THE WEEKEND EDIT LOOK WHAT I OUTGREW
Happy Weekending!
Good morning! Welcome to the Weekend Edit! Thank you for hanging out with me this Saturday morning. I want to start with a thank you to all of you who show up to read The Weekend Edit on Saturdays.
It is because of your comments, suggestions, funny stories, and kind words I outgrew my email subscription plan.
What were you thinking?
My little blog started in our family room after everyone was asleep and before the coffee pot started to percolate. I learned WordPress, basic code, and that plugins were not referring to Glade air freshener.
I started with one-hour projects and tips I picked up from showing or selling homes as a real estate agent and as a homeowner. It is because each of you found my blog.
The email notifying me I had outgrown my email subscription plan was better than outgrowing my jeans or the reality I never outgrew my middle school-era training bras. Â
Speaking of bras this is my favorite and is on sale at Nordstrom (and on the way). It’s a little pricey if you, like me, grab the 6 pack on Amazon. It lifts and elevates what’s left.
WHAT HAVE YOU OUTGROWN OR GROWN TIRED OF LATELY?
WATCHING + READING + LOVING
- My friend Carol shared this super fun mason jar DIY. Fun craft with the kids or grans.
- Lynn shares these great tips on how to freeze/store all that basil!
- Manuela shares these repurposed wine bottle ideas!
- MaryJo shared an easy peasy arugula salad to step up from iceberg lettuce.
- I love Ramekins for these bite-size treats. Target has Ramekins 8 for under $18.
- These marbled mugs w & the Ramekins make fun stocking stuffers. Yes, start now!
- This tip is on repeat this week. If the bots are tracking our shopping habits why not make a little money? You can print or upload your gift card. I have a$100 (printed) gift card in my wallet to Homegoods.

FROM THE ARCHIVES
Shop Notes: I found a better price on the Ramekins at Target. They are the best little portion-control bowls for Goldfish and fruit. Oh, and I use mine to freeze grapes or to serve these bite-size desserts!

I live in upstate South Carolina and enjoy your Blog. Thanks for all your great ideas and fashion sense.
Congrats on your email growth
20 years ago I sold Longaberger baskets. My hostess gifts caused me to end up with 89 baskets. I used (some only seasonally) for years. I just sold 80 to raise funds for local animal sanctuary. I enjoyed them for a lot of years, but time to move on
What a great idea Gail! Thank you!
Congratulations, Laura, on all your new subscribers! Well done!
I began my blog 16 years ago on Blogger during the early days of blogging. I haven’t really explored other platforms or made many changes beyond the basics, but it suits my needs and I’m content with it. A hot weather week is ahead so stay cool!
Thanks so much for sharing my mason jar project, Laura. It’s so easy. have a great weekend.
You are welcome Carol!
Congrats Laura! Growing your email is so important- so well done. Thank you so much for sharing my arugula salad. I hope you try it. Happy summer friend. XO- MaryJo
PS. I’m liking that bra. Thanks for the tip.
Congratulations! It’s no surprise to me, I love reading your posts. I appreciate your shopping/sale tips too! 😊
I’m on vacation in Monterey with family. Talk to you next week.
