DIY Teacher Gift

This is such an adorable DIY teacher appreciation gift  – and so easy for your kiddos to create  just in time for the end of the school year!  I am the queen of giftcard-giving, but when I received this from a student in a tutoring class I had the JOY of teaching this year….I thought it was so sweet and personal.  I mean, seriously….I will go to Starbucks whether I have a giftcard or not, but this whimsical little creation will sit on my deck all summer long, and I’ll think of our laughter in class.   [Read more…]

DIY Washer Necklace

These DIY Washer Necklaces are super simple, quick, and FABULOUS to create!  If I didn’t love rambling so much…and over-thinking the EASIEST of projects….I could post pictures and you’d totally get the step-by-step instructions with no text necessary.  But there are always valuable TIPS that I need to share (probably more for MY benefit that yours), so on to the instructions… [Read more…]

Vintage Button Charm Bracelet

Button Charm Bracelet Cover

I absolutely LOVE charm bracelets and the warm “clinky” sound they make when worn.  My mother had a charm bracelet when I was little, and every special holiday meant we could give her a new charm as a gift.  The sound of her bracelet was always comforting –  it meant she was close by.  Maybe that “jewelry lullaby” contributed to my bracelet obsession later in life.

DIY Scarf Kimono Tutorial

Scarf Kimono

I have a collection of scarves that dates back to the ‘80s (yes….the previous century).  I refuse to call them “vintage” because that would put ME in the same category, but they are cherished accessories and I dig them out when I need to add a special touch to an outfit.  Scarves seem to be one accessory that transcends fashion trends and fads – they are always in style.
