I'm so happy to be participating in Debbiedoo's Magazine Challenge linky party. Basically, you have to re-create something you saw in a magazine. My little project was inspired by the July issue of Country Living - hand's down one of my all time favorite magazines! Here is/was my inspiration: And here's my version! Keep in mind the magazine's piece was showing ideas for a wedding or party. Mine is just for our everyday use and...
I picked up this great BEACH sign at Home Goods over the weekend. I wanted something a little light and airy to replace some darker signs we had in our bathroom.

I always try to pick up a few of these wooden candlesticks when I go to Michael's. Sometimes they have a ton and other times, I'm lucky to find one. I'm working on some new styles for my Etsy shop but this pair I'm keeping for moi because I just love how they came out: First, I spray painted each one in my favorite robin's egg color. A few coats later they were ready to be...
