It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!
I went through a phase in my life where I had hundreds of pairs of flip flops, and that was all I would wear for the entire summer. My tastes have changed a bit since then, and I'm not even sure I have a pair of bonified flip flops in my closet anymore. I have gone to buying myself a fun pair of fun shoes or tennies to run around in all summer long. This year I got these plaid ones at Payless. They'll look disgusting by summer end, but they will see some beautiful things this summer. Just ask my boat shoes from last summer pictured before in their glory, trust me you don't want to see them now! It's the little things in life :)
