A Gift for a Bride to Be

I ventured to Hobby Lobby yesterday to get some odds and ends. I wish I had one closer, but the two around me are about 45 minutes in each direction. I have a little get together tomorrow in honor of my friend who is getting married in a few weeks. I picked up this 5 X 7 wall frame for $7.99 on sale. I liked the distressed look and thought it would look nice with a photo from her wedding or her engagement pictures in it.

I had a leftover burlap flower from the package I bought for my kitchen bins. Her wedding is a burlap and lace styled event so the flower fit perfectly.  Then a little bit of leftover vinyl was added to include the date.  Just a little change to personalize the frame for her.  I placed her wedding invitation in it for now, and thought it looked really cute in there. But, for now the blonde girl will have to do for sharing on the blog purposes.

This frame is paired with some wine from the year she met her soon to be husband.  I think it will make the perfect little present for her girls dinner tomorrow.  

Thank you for stopping by! 

PBK Inspired Rope Mirror

I have been working on some new wall decor for Wynn's room.  I basically got a lot of inspiration from the Pottery Barn Kids catalog as you may have seen in my previous projects. This one also is PBK inspired and took around five minutes to assemble. I saw a rope mirror pictured below and thought it would be a great item to recreate.  Here is my mirror for her room:

I had a mirror from Michaels that was pretty inexpensive that I had never used before. I used some leftover rope from my nautical vase project I shared on Monday.  I thought about buying thicker rope like the PBK version, but I really did not want to spend any additional funds if I had materials available.

Below is the PBK mirror that I cut out of the catalog as soon as I saw it in there.  It is not something that I can find on the site anymore, but I doubt it cost around the eight dollars I spent.

I am hoping to repaint Wynn's room soon, and I will hang her new mirror, seahorse art, and mermaid sign. Thanks for stopping by today.

Rope Wrapped Vase

Little by little I'm creating some projects for the nautical bridal shower that I'm helping to plan with friends. I have had many Dollar Tree vases that have gotten some use for many projects. I ordered some jute rope from Amazon for around 6 dollars, and was able to wrap three vases with it.  Then I added a strip of ribbon with poms from a package from the Michaels dollar section. 

I've been meaning to fill it up with some flowers and share a picture that way. However, time has gotten away from me the past few weeks and I keep forgetting to do that.

I think they turned out great, and it only takes a few minutes per vase to put these together. It is definitely a cute way to decorate these simple vases.
