There are lots (I mean lots) of gift wrapping ideas out there in internet world. I felt like I had seen it all until I ran across these adorable glitter labels from d.Sharp. I love them! They would make the perfect finishing touch on a gift! I also fell for the sweet letterpress cards in the shop. It just makes me so happy when I run across little gems like this shop. So sweet!

Thanksgiving is tomorrow! This is about the time I always start freaking out as inevitably the holiday has snuck up on me and I am scrambling for easy last minute DIY’s for my table, that don’t look too “crafty” and have a level of sophistication to them. So I thought that I would share some of my favorites with you.
This table runner idea is so easy to do and is so beautiful. All you need is a book you are willing to rip pages out of (preferably vintage with those beautifully yellowed pages and it always helps to have a book that people have read it stirs up conversations) and a craft punch like this one.
I love this (easy!) glittered (my one of my favorite colors is after all glitter) corn centerpiece. It would look so beautiful displayed with richly colored gourds. I collect various tall gold/brass candle sticks at thrift stores (believe me every thrift store has them in abundance…) they (the candle sticks) would make a perfect addition to the glittered corn centerpiece.
Another easy trick is to use miss-matched vintage plates (or non-vintage plates) on your table. If you don’t have enough, again the thrift store may be your best friend today. Run out and grab a few plates with various patterns.
I love this banner idea! If you don’t have glitter handy (or your not really into glitter…) the letters would look really beautiful painted brown or a deep coral orange. If you don’t have time to run out and get letters print out easy to cut letters as a stencil and make the letters from cardboard.
And last but not least when in doubt or in a pinch, use pumpkins, gourds and squashes…lots of them…
Hope you all have a Happy and lovely Thanksgiving!

I recently worked on a custom invitation set for Rebecca and Adam. They were married labor day weekend in Sun Valley, Idaho. I love their simple, classic style. The invitations are a beautiful rich navy blue and burgundy red. I also created a rehearsal dinner invitation to reflect their ceremony invitation design. One of my favorite pieces of their wedding paper are the vintage table numbers created from vintage postcards. I love the way they turned out. I loved working with these two. It’s great when the invitations turn out but it’s equally as wonderful to meet new friends!
