in 1979.  The spoons have transformed through the years, expanded, and become the full-untensil line of today.   Read the entire inspiring story here.




According to Jonathan, "My utensils have a unique sense of balance and warmth because they are designed with the hand and purpose in mind."  His shop employs ten workers who supply all the hand-crafted spoons for his operation.  He and his wife Julia exhibit their spoons at craft shows around the country.

And just look at their cute office!




Jonathan's Spoons offers many fun collections.  I love the unique elegance of the Flame Blackened Collection....




And the fun, casual style of the these spiral utensils.





But, the Cat Tail Collection is absolutely my favorite.





Perhaps what Jonathan's Spoons is most famous for is their lazy spoons.  The notched side alows you to rest the spoon directly on the pot or pan to cut down on messes.




For this review, I received one of these fantastic lazy spoons.





The fire-burned edges make them beautifully unique.



This 12-inch spoon is smooth, sturdy, and lightweight--not to mention pretty in my countertop untensil holder.

Jonathan's Spoons has graciously offered to give one Till Death Do Us Part reader their very own lazy spoon.

Giveaway with Farmhouse Wares!


I have a new favorite place to dream online: Farmhouse Wares.

The clean, simple designs of Farmhouse Wares are undeniably authentic while being remarkably stylish.

And isn't that the beauty of farm life?  It's the perfect marriage of aesthetics and practicalities.




I can't imagine any cottage or farmhouse where this glass-drying rack or wire gathering basket wouldn't look right at home.

The vision of Farmhouse Wares is best summed up by Betsy, proprietor extraordinaire and lover of all things farm:

"My Dad always dreamed of owning a farm. Like most of us, he tabled that dream and went off to work every day at an office job. In his mid-life he bought a place in the country and started raising chickens, goats and a pig or two....He taught me to live a down-to-earth lifestyle filled with practical things that have lasting quality....

Now a parent myself, I am striving to surround my family with the values of living a simplified lifestyle. Like my Dad, I find beauty in things that are practical and useful in everyday life. Items that recall simpler times, with a slightly more nostalgic feel to them capture my heart....I believe home is the place that keeps us centered and gratified. I also believe the simple pleasures in life provide much needed sustenance. Our products help you rediscover clean, simple, comfortable living. Our fresh, farmhouse style has an inviting vintage feel with plenty of practicality--perfect for any home. This is my dream come true."

The vision of Betsy and her father is clear in their products.




Like this rustic iron chandelier, a simple yet beautiful way to light your table, and this dainty yet practical enamel cup and soap holder.


This grain-sack table runner is full of rustic charm....



And people from the country and city alike will notice these exquisite cupcake stands, which were featured in Bride Magazine!
