Check out this Beautiful Hand Blown Glass Hummingbird Feeder, I think it’s wonderful. It’s made of multi-colored hand blown glass. I think it would look great in the garden, and not detract from your garden’s appearance.

I’m always on the lookout for unique garden items. A hummingbird feeder like this one would blend in with the flowers around it not stick out like a sore thumb.

It would also make a great gift if you’re looking for a present for a gardener for Valentine’s day, or a birthday.

I love the flowers, and the blown glass shape. I bet my hummingbird friends would love it to filled with sweet treats.

Once you start munching on these you won’t be able to stop.
Ingredients:
1 Cup vegetable oil
1 package ranch salad dressing mix
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 packages (10 oz. each) mini-pretzels

Combine oil, dressing mix, garlic salt, and cayenne. Divide pretzels between ungreased 15×10x1 baking pan. Pour oil mixture over pretzels, stir to coat. Bake at 200` for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until golden brown. Stirring occasionally. Cool completely. Store in an air tight container.

I have more recipes at my Superbowl Party Lens.

I’m hosting a couple blog giveways this in January on my other blogs.

The trend in home decorating has been going green in the last few years, and 2008 looks like it will continue that trend. Earth friendly decor continues to gain leverage in the home decorating area. Recycled items, reclaimed wood, natural, and organic decorating ideas continue to gain ground on more conventional items.

 

Earthy, garden inspired tones are also popular in 2008, beautiful greens, browns, saffron yellows, iris blues, and lavenders reign this year.

 

People are looking for natural textures when shopping for home decor, natural stone, bamboo, raffia, and clay are all popular home decorating items.

 

I’m a huge fan of earth friendly tones, and environment friendly decorating, so lets hope the trend continues.
