Green Monday

All that I enjoy dovetails together.
The gardens and photography go together nicely.


My commitment to sustainable living is complimented by my love of antiques.
My homemaking is a celebration.

This morning I followed a page from the Green Housekeeping book.
I made dust cloths.

So easy to do! Lots of fun!

Combine two parts water, two parts white vinegar, two drops olive oil or lemon oil.

I gathered my things.
I have been saving my glass food jars.

I went through the cotton napkins.
Some were ready to become rags.

I soaked the rags in the solution for just a few minutes.

I rung them out until just damp and added a few lemon rinds to each.
I folded them up and placed them in my jar to age!

When I return from visiting my daughter they will be ready.

The solution was excellent for scrubbing my wood kitchen floor.

There is a new magazine in my city.

I was so pleased to find it at my market.

Finding green companies that are local is wonderful.

I am a planner.
Earth day is coming up.

I also found this book at the market.

I am learning.

I want to grow some more herbs for my medicine cabinet.

My husband found this book at the second hand book store.

We are planning the studio.

A catalog came in the mail. I could use a dryer.

I shall gather my things and make one.

I think I will make my bags too...I have an old cotton skirt that would work.

I reuse, recycle and restore. It all works together.

Happy Green Monday!
