sparkle + christmas

Christmas is a perfect time for me to indulge in my sparkle habit. What can I say I love glitter, sparkles and all things with twinkly goodness… So in honor of that here are some finds (with a bit of sparkle) that I am loving for this Christmas Season!

I love this velvet ribbon and glitter tag wrapping. Images via AmbrosiaGirl find her instructions there as well.

fall

 

We’ve been enjoying a sunny fall the past few days here in Seattle so I thought I would pull together some of what I consider to be the perfect fall staples. I have been wearing out my old leopard ballet flats (they are seriously the PERFECT neutral). When I ran across these new ones from Boden, I fell in shoe love. I have also been on the hunt for anything cozy in that light sea foam green color – it’s a color that looks so good on anyone, how could you not love a sea foam green cashmere pullover?! …so there you have it: some of my finds for the perfect outfit for one of these beautiful fall days we’ve been having.

1. cashmere hoodie from Boden 2. tortoise aviators from Zara 3. the perfect earring from Loft 4. coral watch? love! from Triwa 5. leopard print ballet flats from Boden 6. the perfect tan leather shopper from JCrew 7. the closet essential, boyfriend jeans from Anthropologie

weekend project – dip dyed candles

I fell in LOVE with these candles, made from melted crayons, when I ran across them a few weeks back. I want make them for our front entry way using the white candles I picked up at Ikea awhile back (best deal ever, they even drip so beautifully!). I have an old farm table that I purchased for our wedding alter that I want to set them on. I think I am going to do coral hues. I can’t wait to get started! I also think this would be a beautiful idea for a wedding center-piece, especially on long banquet tables…Love!

But first I need to go out a-thrifting for a used crock pot. We have a crock pot but I don’t really want to use our eating crock pot for crafting, so once I score a crock pot I be working away on this project. The instructions are fairly easy and available from Martha Stewart. Once I get going on the project I will post photos to Facebook. I am trying to get better about putting work away on the weekends and working on fun projects like this one. I love, what do you think?!
