Here is my New Year’s Eve tablescape. I was going for a black tie glam look. I love how it turned out, and is probably one of my favourite tables I’ve done.

Easter Table Setting Using Thrift Store Apothecary Jars

Spring is here! I’m so happy to finally be finished with Winter and I’m even more excited for the warmer temperatures. To help put me in a Springy mood, I decided to use two of my recent thrift store treasures in an Easter table setting. I love thrift stores and finding that certain treasure in […]

For my first attempt at candle making, I think they are […]

T-Shirt Carrots

With Easter around the corner, I was inspired to create something new and fun. I saw on Hometalk that someone had made “carrot” decor using an old sweater. It was adorable, but I wanted to keep my costs to a minimum, so I came up with the idea of using an old T-shirt. Here is […]
