Nearly three weeks ago I told you I would share my garage sale finds in a week. Well, I’m late – fashionably, of course. It’s hard to want to write this post since I have so many cool things from this month that I can’t wait to share with you. But I digress, last month’s […]
Custom Portrait Gift Tags
For the record, I use the term “portrait” loosely. I really don’t think these little sketches can be officially called portraits. Regardless, aren’t these little face sketches a fun way to label gifts? I thought it was a nice change of pace to labeling gifts by name. It was as easy as it looks – […]
DIY Rabbit Ornaments
Last week I went to a homemade ornament exchange party where everyone brought a handmade ornament, picked a name out of a bowl and gifted that person their ornament. Isn’t that such a fun idea? We don’t have a Christmas tree this year so I wasn’t planning on making any ornaments. This party gave me […]
O’ Holy Night Christmas Banner
I have a bit of a crush on banners, specifically banners with words on them. I have already made a happy birthday banner inspired by this sweet banner for you know, birthdays. And even though Christmas is technically Christ’s birthday – or the day we celebrate it – I didn’t feel like that fit the […]
DIY Colorblock Instruments
While browsing the One Spot at Target the other day, I came across these little wood instruments for $1 each. They’re cute but were missing something, so I decided to make them even prettier with some fun colors. I used supplies I already had on hand; craft paint and a paint brush, washi tape, and […]
November Thrift Store Finds
I found a lot of note-worthy things in the month of November, both at thrift stores and garage sales. Today I’ll be sharing what I found at thrift stores – since you know, this is titled thrift store finds – and will be back next week to share all the garage sale scores. I added […]
DIY Clay Houses
I’ve always been a fan of working with clay. In high school I somehow managed to win some art awards for the things I made (it still feels so strange to call them pieces of art). So after over three years of not touching clay, I decided to give it a go by making these […]
DIY Christmas Branch Garland
This is our third Christmas together as a family. Our first Christmas Nani was nearly a newborn and we had just moved into our house, so we didn’t do much decorating for the season. Last year we were unemployed and only staying afloat by the grace of God, so rather than buying a Christmas tree […]
Gifts for Children
The last Christmas gift guide for the week is the biggest gift list. Children take up a pretty huge portion of my life, so it only makes sense to dedicate the biggest gift guide to them. Instead of gathering all possible children gifts into one round up, I separated it into three; baby, toddler, and […]
Gifts for the Foodie
This gift guide was extra fun for me due to the fact that I’m a fan of all things food. I’m especially smitten over vintage kitchen gadgets. So if I like something, everybody should, right!? Okay, perhaps I am a bit biased. Clockwise from top left: vintage copper measuring cups | bountiful | the four […]
