Random Things Happening Behind the Scenes at Bricks ‘n Blooms
What a week it was!
New Jersey had amazing weather all week long. The temperatures were more mild so I was able to start decorating the porches and gardens for fall.
I added cornstalks, sugar pumpkins, and some pretty fall garden flowers around the property. I can’t wait for you guys to see more.
It looks so pretty! Here’s a sneak peek.
I’ve been busy cleaning some plants up and cutting flowers. Inside my home is covered with arrangements right now.
It’s so pretty to walk from room to room and see all the flowers indoors.
Since my zinnias are starting to wrap it up for the season, I cut as many as I possibly could. Here’s a hand bouquet of just Queen Lime with Blush!
My cafe au lait dahlias FINALLY started blooming. It only took her all season long but I got one bloom this week.
Now let’s see what she can do before the season ends in a few weeks! I see more buds on it but hopefully, they won’t take as long to flower.
I also did a little maintenance on some houseplants I have. My monstera plant has been begging to be divided and desperately needs a new pot.
So my good friend Arden and I did a little surgery on it and went from one to three monstera plants.
It actually pulled apart much easier than I thought it would. Whenever I’ve repotted my tree philodendron, it takes a long time to not only get it out of the pot but to slice through the root system too.
The monstera was way easier. Since I now have three plants and don’t need all three, Arden got to take one of them home.
What I’m Shopping For This Week
It was a busy week shopping for fall decor, garden supplies, and a few extras for me! Here’s what I am shopping for this week.
Fall Gardening
- These garden boots are great in the mud! I have a pair but am getting a second one for the cabin so I can leave them there.
- I love wearing garden clogs like these because they are easy on and easy off.
- I need to replace my hedge clippers.
- And I’m getting a few watering cans to keep in each room of my home for easy indoor plant care. I love this gold one. And this cute copper watering can too!
Fall Decor
- This cozy throw blanket.
- These artificial hydrangea stems are so pretty! If you aren’t growing your own hydrangeas, these look pretty authentic and would make great fall decor.
- Nandina is so pretty in fall as the foliage changes. These faux stems would look great all season long.
- But I also love these faux eucalyptus leaves! Aren’t they so pretty? They’d be perfect in on my smaller vintage crocks!
- I LOVE this pitcher too!
Other Stuff!
- I bought this vegetable chopper a few weeks ago and LOVE IT! If you don’t have one, you need one! It has seriously sped up my prep time in the kitchen.
- This eye cream.
- These fall socks.
- This plaid shawl.
- These loafers.
- And this sweater.
