Mother's Day

May is such a crazy month between graduation parties, weddings, vacation....and most importantly *MOTHER'S DAY*

How about giving your mom a something just a little out of the ordinary such as this adorable stitched bouquet of flowers! This little bunch of blooms can hang on the wall and be enjoyed all year round.

I also found these amazing cards that are *FREE* and *DOWNLOAD-able* if you are in a rush for something last minute. All you have to do is visit this cute little blog (blog.twobrunettesshop.com) or click on the link beside the cards.




I hope you all have a very special Mother's Day! Every day is a good day to treasure you Mother.

XO,

Saturday is such a beautiful word...

I HEART Saturday's, but who doesn't?

Sleeping in is such a luxury for me and I don't get to do it very often. Today, sadly, is no exception.
BUT, the great news is I have so much to do today and I am ready to get some things done :) well, after I finish drinking my ritual cup of coffee out of my favorite mug, that is.

a few of the things on my list include:


  • Baking banana bread (yum! I'll post my recipe--it is the best)
  • Going for a run (while my banana bread is baking -- hello time management!)
  • Laundry (I'm running out of clothes to wear, or at least matching clothes)
  • Meeting up with a friend for lunch (happiness)
  • PROJECT RESTYLE (check the button on my blog side panel) **You will have to check back to see what I am working on**


It is just going to be a great day!! Can't wait for the sun to start shining!

Peace,
*C*

Bow Necklaces!

So, I finally got a few new items up in my etsy shop! I'm so exited about these adorable little necklaces. I discovered felting in a fiber arts class I took in college and fell in love with working with this medium.  I made these little bows using the wet felting process. The wool I used for these two necklaces I actually saved from being thrown away at the end of my fiber arts class! I'm very glad I could recycle and reuse it.
The buttons are both vintage from my grandmothers collection.

I discovered all these buttons in a circa 1950's suitcase when we were helping them move to SC. She has hundreds of old buttons and I'm sure some of them are probably very valuable. I love just shuffling through them and inspecting them all. I have so many ideas running through my head of all the ways they could be used, but for now they will be the centerpieces of my darling bow necklaces.

Enjoy your Easter weekend! It's my favorite holiday and I can't wait to wear my new dress from boden.com!
