Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating today with friends and family. I’m so excited to share this quick post with you all about my holiday tablescape.

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 Easter tablescape this year, I added some fun and natural items to my decor. These new elements were super easy to make and didn’t cost a penny, since I’m kind of a hoarder of decor and craft items. Lol. In this post, I’ll show you the how-to for making your own Easter decor. […]

Easter Tablescape

For this years Easter Dinner Table, I wanted to do something special and add some natural elements. I love the end result, and how the natural twigs and moss paired with the bright blue and green eggs creates an interesting contrast. Using items I already had on hand, I was able to pull this […]

Egg Candles

Inspired by one of natures most appealing shapes, I decided to try my hand at making candles using empty egg shells, and I’m thrilled with the end result. Here are the finished candles. For my first attempt at candle making, I think they are […]

I love the look and texture of moss, and the bunny silhouette screams “Easter” in my mind. Here’s my take on some bunny topiaries. I was inspired by a blogger’s Bunny Topiary I saw on […]

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 […]
