THE NEST: PEONIES -- Page 25
We’ll show you how to get flirty, fragrant peonies to put on a show indoors. You can make floral water to use as a linen spray bottled beautifully for a perfect Mother’s Day gift, or create a peony pillow using an inexpensive iron-on transfer pencil. Also in The Nest, Country Home redecorates with eBay and repurposes an old suitcase to organize crafts projects.

COLLECT IT: COSTUME JEWELS -- Page 51
A menagerie of necklaces, brooches, bracelets and earrings are what we love to collect this month. Costume jewelry pieces add a glitzy punch to a casual outfit or a more elegant ensemble. Most are abundant and affordable, though designer pieces can be a pretty penny. Check out our array of bling in spectacular colors and designs
