5 DIY Fourth of July party ideas

What better way to celebrate Independence Day than with a red, white and blue themed outdoor party! This year instead of relying on the same flimsy discount store decorations why not try using unique items to make your party stand out.

Patriotic jars

Red, White and Blue linen napkins

Bring a touch of class to your outdoor party by ditching the cheap paper napkins and instead bring a stack of our blue starfish or red lobster napkins linen napkins. You won’t have to worry about slight breezes blowing them around your yard.

Watermelon stars

This is quick and easy viagra naturel pas cher. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to punch out pieces from watermelon slices. The watermelon pieces will be a rich patriotic red and the watermelon slices with negative star spaces will also look fetching.

Tie-Dye flag tablecloth

This is an ambitious project, but well worth the effort to make your table the toast of the town. Use white glue to prevent the dye from reaching star-shaped areas in the blue field in the center and surround it with red and white stripes using rubber bands. The full instructions are here.

Making Tooth Fairy Memories with your Child

We only have them for a brief time period. We watch them grow, change and move on. But for those memorable moments, we can create shared lasting memories that can be revisited, explored and enjoyed at any time. One such moment is the loss of a tooth.

Each tooth lost has a story, provides an anchor in time that brings you and your child to that moment of shared intimacy as you place the lost tooth into its packaging specially made for the tooth fairy to find.

Jacaranda has wonderful handmade heirloom tooth fairy pillows for just such a moment.

My eldest child lost his first tooth at six. He took the loss in stride. Most of the kids in his first grade class were on their 4th tooth so he knew the drill and was expecting a visit from the tooth fairy. My husband, wanting to make this a memorable experience, went to the store in search of fairy dust. He came back with glitter infused eye shadow make up and dusted a crisp one dollar bill with the glittery fairy dust.

I was reveled with stories of raised eyebrows from the less bold to the outright questions from shoppers as he stood for at least an hour at the makeup counter testing the eye shadow against his skin looking for the correct luster and shine. I tried to suppress my amusement as I dubbed him the official family tooth fairy. We marked the occasion with a picture of the toothless youth with his fairy dusted dollar.

A fairy tooth linen embroidered pillow is a great way to share the moments throughout your Childs school years and becomes a great memory. Every time you or your child catches a glimpse of the pillow, the memories and feeling will be returned and relived again. Make lasting memories with a Tooth Fairy Pillow from Jacaranda.

7 Tips to put the “Spring” into your home!

Spring is just around the corner (we hope) and that urge to do some Spring redecorating is starting to tug at you.

Here are 8 simple ways to put the “Spring” back into your home, even before the green grass starts to pop through!

Declutter!
Yes, that traditional Spring cleanup is underway and it’s time to put away that Winter clutter!Take the weekend to clean-out drawers, papers, donate clothes and household items you are no longer using. You will feel like the roof has been lifted and that decluttered living space will help you start the Spring off with an extra hop in your step.
Spring Cleaning.
We know you don’t want to hear it, but Winter can leave you feeling, ugh well, a tad dirty!Windows, floors, under couches, dust and dirt buildup after Winter with snowy boots and lunch crumbs being dragged across the house daily (well that is if you have kids or a really messy spouse!)It’s time to lift the cushions, pull out those couches and clean those windows. If you don’ t have time, hire a cleaning company or your kids.
Dismantle the mantle.
Take down any decorations or themed items that even remind you that Winter once existed. Yes, that picture of a snowy barn, Take it down! Christmas cactuses, dark pillows or any winter themed gadgets you have laying around to accessorize, put them into a storage container and forget about them until October.
Re-accessorize.
Yes you have a bit of a reason to go shopping, Homegoods, One Kings Lane, a Local recycled shop, whatever you like to shop for, find a few spring items to accessorize with and redecorate those spaces that used to remind you of Winter.
Pop of Color.
Add a pop of color to your home with just a few pillows, a bright colored peice of furniture or a new throw. Great colors to pop with are lavenders, greens and yellows along with robin’s egg type blues.
Paint.
If your really energetic and want to step outside of the box, grab a paint can and paint a room that will leave you feeling of Spring clean. It could just be a front door, a small room or even just an accent wall.
Bring in the Living Spring.
Buy a few great Spring plants for in the home. Some tulips, herbs or anything green. If things can’t grow outside yet, no reason they can’t grow indoors.

Make Your Home to Look Like Downton Abbey

Are you a fan of Downton Abbey? Maybe you dream of being Lady Grantham. Mahogany walls, crystal glassware, silver platters and the like.

Here’s a few touches to easily add to your home to get that Downton feel.

1-Incorporate a few nice china pieces.
You don’t need to display and use all your fine china set (think of all that washing by hand!) But use a few pieces from your set for things, such as the sugar bowl, teapot or serving platters.<a href="http://blog prix viagra pharmacie.jacarandaliving.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/china.png”>

2-Make use of trays
Whether it’s a small silver valet tray, a wooden tray for serving or a large silver platter, using things like this will give that luxurious feel.

3-Mood lighting
Try using candles and dimmable lights. If you’re not a fan of the open flames, try this battery operated candelabra for the same effect.

5-Enjoy the Fire.
Light up that fire place of yours for the ultimate ambiance. Enjoy your time there with a cup of tea or glass of scotch.

6-Set a perfect table
Use this guide to help you with place settings. Accent with charger plates or a nice table cloth and pressed white napkins.

7-Buy an antique or two
Buy an antique piece to put on display, like a sofa table, cast iron bell, or writing desk.

8-Create a library
While you may not have a large room dedicated to books, consider putting in a bookshelf. Don’t have many books or want that antique book look? Use these “book fronts” that look like old time hardcovers.

9-Nice Flatware
No, you don’t need silver, but having a nice flatware set that matches and has a classic look will do the trick! If you really want to have some silver, seek some out at a consignment shop. Usually it just needs a good polish to get it looking new.

10-Chaise or Chair?
Seek out a nice tufted chaise or leather tufted arm chair. This can be a comfortable place to unwind or read like Lord and Lady Grantham. This leather chaise is perfect for enjoying your fireplace.
