A friend is thinking of doing something like this with carved table numbers for a wedding; do they smell too "gourdy" or "pumpkiny" once carved open? Thanks!

To me, upwards of 11$ per square foot is not really 'budget friendly'.

When I re-did my kitchen I went to the local art schools (several colleges close by have ceramic and glass studios) and asked them to save their scraps. Several weeks later there were tons from each location. It does take a lot more work to match the scraps and then organize them as an actual backsplash, but it's beautiful, eco friendly and definitely not 11$ per sqft.

You can find baby lemon trees on Gurneys.com - though they will probably take another year or so to actually grow fruit. I have dwarf lemon, lime, and fig trees right now (growing in the "self watering" pots from IKEA). They LOVE the sunlight so try to give them as much as possible. I can't wait to see mine actually grown fruit!
