#1 – Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup

I’m going to have so much fun with this jar of wild hibiscus flowers in syrup on Valentine’s Day!

This jar contains about 11 hand-picked hibiscus flowers that are soaked in a sweet syrup. Use the flowers as embellishments in cocktails and other beverages, or as toppers on cupcakes or a bowl of ice cream.

The flowers can be used in both hot and cold drinks. We’re going to have a hot cocoa bar set up at our house on Valentine’s Day for our sons and their girlfriends. I’m going to set out these flowers to be used in the hot cocoa – sweet!

Not only is this jar of edible flowers fun for you and your family, it makes a memorable hostess gift, too.


#2 – Ceramic Flower Sculptures Wall Decor

Wow! Check out these ceramic flower sculptures for your walls!

Each flower is made of ceramic or porcelain with an off-white glaze finish, and is around 3-1/2″ in diameter. Wall mount hardware is included with each flower. Choose your favorites and hang them together for a dramatic effect.

The flowers would look beautiful hung on a wall in an entryway, where they greet you every day. They would also look nice in a guest bathroom or master en suite.  Hang them on a wall in your home office where they’re sure to make you smile.

The flowers could also be used laying flat on a dining room table as a centerpiece or on a kitchen center island. I’d also love to hang the flowers in the kitchen on the wall above the counters and beneath the cupboards – sort of an unexpected place where they’d look great. And, you could also tuck a flower or two in among your houseplant displays.


#3 – Hand-Hooked Indoor/Outdoor Rose Throw Pillow

This beautiful hand-hooked antique rose throw pillow is simply gorgeous. It reminds me of my Grandma – and that makes me happy.

This pillow is hand-hooked using all-weather polypropylene, making it mildew and fade resistant and safe for indoors or out. The pink rose against the green background makes this pillow look old-fashioned to me, which is part of its appeal.

This rose pillow would look fabulous placed on a chair on a porch, deck, or patio. It would also look right at home in a living room or on a bed –  bringing a touch of the outdoors to your decor. Prop the pillow on a bench in your entryway for a fun way to greet your guests.

Our dining room is surrounded by the green of houseplants – I’d love to use this pillow on one of our dining room chairs for an additional pop of color. I think the pillow would look perfect among all my plants.

How about you? Did you spot something online this week that you love? Share in a comment below!

You can find product links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.

NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found. I enjoy sharing these fun finds with you, and hope you find them interesting, too!
