Gettin' ready for market season!

We are busy preparing for the upcoming

farmer's market season!

We have so many new to us labels.. thanks

to so many of our amazing friends

& their friends that 

have been saving their beer bottles for us! 

We made our first batch of

Citronella for summer &

it was a HUGE hit

at The Paine Gardens art show last

weekend! Thank you to 

everyone that came out 

& bought candles! It was such a beautiful day!

 We will definitely have more ready for the market. 

Meanwhile... I just re stocked 

Blue Moon Emporium 

on College ave in downtown Appleton with 

so many great labels & scents!

Be sure to save the date, the downtown

Appleton Farmer's market starts June 18th

from 8-12:30. We haven't received our

 booth assignment yet but

we have been on Oneida st. the last 

8 years! :) We will update that as soon

as we receive it. 

See you soon!!! -Michelle 

Cat scratcher DIY!

We recently adopted our

 sweet kitty from the Humane society 

& I was surprised to learn that

they love cardboard. 

I had been shopping around a bit

for a scratcher for her & they were either

cheaply made or

expensive.

I remembered that we had some corrugated 

cardboard in the garage & a shallow 

box (as I save them for shipping out 

my inventory). 

I cut the cardboard strips the width of the 

box & removed the flaps. It took

quite a few strips 

to fill the box so that it was 

packed in there tightly. 

I hot glued some scrap fabric on 

the edges of the box to 

make it not look like a box

full of cardboard. Lol!

She instantly started scratching on it!

She LOVES it.. 

She sleeps on it, plays on it

& most importantly scratches on it. 

All for free! :) 

Trampoline DIY

We bought our trampoline used

on Craigslist & it is in great condition 

minus the spring padding. It was dry rotted &

torn. It just didn't look good!

We bought it last Fall so I have been

scouring Pinterest for 

ideas, ways to make it 

look better & for a new cover!

The covers can be expensive so I knew 

I could DIY something.

I came across the pool noodle idea, 

it was affordable & so easy to do!

I used 14 pool noodles (from the dollar store),

cut them to size with scissors,

slit the bottom & wrapped each spring. 

It only took me about a 1/2 hour to complete.

It looks so much better now!

You could also get creative & use 

multiple colors. I decided to go with 

just green as my local dollar store

didn't have too many colors 

to choose from. 

Enjoy! -Michelle
