With the summer well installed – it’s over 27ºC this afternoon – we all think about weekends at the cottage. I spotted outdoor items at Indigo that could either add something new to the decor of your cottage or make a nice gift to your hosts.

wasp traps in jewel tones at Indigo

I will equip our terrace with a couple of those wasp traps in jewel tones. I did not buy them right away since I was not sure on which color to get. Colored glassed wasp traps are preferable since they hide the dead bodies. The wasp traps are priced at  2 for $20 CAD, or $12.95 each.

classic lawn games and pesto set at indigo

Or you can bring classic lawn games to provide hours of fun. The Pesto Kit provides the pestle and mortar, a recipe book and basil seeds. All those are only available in stores. I really wish that Indigo would add their home and gift sections to their Web site.

    I love the wasps traps. What a decorative way to trap the pesky wasps.
