DIY Reusable Coffee Sleeve Tutorial
Last spring when I was in Hawaii, I frequented the Coffee Gallery on the North Shore of Oahu. Yummy good coffee can be found at the Coffee Gallery and I would highly recommend giving them a try if you are ever in the area. Anyhoo…as a souvenier I purchased a handmade reusable coffee sleeve made from the burlap bags the roasted coffee beans come in. Originally my idea was to try and replicate this sleeve using regular burlap, but when I tried it was an epic failure. The burlap bags the coffee came in were a much tighter weave and didn’t fray as easily, so now I am on the…

Thrifty Thursday
This is the first of what I hope will be a regular feature on the blog. Each week I would like to showcase either a new thrifty treasure, or an idea that will save you money. Whenever I thumb through magazines or catalogs I make little mental notes of design trends, table-scapes, wall arrangements etc and then I try to replicate those designer looks at a much lower price.

Hot Chocolate Bar
Baby It’s Cold Outside! Here in my neck of the woods, we have been having record-setting rainfall and flooding. It’s downright miserable out there! When my kids get off the school bus, they are pretty cold, so I wanted to create a little something special to help them warm up. I am just thrilled at how my little hot cocoa bar turned out. Now that I’ve got it all set up I just have to refill the carafe before they get home and everything else is ready to go! Using canisters I purchased at Tuesday Morning, I added hot chocolate mix, marshmallows and some cute little candy cane sticks that…
