Washi Tape Tray

I found some super cute washi tape on clearance at Michaels a few months back. I sometimes am at a loss for what to actually do for it even with all those inspiring projects that have been shared out there. I picked up a plain plastic plate at Target and then simply laid the tape across it to create a tray for my succulents I picked up at Lowe's. 

I was going to attempt to plant my own, but on the day I went to Lowe's they only had ones that were already planted in bowls.  I am going to head to the Do-It-Herself class offered at Home Depot in May on planting succulents. It's free so you cannot beat that. My friend Jocie from One Project Closer is actually teaching the class offered at the Ellicott City, Maryland location if you are in that area. Here is the link for the workshop - Home Depot Workshops.  

Hopefully heading to this workshop will allow me to keep this little planter alive a little longer. I am definitely not known for having a green thumb at all. Enjoy your week!

Washi Tape Candy Jar

I had bought some spice jars to use at Wynn's birthday party. I wanted to find another way to use them...and I thought I would use them for actual spices. However, since my spices are strewn throughout the house as my kitchen is not exactly in one piece I had used them another way.

I took some cute washi tape and wrapped the jar and added a simple paper flower. Then I filled the jar with some egg shaped candy from the Dollar Tree.  I think I have been there to the Dollar Tree too many times recently as the cashier said hello to me by name when I walked in. :)

Thank you for stopping by!

Summer is Here

We've been pretty busy lately now that summer is in full swing.  We were able to go to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  It was a lot of fun, and Wynn loved seeing real princesses.

Today I took a break and went to to amazing barn sales that are about forty minutes or so from my house.  The first one I headed to was at Stylish Patina in Frederick, Maryland.  They have a barn sale every third weekend of the month. They have some amazing vendors that have space there and they sell Annie Sloan paint products.  Here are photos of two of my favorite items I saw there this morning:

Then I headed over to Chartreuse & Co for their barn sale that is also located in Frederick, Maryland.  They also have sales each month with a great variety of vendors. Here are some of my favorite items that I saw.

I ended up leaving Chartreuse & Co with this super cute lantern for our deck.

Now we're getting some work done during Wynn's naptime.  Here are some of the projects we are working on:

I ended up painted the chair a gray color so far. I've ordered some fabric to cover the seat with, and I am excited for it to get here.  Then I experimented with washi tape for the first time and created a cute new frame for my desk at work.

Rob is out in the garage working on some pallet projects after we scored ten of them from neighbors of my in-laws. We've seen so many inspiring ideas on Pinterest and thought we'd give it a try.

Enjoy your weekend!
