House of Hydrangeas

Tulips wrapped in kraft paper and tied with a pretty black bow.   Simple and sophisticated.  And a great gift for a hostess. S'mores Cake.  Lately, I've been in the mood to bake.  I've resisted since I'm the only one around to eat it right now, but if I did bake, I'd make this .   Flatware place card.  For my next dinner party :) So hard to remember, but so true. Citrusy Champagne Sangria. The perfect summertime drink. Have a wonderful weekend! Images via 1 , 2 , 3 , 5

I recently scored four of these shutters for a total of $15 on Craigslist!  I was beyond ecstatic when I logged on and found the listing.  I'll be using them to escort cards for one of my upcoming weddings, but honestly the possibilities are endless with these guys. You can use them in so many different ways. As a headboard... As a memo board... As decor/art work... I think the last idea is my favorite.  I'd love to give them a nice dark stain, stack them and use them as one big piece to draw your eyes up toward the ceiling.  But we'll see... :) Images via Completely Coastal, The Lettered Cottage, 3-5 Source unknown
