How to get out & DO Earth week.
What are YOU doing to celebrate Earth Week?
We thought we’d give our customers a present: a whole week packed full of sales!
Hope you’ve been taking advantage of the huge discounts thus far this week.
___________________________________________
Aside from the week’s worth of sales (!!), we are focused on the Earth this week - preserving it by shopping secondhand, cultivating it (get out there and plant a tree!), and enjoying it. With the weather primed and ready for being outdoors, and growing beautiful and delicious things, we put together a few items to get you started…
Start with a secondhand tv cabinet. This one was priced at only $15.00!
Have it in your garage, or out on the patio to store all the gardening or entertaining items you’ll need.
For entertaining - start with a simple table
& make your way through our departments to create a backyard gathering to envy. Tablecloths & napkins, strung lights, serving dishes, pitchers/decanters, chairs.
We kinda love entertaining - check out our posts on:
- the glassware you need for a great bar setup.
- DIY outdoor lights
- Setting a gorgeous outdoor themed table.
Headed outdoors? Grab a sun hat. (Check out our hat post from last week!)
Our book sections are well-organized so you can find just the help you need to Do It Yourself.
For your tiny herb garden sprouts or big blooming bushes there’s different shapes & sizes
— tall, short, square, round or put your pretty flowers all in a row.
Outfits aren’t the only thing that can look great dressed up & coordinated.
Give your potted plants a little pop with matching lampshades:
Open on the bottom lets your plants drain.
A little weather resistant clear spray and you’re good to go.
Stack your flowers for the season or display your appetizers for a get together-
racks to stack are all over our housewares section.
Flowers grouped in threes and placed at different heights make for a great arrangement
- whether you’re entertaining or just setting up a cute yard.
Here: ceramic cups, a copper bowl and a large wooden candle holder.
Pick a color scheme, and a dash of paint to bring it all together.
Banners & garden signs just further celebrate the color & life in the outdoors.
So get out there and enjoy those sunny skies!
