So not fair....

You probably already know that Clara and I were born without a thumb...
a green thumb that is!
Just to prove our point, let us share our hydrangeas...

Not matter how much time we spend on the garden taking care of them, this is what we get:

Lots of leaves....not one single flower!

or...2 flowers a year, no leaves, plant has not grown in the last 3 years!

or...do we really need to explain????

We got to the conclusion that gardening is not fair.
This is what our older sister, Ana, gets...
even though for her, the garden is just that green space in the back of the house where to enjoy a cigarette break!

So not fair!!!!..Maybe we should quit gardening and pick up smoking...

From now on, Ana's garden, will be that space in the back of her house where Clara and I can steal hydrangeas from!

What's in a name?

Some call it "Robin Egg Blue"

...or "Tiffany Blue"...

...or "Aqua", its Latin name...

Green Blue when trying to describe it....

Around here, at the beach, many call it Sea Green...

...and depending on the shade, even Turquoise.

We just call it our favorite color of the Season and we are totally hooked!!

What color is your heart painted this Summer Season?...

Burlap chic-ness!

Welcome ! If you are visiting from Kimba's blog and you are a newbie to our place, we hope you are inspired enough to come back!!

A little burlap goes a long way here at Nice & Easy...Do you remember this chair?..it's OK, go check it out and come back soon, in the meantime we'll fill up our coffee mugs...

Oh! you are back already, good!...anyway, with the leftover burlap we decided to cover a lampshade "skeleton" we purchased some time back...

Looking good, just a little plain...

Ahhh...perfect!!

We love our new French stamps.... found at only $1.00 in the clearance bin, they added just enough to our new shade! This beauty will make its way to the store pretty soon, if we can give it up, that is...

Our last burlap creation is this set of recovered vintage books

Priced at only $12.00 each set and available HERE...

they are finished with a black ribbon and you can even pick your own tag...different number, an initial, bird... the choice is yours, just let us know!

A totally cute and green gift for yourself or a fave on your list!
