Happy Friday all!
Today I’d like to share with you a post Jacqui wrote for Period Living magazine as the first in her new 3 part series: Unusual Uses for Everyday Items.

I’ve shared a teaser below, but do click through to Period Living see the full post.

Sitting in a teacup it makes a perfect and unusual pincushion. A teacup is also a great way to display small garden flowers tied in a little posy- or plant a small succulent for a really cute potted house plant. Read more…
