I needed some greenery around the house without the obligation of having to water live plants, because in all honesty, I am a plant killer. And once I saw a few topiaries at Pottery Barn, I knew they would do the trick. Problem was, I was not willing to spend $189 on ONE of them. […]

Burlap and lace have been on my mind since about Christmas, so I was able to scratch that itch by using these two materials in this shabby chic, simple and pink baby shower dinner. This dinner party was elegant, intimate, and incorporated little touches suited specially for the mama-to-be. Lace napkin rings with the napkins […]
A super simple (and last minute, if needed!) Valentine (or just because!) gift idea found on Pinterest is this “I love you because…” frame.
