FlowReader Combines RSS, Facebook & Twitter Feeds In One Interface
You can now start counting the days down to the end of Google Reader and be thankful that Feedly launched its own separate web service to fill the gap. Feedly is what I’ll be using come July 1, 2013 but for those who are still looking for an RSS reader, time is running out. Fortunately, the options aren’t limited and FlowReader is yet another RSS reader service that you could switch to once Google Reader closes its doors. It’s not just a feed reader though; in addition to letting you import your feeds from Google Reader, the service can also connect with your Twitter and Facebook accounts, allowing you to view updates from each. Users can also post to Facebook and Twitter from within FlowReader simultaneously. It also has a ‘save for later’ feature that allows you to mark stories in your feed for later reading.
Users can sign up for a free FlowReader account or use their Google, Facebook, or Twitter IDs to connect to the service. One thing you need to know before you decide how you sign up for the service is that it cannot import your feeds from an XML file; it can only import from Google Reader. When importing, your folder structure is maintained but all other things like stories you’ve starred in the past are lost.
FlowReader has an excellent and very clean interface. Click a story’s title and it will open in a new tab. Stories cannot be read in FlowReader itself, and will always open at their source. If you move your mouse over the time a post was published, a bookmark button appears, clicking which will add the story to your ‘Saved for later’ list. This feature is slightly buggy at the moment though, as per our tests.
New feeds can be added directly to a folder by clicking the little arrow next to it. Alternatively, you can go to FlowReader’s settings and add them from there. There doesn’t appear to be any way to add a new folder though, nor can you view individual feeds in a folder.
The ‘Social’ tab lets you view your Facebook and Twitter feeds once you’ve connected the respected accounts. You can view the feeds individually by selecting the relevant tab, or both of them side-by-side by selecting the Social tab.
Last but not the least, FlowReader lets you post to Facebook and Twitter. Click the ‘Post new’ button at the top and compose your update. It does not count down characters for you, so you will have to be careful about the character limit yourself when posting to Twitter.
FlowReader is a pretty basic feed reader service that focuses more on social media feeds than RSS. The fact that you cannot even preview a story is rather disappointing, as it’s something that even the barest of feed readers allow you to do. It is still a matter of personal preference and for those who like bare and minimal, FlowReader is a good enough option.

Emu Candy Jars
I love the bunny jars I made for Easter last year and after Easter I repurposed them into storage jars for my craft room. So when I was thinking of some ideas for candy jars I decided to make some bright tropical jars using plastic Emu's.
Emu candy jars
Tools and Materials
- Schleich Emu's
- Recycled glass jar, label removed and cleaned
- Fast dry enamel spray paint in bright colours
- Super glue
Emu candy jars, How-to step by step
Start by carefully gluing the emu to the jar lid and leave to dry. Place lid on a platform you don't need (I used an old glass pot I did not need anymore). Following the instructions on the spray paint, carefully spray the glued emu and lid until you have an even coat of paint and the original colour of both the emu and lid are no longer visible. Leave to dry. Fill with candy.
Have a sweet day!

Patric Johansson
Another Saturday, another Swedish based photographer! Patric Johansson
"Since 1997 Patric - the country boy from Gladhammar - has worked with his own business and his second passion. His first passion? His lovely family in Bromma, Stockholm (Camilla, Ella and Gösta).
Patric works for interior companies like Mio Möbler and interior magazines. For other lifestyle magazines and advertising agencies he works with portraits, documentaries and travel stories."
I have chosen my favourite photographs from Patrick that all tend to be very white with pops of colour. I am especially loving the idea of having a colourful chandelier in the kitchen...
To see more of his beautiful photography check out his portfolio.
Happy Saturday, sweets!

A Pretty Garden Lunch by Klastyling
One of my lovely friends on Facebook recently asked if I had seen Klastyling. I had seen the beautiful styling work of Chihiro Kubota but hadn't seen Klastyling which is produced by Chihiro, I popped right over and found this pretty styled garden lunch. I love how the flowers are hung on the back of the chairs, the vases are decorated with burlap and lace and the mix of striped table linen.
Oh! how lovely would it be to sit down and have lunch here with your friends?
To see more gorgeous styling from Chihiro Kubota, Tomoko Sasaki, Matsumura Kazumi and more check out Klastyling
Have a sweet day!
