French Pillows

Loving me some pillows!

I thought it was time to do some new pillow slips for the Etsy store.
I found this great material of a little french girl and Eiffel towers. I also added some to The Roost in Nolensville. I did my store in a Paris theme and thought this would look great there.



I paired it up with a hounds tooth back and a aqua ruffle. They are 20" slips with an envelope fold back for easy washing. All handmade!

Lots of colors to play with

Storage Baskets

Organizing Stuff!

Organizing. We all have to do it to stay sane! Why? Because we have too much stuff! So even after we go through and throw out, there are still things that need to be put in its place.

I have found several inexpensive ways to make storage solutions. I even have tried some. This idea came out of one of those think-outside-the-box moments.

While shopping for things to put in the store I came across these catering racks. You know, the ones that hold up the tinfoil pans. They were inexpensive and I liked the industrial look they had.  Some things you just know you can work with and these were coming home with me.


That sat on the table for me to stare at them.....
Another thing to take up space and add to the chaos and clutter...UGH!

This got me thinking....
What can these be used for?

I got some material that was sitting in a pile.

I thought that if this had some sort of liner it would make a great storage basket.




I think it would look great painting something on the side but I wanted it to be more generic for the store. The problem...still too plain.

I added some fun tags to a few so that it can be tied on and off. This can change it up a bit and will be great when washing the liner.

I love the way it came out.




There are so many possiblities to use these for.

For magazines
I added a house number




dog toys
I added a chalkboard tag



Towels
I added a cedar heart


Tons of ideas for all kinds of storage
They are a great size because they hold a lot!

I think adding the tags makes it fun and versatile! There a many things you can come up with to hang there.

Always rethink an item when you see it!


I want to say a special thank you to Tammy at TypeA for featuring my "Cool" Cooler!

Audrey Hepburn Trinket Box

I really love fast and easy projects that have an appeal. Taking something plain and dull and turning it to something beautiful.

I have always like the quote by Audrey Hepburn that says,

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."

That is beautiful in itself!

I found some craft boxes at the dollar store. They were plain, unpainted, hinged wood boxes. I wish I would have remembered to take a picture before it was painted.



I took turquoise and black paint and painted the box in a two tone color.

With the top black and bottom turquoise I felt it was kinda plain. I remembered I had made those flowers the other day.


I glued a white flower to the top and added some rhinestones around the lid.
Then I added a part of the quote to go around the box. 

"...for beautiful lips speak only words of kindness..."

It makes such a nice gift box or a place to store something pretty!
