I had the pleasure of throwing my little sister her first baby shower recently, and in the midst of planning and organizing and inspiration-gathering, I decided to make my own DIY cupcake stands. The idea came to me after I saw these two very creative projects on Pinterest: Wild Cat Cake Stand by A Beautiful Mess and DIY Party... Read More
Oh my goodness, you know how much I love decorating for kids, right?
So you can imagine my excitement when I was given the chance to throw my little sister her very first baby shower!
Excitement...
If you ventured over here from my Vintage Circus Baby Shower, then you know that I had lots of projects going on to make my sweet little sister’s shower colorful and fun.

It’s so hard to decorate for fall when it’s still so hot here in Charleston, but don’t think for one second that I’m not silently begging the weather to change! I’m ready for crisp breezes, and sweaters, and pumpkins, and the smell of fireplaces smoking in the evening. I’m ready for acorns, and crunchy leaves, and chili with cornbread. I’m ready to drag all of...

Have you ever known exactly what you wanted in an item, but either couldn’t find it…or found it, but couldn’t stomach the price? Well, that’s precisely what I have been going through the last few months.
Early January, we had almost finished our office built-ins, and I knew I wanted to put two lamps on either end of the bookcases. I also knew the look I was...
