It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful
I made this necklace back in November. And I never shared it here for a reason I’m kind of ashamed to admit. It’s not perfect. Not even close. And yeah, this entire place is built around the motto “it doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful”. But, it doesn’t make it any easier to [...]

Last November Caroline and Angela and I met at a coffee shop one last time before Caroline moved away. She gave us each a gift~ a finger knitted scarf she had made. I promptly put mine around my neck, then put it on my Christmas tree and now it’s on my mantle. Angela couldn’t get [...]

I bet you’ve seen Dana Tanamachi’s stunning chalk work. Yeah, Oprah didn’t draw that. But cute pose. There’s the artist. Dana has also worked with West Elm and Ralph Lauren.

After looking through pinterest, we settled on making doily bowls. First we went “doily hunting” as Reeve called it. We found [...]
I love a beautiful throw. At my house, we keep two queen sized blankets in a huge basket next to the sectional so we can all snuggle at a moments notice. These blankets get covered with pizza and dog and muddy shoes and can be easily washed and quick dried on super high heat. These [...]

Since the moment I knew my sister was going to write a book, I knew I was going to throw her a big party. Book pages seemed to be the obvious choice for decor. I wanted the decorations to be fantastic. And I remembered what Henri says.. So I purposely limited myself to books and [...]

This is it, the mother of all wreath link up parties. I can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with. Since I’m in the mood to pretty up my house for my sister’s Book Release Party {BRP for short but that’s sounds dangerously close to burp} I went with the not too risky but [...]
