I’ve been on the lookout for a simple notebook for work and I found it! Made from recycled paper and leather, these notebooks from Kate’s Paperie come is a rainbow of yummy colors. I am leaning toward Tangello for summer. What color would you pick?

Green Cleaning Kit Giveaway from Bon Ami
Although spring cleaning projects are coming to an end, routine cleaning is a year around task. When cleaning my house, I use products that are nontoxic, natural and contain simple ingredients.
Bon Ami is one of those products. I’ve been using Bon Ami’s Powder Cleanser for some time and love the results. So when Bon Ami asked if I would like to try out some of their newer products, I was thrilled.
One of the products I tested was a “cleaning cake.” It was released in a limited edition to celebrate Bon Ami’s 125thanniversary. I love this product! It took grime off our stove that most cleaners couldn’t remove. The cake’s strong but simple formula is not only effective for many of today’s household tasks it’s all natural. While not typically what you’d expect from a “cake,” back when Bon Ami was first created household cleaners came in these little bars and were commonly referred to as cakes.
I would love for you to test it out too and here’s your chance! Bon Ami is giving away a Cleaning Cake along with their Powder Cleanser and All-Purpose Cleanser to one lucky Simplified Bee reader.

Footstool in Schumacher’s Chiang Mai Dragon Fabric
A few months back, I won a remnant of Schumacher’s fabulous Chiang Mai Dragon fabric in aquamarine from Mr. Goodwill Hunting {great blog – I’m a fan – you must stop by!}.
This fabric is so beautiful {not to mention pricey}. I was nervous and didn’t want to ruin it. Therefore, it sat idle until I could find the perfect application.
This sweet footstool with brass curved legs was stolen purchased for $2 at a local estate sale last summer. This was it. It needed a new life.
With a pair of scissors and a staple gun, I transformed the once tired footstool. It ‘s now so Chinoiserie chic. I love it. I hope Mr. Goodwill Hunting approves too. Do you?
