Washi Tape

Hello! It's raining here so I was unable to get any photos of my Spring Beauties book. Hopefully tomorrow! But I wanted to let you know that I have marked the Washi tape on sale 25% off! (scrapbook papers and other things are on sale as well) I was taking a look around pinterest and found several cute ideas of how to use washi tape and thought I would share. 

Love, love this idea! (photo source and tutorial)

Hopefully I will have a least a little sunshine to take photos of my book tomorrow.

Egg Inspiration

Hello! I hope you're having a lovely week. I wanted to share with you some inspiration for decorating the paper mache eggs listed in the shop. I also wanted to show you that these little gems are definitely not just for Easter. The first few eggs were made by me last year. 

I (of course) used lost of vintage lace and millinery on my eggs, as well as paint and glitter. They make wonderful displays throughout all of spring, and really can become a treasured keepsake. I also think they would make a nice gift for a Mom-to-be, with a special trinket nestled inside. 

Here are some other variations I found around the web. (or pinterest)

As you can see, the creative possibilities are pretty endless. 

One more. (source)

So, I hope that gives you a little inspiration today! I am hoping to have a couple of my own lacy eggs for sale in the shop on Monday. :)

Happy crafting, friends! Cerri xo

I hope you have a lovely weekend! We are off to visit Kenz in Nashville. I've been missing her terribly, and between work and school she hasn't been able to come home since Christmas. And although she has a new car, she is still a little nervous to drive over the mountain since her accident. We're going to stay all week, and I'm seriously looking forward to some relaxing, some crafting, and some much needed girl time. 

(So please note that all orders shipped from the 17th-23rd will begin shipping as soon as we return)

Crafty holiday inspiration

Good morning! Welcome to day 2 of our online holiday open house. I hope you are having fun with all of the posts. For this mornings inspiration post, I thought I would share some projects I have found on pinterest or around the web that are on my holiday to do list.  

Love those simple snow globes from Anthropologie! So simple, yet so pretty. 

Another sweet and simple project. You could easily make this with some of the vintage images I have shared, (and will share over the weekend) and our antique photo mats.

After work today, I'm running to Michaels to see if I can pick up some clear ornaments to make some of these. Aren't they lovely?

Love this!

I don't know what it is about the holiday season, but it just stirs my creativity. I have far more ideas and projects I want to make than I have time for. Wouldn't you just love it if you could sit and craft and not have any other responsibilities? 

Don't forget to enter the day one giveaway here, and to check out all of yesterday's posts. I'll be back in a couple of hours with more fun!

Grown up grilled cheese

While spending just a moment a ridiculous amount of time on pinterest the other day I came across this fantastic looking sandwhich. Honestly, the photo had me with the bacon. Ha. I've always been a fan of grilled cheese sandwiches, they're a comfort food, but combined with bacon and not your normal cheeses? We had to try it. So my husband whipped these up the other night, and honestly it was probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. Sooo. Good. 

You can find the recipe right here.  (that's their photo too,food photos are not my specialty) They come together pretty quickly, so they might be a good thing to try when you're getting ready for Halloween festivities this weekend. My husband added a bit of cheddar to the cheese mixture as well.

PS, Just a couple of days left to take advantage of the free shipping sale! 

 

Pinterest Love

Are you pinning? I'm so addicted to Pinterest, really, I think I  need a 12 step program. I love being able to create virtual inspiration boards, or "pin boards". I thought I might start sharing some of my favorite finds from Pinterest with you here. With turning 40 later this week, parties are on my mind right now...and I've been daydreaming about the perfect party.

The jumbo ice cubes above, how fabulous are those? They're just slices of lemons and limes frozen in muffin pans to create giant ice cubes. Loving that. 

How dreamy is this? 

Or how about serving your lemonade, or (sweet tea here in the south) in mason jars sitting on ice? 

What's a party without giant balloons? (Which can be found at Bake It Pretty!)

How dreamy is this table scape?

And of course, who wouldn't want all of their presents presented like this?!

Well, a girl can daydream about an amazing party, right? :)

If you want to take a peek at all of my pin boards, just go here.  And if you're not already pinning and need an invite, just let me know. It's a little faster to get an invite from someone you know than it is to wait on Pinterest to send you one. 

Be back soon with some projects I've been working on. xoxo, Cerri
