We’ve got you covered and we’re looking back to the 80′s for a little inspiration.

All arrangements pictured are $75, including simple mason jar vase, just choose your favorite song and we’ll make you a similar creation. You can order larger arrangements in the same vibe (say “Because the Night” for $125), but our delivery minimum this holiday season is $75.

As usual Walk-ins are welcome and can make whatever your heart desires. Custom creations will be made for orders over $150.

Life is busy, like dang. No one has time to sit in traffic just to pick up a Christmas tree. There’s more important things to do like watching Game of Thrones in your pajamas. Let us deliver, we’ll even bring it inside  and set it up in a stand. Don’t have a stand? Lucky for you we have those too!

Give us a call today to set up a time that works for your time schedule. We’re early to rise, stay up late and here to serve. Give us a shout we’re here to help and happy to do so. Sorry Brooklyn, this offer is for Chicago residents only.

You see, each one is a tender soul that’s well worth treasuring. Sure you can carve them up, but then they become squirrel food and ammunition for angsty teenagers to smash into oblivion. Instead, we’d like to share a few things to do with your pumpkin, other than carve it.

 

CONTEST: Tell us your favorite thing to do with a pumpkin besides carve it. For the next three days, Sprout Home will give away one of our crazy, awesome pumpkins or squash from our garden to the comment we like the most. You’ve seen how cool they are right?  There are big ones, small ones, black ones, white ones, some that look like swans. So make your idea great and share it with us. How?

You can leave a note here, add it to our Facebook posting, tweet it to us, or take a picture and tag us on Instagram (@ SproutHomeChicago). A pumpkin a day until the witches come out to play! Let’s hear what you have to say, folks! We’ll choose our winners each day by 5pm, so you can swing by and pick one out after work. Show us whatchoo got!

If you’re still a little shy about putting together a terrarium and you don’t have time to stop in for a class, you’ll want to check out this great little video by our favorite Chicago blogger, Nicole Balch, better known as Making it Lovely. She comes to see us for her terrarium supplies and we think you should too. Make them for yourselves or as gifts, just swing by the shop and we’ll set you up with everything you need.

We ran across these little fingernail lawns over at MAKE and thought they were just the most curious idea. Think of them as terrariums without the container! Here’s to hoping they can still zip their pants after they go to the little girls’ room with those bad boys! High five for originality! Check out all the details over at MAKE.

Stuart and Michelle finally tied the knot and we were happy to be part of their big day. It was a day to remember and the photos certainly show it. Plus, check out those blue shoes!

Stuart and Michelle have a great story about how the couple met. They loved the same beer, wore the same t-shirts and the rest was history. Any wedding is great, but one as adorable as this is one we’re extra excited about.

Ana White lives in Alaska and runs the highly successful blog named for herself. She’s been slinging power tools and making wood-working projects look inexpensive and easy for years and we took notice on this pint sized greenhouse. It’s perfect for urban environments, even though that’s not where it was originally built.

Want to start your seeds early? Keep your winter vegetables growing longer? This is exactly what you need! Don’t have the space? Convince your neighbors to share their space and help them build it. Greenhouse love for everyone! All the materials are available at your local hardware store even though you might not be able to carry them all home on your bike. Check out all the details over at Ana White!

We agree and think you should swing by the shop today! What are you waiting for? Gwyneth wouldn’t steer you wrong!
