Recycling your used wine corks...

When the wine bottles are empty,what do you do with all of your corks? You could display them in your home in a large glass jar or basket and by writing on the corks it creates a wine journal of sorts, reminding you who you shared the bottle with and where...You will find yourself from time to time,rummaging through the corks and reminiscing about good times,old friends,and places you have visited in the past. Here are some other fun ways to recycle your corks that will add lots of character to your home. Enjoy! XOX Jill

Yellow Stuff

Yellow makes me happy...along with clean crisp design and white or neutral walls. In my first post, I  wrote that I once read that you should have at least one yellow item in every room in your house. Do you? Check out these beautiful rooms. They inspire me, calm me and make me happy. Have a sunny day!

RIP Whitney...



So so sad....One of the most amazing female vocalists of all times has left this world. And remember those movies of hers, The Bodyguard and The Preacher's Wife?  Both great flicks.
I am definitely dating myself now ...
There will be a tribute to her tonight on The Grammys.  Jennifer Hudson will perform a medley of her songs. I'm looking forward to a big bowl of popcorn, my pj's and my comfy couch.

The start of jellyellow...

Why jillyellow you may ask? jillyellow has been my username for as long as I can remember...

 When I opened my gmail account years ago, every username I wanted was taken and after much persistence google asked me a series of questions like what is your favorite color etc... and then mixed my answers up and came up with several  suggested usernames.


That's how I became jillyellow. You guesed it. Yellow is my favorite color. Its such a sunny happy color and I try to transfer the vibe and energy I get from the color into my life and outlook. Bright colors make me happy.


I once read in a decorating magazine, that you should have at least one yellow item in every room in your house. I love making my house warm and cozy so I always use warm colors in my decorating scheme....


Here are a few great images. All have a little bit of yellow in them of course!

Enjoy your weekend...
