Dsolv Mesh Lawn Bags Make Working in the Yard a Dream!

Why are spending your weekends in the yard, trying to clean up all those leaves, sticks and yard waste? All that backbreaking work of getting and filling paper bags, only to have to do it all again in a week or two?!

Blech.

That's why you need dsolv mesh lawn bags!

Their inexpensive Starter Kit allows you to get rid of those awful paper bags and to clean up the yard in an instant!

You use the spring-loaded sleeve as a container and slip on one of the 8 dsolv bags that comes in your kit. The bags are made of biopolymer, so despite looking like large fishnet stocking, they are incredibly strong and flexible. You fill your bag with your yard debris and forget about ripped paper bags forever! They are strong enough to drag along your driveway even, so if you don't feel like carrying them, you don't have to - it's practically a vacation having to clean up the yard now!

The best part about these bags though is that they are compostable, just as the leaves and grass clippings that you've just filled it with are. So by taking out the paper equation, you are actually saving the environment by using the dsolv kit. And because each dsolv bag holds up to 45 gallons of yard waster, it's twice as much than a paper lawn bag. And because the sleeve holds the bag upright, you don't have to worry about it tipping over, so add as you go - even over a couple of days if you like!

dsolv has even gone that extra step and included an ergonomic handle so that you can carry your bags out to the curb - it will hold 3 at once, so you don't have to run back and forth down the driveway or laneway like you've had to in the past.

The Starter Kit includes a spring-loaded sleeve, 1 bag handle, and 8 dsolv bags. These items are all packed in a durable, fun pouch, handy for storage between uses.  And inexpensive Refills are available for when you run out of bags.

I don't know why you'd use anything else.

Buy a dsolv Starter Kit now and get your weekends back. Summer is going to go by like that.

Paper Blossoms Are The Perfect Dinner Companion

I am not much of a flower girl.

I admire them in stores and appreciate them in other people's homes, but I have a few low-maintenance plants around the house and that's about as flora/fauna as I get.

But when it comes to having people over and hosting dinner parties, I like to spruce the place up a bit with decoration and colour.

That's why I love Paper Blossoms: A Book of Beautiful Bouquets for Your Table.

This book features 5 incredible pop-up bouquets that will amaze and delight your guests.

And the best part? You never have to worry about watering them!

You can open this book flat to any page to reveal deft cutouts of flowers created by the amazing talents of pop-up artist, Ray Marshall.

Feel like the warm weather was so long ago? What about a springtime bouquet or a vase of lilies to brighten your mood? There is a lotus water garden (perfect for your Japanese sake-tasting party next week),a garland of roses (because who doesn't love roses?) and a tropical arrangement to bring the sunshine indoors.

Ahh, that's better.

Get yourself Paper Blossoms, the flowers that never die, for your next big event or to simply enjoy over breakfast or at the dinner table.

I Am in Love with Little Jane St. Boutique Stationery & Textile Studio!

I am completely stunned by the beauty of the products at Little Jane St. Boutique Stationery & Textile Studio.

The very pretty and whimsical designs are all done by one little lady - Alarna Zinn. This wonder from down under has created not only unique hand- designed, limited-edition stationery, but hand-printed ribbons, gifts and more that you cannot help but clutch to your chest, bursting with gleeful "Woos" and "Whees!"

Take the Heart Garland, for example (pictured above). The most beautiful, delicate and feminine garland has been created by hand, cut and stitched using recycled storybook paper. This charming decoration went up last week when we had a little get together of friends and neighbours and I love it so much that I'm not taking it down. Sure, I might move it around the house from time to time, but these elegant little hearts are a permanent part of my home now.

And the Cotton Twill Hand Printed Ribbon is just so sweet that you may want to keep it all to yourself. But I say share the love. It's just too beautiful not to spread the word!

The perfect springtime gift may just be the Garden Labels. You can pre-order them now! Made in the kiln and lovingly stamped and labeled, these are the ultimate gift for the green thumb in your family. I am going to use them for my windowsill herbs - who says you have to have a full-size garden to enjoy these beauties?!

Mmmmagnets! These are so sweet - I am going to send all of my closest friends some for their fridge. How can you not smile at these wonderfully made touchstones drawn with cupcakes, crabs, scissors and knitting? Awww!

I've got a lot of occasions coming up - birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I am going to be using these lovely Gift Enclosures and Greeting Cards to express my care and love.

The Royal Typewriter card seems to made just for me, and I know a gazillion girls that would go crazy for the Coin Purse card. The Love Ya card is simple and sweet. And Afternoon Stroll is sadly not going to be sent on at all, but will remain atop my desk. I simply can't part with it - the mood of this card just gets to me.

And that's how I feel about the entire line at Little Jane St. Boutique Stationery & Textile Studio.

It's just so damned pretty, I'll have to get 2 of everything.
