DIY: Mason Jar Garden Lights
Considering the prices of garden lights these days, I've been looking for a low-cost alternative. Lucky me, I found a DIY for temporary garden lights you can make from only LEDs, lithium coin cells, mason jars, and a little bit of tape. The lights will be temporary, until the battery runs out, but you can always refresh your battery supply just for about 30 cents each.

Cool Idea: Lighting the Dark Garden
I've been pretty bummed about the time change, since it's usually dark by the time I get home from work. This means that any outdoor chores, gardening work, or frolicking with the dogs is done in near pitch black, or lit from sharp, glaring porch lights.
Kathy LaLiberte, director of gardening at my favorite gardening store, Gardeners Supply Company, has come up with a pretty solution to combat the darkness.
Desire/Acquire: Burlap Chandelier
Fresh off of my burlap bonanza roundup, which featured this Jayson Home & Garden Caravan Chandelier ($1,295), made of an iron frame covered with a burlap potato sack, I spotted a much more affordable version of the light fixture. It's certainly handsome and lends a rustic industrial aesthetic, but I wouldn't pay a penny over a grand for it — if that. Want to see where you can buy the exact same chandelier for less?

This Just In: Jayson Home & Garden European Flea Market Launches Online
Today marks the launch of the Jayson Home & Garden European Flea Market online. Thanks to the keen eyes over at Jayson, these rare finds — a mix of timeless European furniture and lighting, antique prints and oil paintings, gilded mirrors, hotel silverware, and more —have made their way from Europe and beyond to Chicago’s Lincoln Park. The market has been running locally there since April 18th, but that's no fun for non-Illinois folk, so I’m ecstatic to see it all just a click away in my browser.
Creamless Creamed Spinach Is a Healthy Thanksgiving Side
Michelle Obama has only been a resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for 10 months, yet she's already managed to set an example for Americans to eat more fresh food, from planting a garden to starting a White House farmers market.
Earlier this year, I spotted a recipe for one of the first lady's favorite White House dishes, a creamed spinach without the cream. I bookmarked it, thinking it would make a satisfying yet light steak side, or a healthful addition to a large Thanksgiving feast.

Desperate Housewives Rundown, "Never Judge a Lady by Her Lover"
Is it just me, or do the housewives seem even more desperate than usual this week? Susan takes some drastic measures to scare Danny away, which in turns sets Angie off with a few crazy antics of her own. Meanwhile, Bree's jealousy sends an innocent woman to the hospital and Lynette makes Tom look like a fool to cover up her pregnancy at a company dinner.
