diy

after our trip to the farmer's market last saturday, i came home and made my own lemon rosemary salt. it needs to "cure" in an air tight container for a month or so before using. however, i did try it out in a marinade for shrimp and in a salad dressing this week and it was sooooo good! i am thinking about making a larger batch of it for christmas gifts this year. here are some photos of my herb salt venture:

first, i picked some fresh rosemary.

next, grated some lemon zest.

mixed my herbs and ingredients in the food processor.

and then stored it in this cute little herb jar. easy peasy lemon squeezy.

aren't these little jars the cutest? they can be found here. they were a birthday gift and perfect for the basil and rosemary salts!

and one more diy project from last weekend. i love containers. found this old drawer at the antique mall and loved the colors and the enamel knob on it. i put a fern and a creeping fig plant in it (i love this little plant. found both of them here.), added some moss and put it on our hall table.

there you go!
