Lemon Inspired Beauty for the Home ~ Citrus Series

Photo Source

“A Christian, who realizes he has been made in the image of the Creator God and is therefore meant to be creative on a finite level, should certainly have more understanding of his responsibility to treat God's creation with sensitivity, and should develop his talents to do something to beautify his little spot on the earth's surface.”
~ Edith Schaeffer, The Hidden Art of Homemaking


As the season of citrus is passing away to welcome spring, so will these posts. I hope you have enjoyed this series. There are many more ideas but those will be left for another time, another year.  I leave you with the simple idea of using them as a beautifier in your home… (Until they get used, that is!)

    I love the lemons in the glass cylinder. I have a slightly larger one and love to fill it with fruits of the season, red apples, green apples, green limes etc. love the yellow lemons! I enjoyed this whole series!! I need a lemon tree! I also enjoyed the quote at the top of the post! Have a beautiful day!:)

      We just planted one last year (but are thankful for the neighbors who shared with us)… We will see if it will survive. We haven't had much success with fruit trees :(

    Love this quote! I think I might need to write this down and post it up in the house somewhere. :)

    And I love your blog as well Jes. Other than the smell of a baby, the smell of lemons is the most delightful on earth to me. I'm thrilled to have found you, and will take some time looking around here today. ~ Abby
