Etsy Finds: The Art of Adam Juresko

I came across the whimsical, witty designs from Philly’s Adam Juresko, and well, now I have a major design crush. Here’s a few of my favorites–all of which I watched on repeat throughout high school and college (and between Heathers, Dead Poets Society, and the Virgin Suicides, it may have been a bit of a dark period for me). I’m adding these to my list of Etsy must haves. Be sure to check out more work from Adam Juresko

Coffee Sack Gardening Tutorial

Mark and I are city apartment dwellers with a lovely yard (almost bigger than our tiny apartment). This year I mustered up enough courage to dig a small garden but the vast majority of my plants are still in containers. The very helpful owner of City Folk’s Farm Shop gave me the brilliant idea of using coffee sacks for my root crops. Just a few weeks after planting my little potato spuds and plopping them in our parking spot they have burst up up and up.

Since the potatoes were so successful I have moved on to using the coffee sacks for flowers and large herbs as well.

1. Ask your local coffee shop for their extra coffee bean sacks.

2. Roll the sack down about half way (depending on how deep the roots go).

3. Fill with soil and your seedlings/seeds/spuds. I like to layer with rocks at the bottom, rich composted soil in the middle, and topsoil on the top.

4. Water occasionally, container plants dry out much faster than plants in the ground.

Happy (Memorial Day) Weekend

Not a lot of posts this week, it was  a busy one! (I bought a house!! More on this soon.) And we’re gearing up for some fun projects and a summer photo shoot. In the meantime, I hope you have a lovely (long) weekend. I’m planning on spending some time at the farmer’s market, going for a run (or a swim?), and spending the days with good food, friends, and firepits. How about you?

Design Crush // Blink

I’m a crazy pet person.  And I know some of the other C&B ladies are too (I’m looking at your Christa!).  So anytime I run across a beautifully designed pet product I’m immediately reduced to a puddle of mushy “awwwww”s.  Blink leashes are one of those products.  From the hand-dyed cotton rope to the spot on colors and brass findings, I’m totally in love.

Cheers Blink!  Your my design crush!
