Finials are easily transported and stored, making them a great option for temporary, holiday decorating.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter where they are placed, candles give a relaxing ambiance to any space. When used properly, <a title="Outdoor Candle Lighting" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/candle-lighting-c-134.html">outdoor candle lighting</a> can turn your backyard or garden into a romantic setting you&#8217;ll never want to leave. When using candles outdoors, it&#8217;s important that they remain in a contained area, and are never unattended, so as to avoid any mishaps. Keep candles widespread for an overall lighting effect, or bunch candles in one concentrated area for a bit of drama.<span id="more-109"></span></p>
<p>Combined with <a title="Outdoor Garden Decor" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/outdoor-decor-c-82.html">outdoor garden décor</a>, your candlelit outdoor space will be transformed into a backyard oasis for you and your guests to relax in. Watching the sunset on your deck surrounded by candles, with deliberate wind chimes serenading you in the background is the ultimate way to unwind from a stressful day. Become creative with your garden decorations, and try something new. From the zany and whimsical, to the dramatic and bold, there are garden decorations for any taste. Step outside into your own paradise with these backyard and garden ideas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Living with a designer has taught me to never underestimate the creative juices of an individual. A neighbor asked my wife to help her plan a very romantic backyard. When I first heard that term used with <a title="Outdoor Decor" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/outdoor-decor-c-82.html">outdoor decor</a> I laughed. My wife gave me one of those looks that only wives can give you and said that I just had no imagination. Of course, I told her I didn&#8217;t need one with her around and she simply smiled and agreed.<span id="more-69"></span></p>
<p>They worked together for about two weeks before the big reveal and I must say; the backyard was romantic! They used a series of <a title="Outdoor Lamp Lighting" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/outdoor-lighting-c-85.html">outdoor lamp lighting</a> on the deck, the pathways and the garden that was by any standard stunning. I had no idea that lighting could set such a tone. Of course they had done some other things as well such as creating a lounging area with very comfortable deep seating as well as a bistro area for entertaining guests that was a little bit brighter than other areas in the yard. My favorite thing was the water feature using a bamboo fountain and soft lighting that made you want to sit with your sweetheart and relax. Now I want one!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though <a title="Garden Buildings" href="http://www.bevoworks.com">garden buildings</a> can be beautiful the real beauty lies in what they bring to the organization and function of running your garden.  That&#8217;s right, you run your garden whether you know it or not.  Knowing where your tools, soil and other items and equipment is at any time saves you an enormous amount of frustration and raw time. You can also do a quick look to see what needs to be replaced, replenished or repaired at the end of your season or beginning of the season, whichever one appeals to you the most.<span id="more-43"></span></p>
<p>While these things bring function you also need items that bring aesthetics and wonder into your garden.  I highly recommend a <a title="Garden Pergola" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/pergolas-c-63.html">garden pergola</a>.  They are structurally beautiful to look at yet still function as a sun barrier in the early mornings and afternoons when you will most likely be enjoying your gardens the most.  I love what mine brings to the garden on a daily basis and believe everyone should have things in their gardens that bring both function and aesthetics.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are struggling to figure out what to get someone in your family or friends and they enjoy gardening, let me suggest a <a title="Wonderful Garden Planter" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/urli-i-planter-c-93-p-1-pr-239.html">wonderful garden planter </a>that I recently bought.  It is cast aluminum with a beautiful weathered verdigris finish.  It is also 14 inches wide and 5 inches high with a diameter of 11 inches so it is large enough to plant a good sized plant yet still small enough to fit on most shelves and or a side table.  This planter is elegant in its simplicity and can be used as easily inside as out.  The aluminum makes a great sturdy container and you don&#8217;t have to worry about it getting broken like you do the glass and clay planters.<span id="more-35"></span></p>
<p>The beauty about giving a <a title="Planter or Flower Pots" href="http://www.bevoworks.com/planters-c-93.html">planter or flower pots</a> to your gardening loving friends and family is they never have enough of them.  Every year most people go out and purchase more because plants have either outgrown current planters or pots or they have gotten broken in the process of planting and moving them from place to place.  It&#8217;s the one gift you can give that you will know they need.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was hunting around a few months ago for a batch of eco-friendly <a title="Lanyards" href="http://www.compucardinc.com/neck-lanyards.html" target="_blank">lanyards</a> to do my staffing (card-creation related) activities with, when I stumbled across compucardinc&#8217;s website. I really needed lanyards that weren’t too expensive, and resistant to a GOOD amount of wear and tear. Man, was I impressed after I ordered a batch of 100 as a sample! The no-twist hook is great for hanging things that (with people jostling around in vehicles or just generally moving pretty fast) can&#8217;t really handle swiveling around while in transit.<span id="more-33"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;m pleased that I went with the <a title="bamboo lanyards" href="http://www.compucardinc.com/Bamboo-Lanyards.html" target="_blank">bamboo lanyards</a>, but (I must admit) I&#8217;m also curious about how the P.E.T. lanyards hold up &#8212; maybe I&#8217;ll end up recommending &#8216;em to a buddy of mine so I can check once he gets his sample order <img src='http://www.phunkyhandmades.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt="icon wink Eco friendly Bamboo Lanyards Prove Both Inexpensive and Strong" class='wp-smiley' title="Eco friendly Bamboo Lanyards Prove Both Inexpensive and Strong" /> . This may sound like a strange test, but the bamboo-based lanyards have proven to be fairly resistant to abrasives (don&#8217;t ask); but anyway, I don&#8217;t really feel bad about recommending either my bamboo ones or the PETs to him, honestly &#8212; satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve learned my lessons about area rugs. Owning a dog is why I first bought one. I bought dark carpets, thinking they would hide the dirt better. This was wrong. Navy, dark blue, and even <a href="http://remodelingideasetc.com/diy/black-area-rugs">black area rugs</a> show dirt more than lighter colored ones like tan, cream or beige &#8211; especially if they don&#8217;t have a pattern. I also tried buying colors like red and purple. This didn’t work either. I bought my first mat at Pier One and it was ruined in about a month. So, I decided to move on to something less expensive.<span id="more-27"></span></p>
<p>I started buying rugs at discount stores like Ross, Marshalls, and T.J. Maxx. This way I’m not buying <a href="http://remodelingideasetc.com/area-rugs">cheap area rugs</a> that ruin and tear up quickly, but I’m getting good quality pieces for not as much money. It all depends on why you’re buying this type of flooring. If it’s just for looks, it could be a great idea, but bear in mind that dark colors, surprisingly, do not necessarily hide dirt and cheap rugs do not handle high traffic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fall colors are out in force and it makes for such a charming vision while seeing the orange, yellow and red fallen leaves blowing around by the wind. The pines are shedding their cones and needles, too. A blanket of blond pine needles cover the garden and lawn making the mood very mellow. These are all moods and thoughts of our seasonal change. The <a href="http://www.decor4u.com/autumn-memories-c-8-p-2-pr-182.html">Autumn Memories Tapestry </a>shows it&#8217;s own fall look in this hillside scene with rich burnt reds and oranges along with the yellows and the big blue sky splashed with a couple of clouds. It&#8217;s warm and inviting style is sophisticated and brings on a pleasant mood and feeling, just by looking at it. It is 100% cotton, 53&#8243; x 53&#8243; lined and with sewn sleeve for the tapestry rod. It&#8217;s on sale and makes a great bargain for inexpensive tapestries.<span id="more-17"></span></p>
<p>European Tapestries are a delight in so many ways. With the help of the Internet we can now find them rather easily, whereas in the past you had to live in a huge city with a tapestry shop or go to Europe to find them. Now you can go to your computer and with a search on Google and a few clicks of the mouse your surfing the web and finding so many fine selections in <a href="http://www.decor4u.com/tapestry-shop-c-7.html">inexpensive tapestries</a>. Did I just say that? Many of these works-of-art are not cheap nor always affordable, however with the holidays practically upon us, there are many fine bargains to be had. Enjoy.</p>
