Pin of the Day: Monogrammed Keychain

In the mood to spend between $35-50 on a keychain? Me neither. However, if you ARE, I would recommend these without hesitation:

These cuties are from Invite Cottage and for $34.95 +$9.00 shipping, they could be yours. If you want to punch it up a bit, they will craft you one from a Lilly Pulitzer fabric too!

It’s a prep explosion.

These are heading to my Gifted Giving Board. I think this could be a fantastic wedding shower gift with the bride’s new initials!

Cheers,

Caroline

Pin of the Day: 7 ways to Ruffle

I love a good ruffle. see kate sew has the simplest guide to creating 7 unique and adorable ruffles on her fantastic blog.

Head over to the original post to get the quick (literally, most of them are 1 sentence) tutorial on how to get your desired ruffle. If you love them as much as she does, there are a ton of ruffle resources on her site as well. Just adorable. This pin is heading to my Handmade Hodgepodge Board.

Cheers,

Pin of the Day: Switchplate Story

I have moving on the brain, although the universe is trying to make it clear to me it’s just not happening anytime soon. If I ever do, though I think this idea from Make Projects is a must-try. If you head over to their post, there is a template you can download to type in your message to the future homeowners. You simply type your story, cut it out, and apply the label to the back of your switchplate. The first line of mine would probably be “So, you didn’t like this paint color, huh?”

I’m saving it to my Handmade Hodgepodge board….hopefully I can make one of these soon!

Cheers,

Caroline

Patriot Day

Today, just a trio of Americana that made me proud to be an American today – and every day! It is hard to believe it has been 11 years since 9/11/2001. God Bless America!
