I picked up some napkin rings a few weeks ago at our local thrift store. I finally got around to giving them a quick nautical makeover. I started by using my handy hot glue gun and wrapping twine around the rings. Very tedious to say the least. Once the twine was on, I used this great anchor rubber stamp I bought off Etsy last year to hand-stamp the image onto pieces of muslin. I cut...
I had the perfect piece of muslin fabric lying around in the craft room. Just the right size for a little pillow. I used this great bunny silhouette again from the Graphics Fairy.

It was gorgeous here this weekend so I started adding some spring touches about the house. Found this great chalkboard image on Pinterest. I keep this little birdy out year round, but even he's ready for spring! Peat pot and eggs under my favorite cloche. Another cloche. This...
