Picnic Basket Box Gift Idea and Caprese Salad {GlobeIn}

Picnic2_650
Happy Friday! I hope everyone has everything almost done for the holidays! We baked cookies yesterday, the gifts are wrapped and today I'll be going to the grocery store and prepping food for my family that is coming over on Christmas Eve. 

Today I want to share a really neat subscription box company with you called GlobeIn. Their boxes would make a great gift idea for a hostess gift, January birthday (because it can be SO hard to gift someone after the holidays!), to cheer up a friend or just for yourself!

Every piece in the GlobeIn box empowers women artisans around the world through job creation and fair wages.


You can now save $10 off with a purchase of 3- and 6- month Artisan Box subscriptions with the code CURLYCRAFTY.

There are SO many boxes to pick from. The box that I selected was the Picnic Basket Box

They had several other great boxes, though:

The Cozy Box (Left) and The Memory Box (Right)

The Jewelry Box (Left) and The Entertain Box (Right)

You can click on each box to see what the handmade contents are and many of the boxes have great reviews and photos that tell you more about the quality and fine details of the box.

Here is what I received with the GlobeIn Picnic Box. On the website it said that colors would vary, so I received a different plaid print for my picnic basket blanket than you'll see on the site.

With this box I received:

Peace Picnic Blanket
Wood Travel Cutting Board
Painted Travel Cup
Bottle Basket


All of these were great items and I will put them to use! I know it is the winter now, but we have a lot of picnics on the floor at home when we can't picnic outside!

The wood travel cutting board is what sold me on this box! I decided to dress it up with a simple caprese salad. I placed fresh tomato, sliced mozzarella, basil and some garden seasoning on top. Delicious and perfect for a picnic!

The painted travel cup is pretty and will work great for travel and at home!

You'll see that the picnic blanket is waterproof on the backside, which is perfect if the grass is a little dewey!

You can also join the GlobeIn Club, the subscription is $10/month. With this club you'll enjoy highly curated fair trade products at only $10/month.

So, what did my Picnic Basket Box actually do?
  • It employed 60 handicapped artisans in Cambodia.

Creating a Wider Doorway

My kitchen has no outside walls. That means it has no windows directly to the outdoors. UGH. I love light, I love sunshine streaming through windows and lighting up my house. This was not the case in my kitchen. Last year I renovated the space and added a pass through window in one of the walls.  Now the sun can reach the kitchen - hooray!!  But it is still not a terribly well-lit space. Cue my desire to open the wall between the living and dining rooms - the dining room is the brightest room in the house.  That, however, will be a big job because the wall is a supporting wall (at least I'm treating it that way, even if the building inspector didn't think it was).  I decided to tackle the opening from the living room into the kitchen instead since I know for sure that wall isn't supporting.

5 Ways to Bring Spring Into Your Home

The weather here in St. Louis has gone from 70 degrees to tornado watches/warnings and now to possible snow/ice this weekend. Whew! I am SO ready for Spring and for Daylight Saving Time. Today I'm sharing with you how to bring Spring to your home sooner with 5 Ways To Bring Spring Into Your Home . Bringing a little Spring into your home is rather easy. You don't need to change up your entire decor, at least not yet... What I try to do is add little touches here and there. 1. Spring Wreaths One way that I bring Spring into my home is by placing a Spring wreath on my front door or on some of the interior doors in the home. My absolute favorite Spring wreath that I've done is my Split Pea Wreath below, but I'm currently working on a Tulip wreath which I'll be sharing in a couple of weeks! I'm also sharing a couple of other Spring wreaths that I've made below: Split Pea Wreath with Burlap Bow Some other Spring wreaths I've designed:   Simple Spring Hoop Wrea...
