For Valentine's Day

I thought it would be fun to write a little post for Valentine's. Here is around-up of heart-shaped kitchen items that I wouldn't mind owning:

Aren't they adorable? Have a Happy Valentine's Day, however you're celebrating!

Wall Art Inspiration

When I'm out and about, I always find an idea that I'd like to re-create. But when time doesn't permit it or materials aren't handy, I like to file them away until I'm ready to craft.

Here are some of those ideas:

This wall fixture is made of paper circles. Won't be cool to make something similar using empty paper towel rolls cut to size?

Here's another one that reminds me of lace. They're papercuts! I would like to try them on a smaller scale, using a smaller frame.

These flowers are made of very thin pieces of wood. I envision using any kind of paper like scrapbook paper in a thematic palette (ex. blues, yellows, pinks) or pages from an old book.

I hope these have left you wanting to create your own wall art for your space. Have a great week ahead!

A Canister for Cupcake Liners

I love Pinterest! One of the cutest ideas I've seen are these nifty ways to store cupcake liners:

Super cute way to store cupcake liners!:

They are genius as a storage solution, and equally inventive as a gift for a buddy who loves to bake.

I happen to squirrel away cupcake papers like these.

I usually get them at the end of season sale when they are marked down to 50%-75% off the original price.

As my collection grows (and diminishes since I'll be using these for yummy baked treats), I will keep them safe in this glass jar:

I can't wait to fill it with plain ones and printed ones! I think it will be TADA!

Jars of different sizes can also be used to organize things around the house. Want a few ideas? Get them here.

Beaded Sashes

Well hello there! I don't know about you, but I adore these soft ands sparkly sashes:

They are wedding accessories but they can certainly be worn even after the big day to turn a simple party dress from blah to TADA!

Inspired by these sashes, I made my own...

I found this sitting in my closet. It's a metallic silver sash from a crepe material. It's long enough to be used as a belt or it can be knotted as a headband.
