In fact frugal living has really become a huge part of our day to day routines! We have recently started to create items such as handmade jewellery, organic bodycare products and using logs we find from the ground to create various table decorations. This blog has been created to show you what we have been making, our ideas, what we are up to in general and what inspires us - that little part of our life filled with rustic treasures.Tumblr (3.0; @rustictreasures)http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cf4b2c01ed1ad05de74913abf95cce55/tumblr_mmnbxbd5h41qdg05vo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mildinthecountry.tumblr.com/post/50182493063">mildinthecountry</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>T-Shirt design for RedBubble competion, <strong>A Tattoo even your Mother would love</strong>.</p> <p><br/>See and vote here <a href="http://redbubble-tattoo.strutta.com/entry/2546203"><a href="http://redbubble-tattoo.strutta.com/entry/2546203">http://redbubble-tattoo.strutta.com/entry/2546203</a></a></p> </blockquote>http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/post/50189269022http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/post/50189269022Sat, 11 May 2013 15:48:14 -0400tattoomother<a href="http://authoritynutrition.com/11-health-foods-that-can-kill-you/">Processed Foods = Bad</a>http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/post/49502840816http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/post/49502840816Fri, 03 May 2013 05:50:44 -0400fooddieteating<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e75a121ae8e879fadef4a81b3263b922/tumblr_mkzu7ytLCP1s4bfqeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/post/49347970562http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/post/49347970562Wed, 01 May 2013 05:03:11 -0400community<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2a8ace29801b03058f0839bcfef8ece2/tumblr_mlmjc36t6H1r6gabeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Our mixed salad leaves are beginning to grow - bought from a garden centre at the end of last year :-)</p>http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/post/48556978755http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/post/48556978755Sun, 21 Apr 2013 17:21:39 -0400gardenplantsaladdiyseedsgrow<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d79e7d1a81c6ae40149a3ee2142e1bc3/tumblr_mlmbrwkC5A1r6gabeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>First time we have tried to grow garlic in the rustic garden!</p>http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/post/48544579408http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/post/48544579408Sun, 21 Apr 2013 14:38:20 -0400garlicgrowgardenvegetables<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7d5898c30d3efe4365cd11d1b7f67d01/tumblr_mlmauz0fbZ1r6gabeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Our Red and Black Currant bushes bought last year have started the year really well.</p>http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/post/48542921152http://rustictreasures.tumblr.com/post/48542921152Sun, 21 Apr 2013 14:18:35 -0400plantsgrowgardenfruit<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6cf7b96ad5777eda8369b7c7b103bbed/tumblr_mlmarsHpyF1r6gabeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Great weekend working in the vegetable path in the rustic garden, we’ve made great progress!
