Craft Party!

This happy Thursday I bring you ideas for a craft party!
I love this theme because you can take it as far as you like.
Construct a giant needle and thread for this kind of party , or just put out some subtle decor and food to keep it more low key.

I have craft night with friends.
We bring all of our craft supplies and go to town on individual projects, talking and laughing the whole time. However, I would LOVE to invite the ladies over for a more official party sometime just for fun!
I stumbled upon the darn cutest ideas and projects online this week and I am so inspired!
Take a peak for yourself!

I have WAY TOO MANY unused spools of fun ribbon lying around! Why not put them to good use? These ribbon spool plate stands are lovely and put things that I already have handy to use....gotta love that!

I simply love the idea of laying out brown paper (highly available and affordable) on the table and going to town with crayons, markers, and paints! What better time than craft night?
Although this centerpiece would be great for a dinner party too!




Every party needs food! It should be craft themed too!
Check out the tutorial on Bakerella for these lovely button cookies!


I was reading through my blog roll one day and came across this party on The Pleated Poppy
a blog written by Lindsey Cheney that's full of creative and crafty tips for parties and everyday life! Her friend Nicole frequently guest blogs and kindly shared this jem with Lindsey's readers (me!). Nicole planned a darling little sewing party for her 6 year old daughter and the details are dreamy! The decor is so cozy and sweet, makes me wish that I had been invited!

You can check out the lovely details here!


Have I inspired you to get crafting yet???
Girls night?...Anyone?
I found these simple but lovely projects this week....give em' a try!


*Fabric Flower Tutorial
* Braided Hair Pin
* DIY Fabric Journals

The crafting possibilities are endless! Have fun creating with friends!

Also, don't forget about the giveaway from the previous post!...It's not too late!

Thrifted!

Hello all! I want to share with some of the lovelies that I have picked up at thrift shops lately! Thrift stores are the bast places to find unique and interesting serving pieces...here's a peak!


How cute are these strawberry canisters? All 3 for just $3!
One of my favorite things to find at thrift stores is fun glassware. I'm not one for having all of my dishes match perfectly, I just like them to not clash.I think all of these glasses cost me $2 all together...but the rose mug is my favorite right now.
I really want to start a fabulous mis-matched tea cup and saucer collection.I also want to pick up a lot of pastel water goblets to go along. One day....I would love to throw a tea party, you know just like the one's that you have when you are a little girl with lovely dresses and gloves.....only with delicious food instead of plastic scones !
This fun little container is so lovely. I have it in the bathroom right now but I feel like the possibilities are endless!
I will have more thrift updates later.
Stay tuned for a giveaway later in the week!

Gettin' Ready For Springtime Entertaining!

Oh chilly wether...when will you leave us Floridians so that we can have our lovely Springtime ? The new season has been on my mind lately (mainly while I am shivering) so naturally Spring entertaining has too. Here are some lovely inspirations and links to get the blood flowing! I can't wait for the christening of that first carefree Spring celebration!

This party would be lovely and perfect for Spring!

I would love to make some of these!

I really want to collect a bunch of Ball jars! they have so many uses!

I listen to She and Him all year round but they speak to me the most during the spring , and they are about to release a new CD on March 23rd called Volume 2 and I am so excited!
I have given these cake pops a shot before and it DID NOT go well.... but in the name of not giving up and the rejuvenating ways of the Spring I would like to try again!
The full directions can be found here.
Wish me luck!
I will conquer the little cupcakes on sticks!

What entertaining plans do you have for this Spring?
