Wedding: Centerpieces

I liked the whole mason jar trend going on in the wedding world. It fit in with our rustic/vintagey theme and they were pretty inexpensive to buy in bulk. I also used regular canned food cans as well as Starbucks Frapp drinks to supplement the mason jars. A great way to both save money and the environment :) I drink a lot of Sbux drinks so I just saved those and cans that were in good condition and dressed them up with twine, ribbon, and burlap. A very low cost centerpiece with highly attractive appeal.

Above is the final end result at our reception.

Tip: GooGone is a great product that helps get sticky residue off surfaces. I used that to get the Sbux bottles nice and clean.

Crafty Crush: Craft & Creativity

I have a craft crush! When the fiance and I buy a house...I want it to look like this. Everything is amazing! From the outside sitting area, the little girl's rooms, her studio, the greenhouse...everything...love! I especially love the library and the children's bookcase. View her Flickr and come drool with me.

Not only is her house amazing but so is her craftiness. Be sure to check out her adorable plushies! Swooon!

Thrift store finds.

Aren't these the cutest? I found these adorable prints at the thrift store for 3 bucks each including the frames! They are a great addition to Carmen's room. Gotta love great thrift store finds :)
