How to make your own votives in little terra cotta planters. Some people in my life might be getting these for Christmas, just a heads up.
It's getting hot outside again, which makes me sad because I'm ready to wear outfits like this:
I love it when simple projects make a big impact. Put some decals on a canvas and spray paint it. Peel the decals off and hang lights on the back. Instant focal piece!
Honeycrisp apple sangria with cinnamon sugar around the glass. Be still my heart:
And finally, Roald Dahl is just so delightful. I have this quote pinned in various designs, but I think the little giraffe family is the cutest thing ever:
What are you up to this weekend? Hubsey and I are eating dinner at a bar tonight and then doing several boring homeowner things, like buying a water softener. Yay... Please tell me you're doing something more awesome.
Yo--Wanna follow me on Pinterest? You can do that here.
Love the quote- that is adorable. Hmmm, this weekend we are also doing the homeowner thing (surprise)- attaching bookcases to the wall and filling them, working on the entry bathroom, and so on. But it's my mom's birthday so we will get a nice meal out!
ReplyDeleteThat lit canvas is awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the boots and rimmed glass too!
No big plans this weekend here either.
I hope classes are going well this year! It's always an adjustment in the fall;) Loving your finds today!
ReplyDeleteThose terra-cotta candles are precious. You could even decorate those with monogrammed letters or polka dots or... well it's endless. Great christmas gifts.
ReplyDeletethose little votives are super cute! I'm also excited for fall, I have my eye on a great pair of skinny jeans so I can wear lots of boot outfits. This weekend though we're off to the beaches to milk the last of summer we can
ReplyDeleteThose little votives are really cute, and the weather situation is the same here. It got cooler for a few days, and I was all gushy and dreaming of fall and today it's hot again. Boo. Also, love Roald Dahl always. Hope school goes well. Have a good weekend! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI really like the Rohld Dahl quote! When I think about good things I always smile to myself, even it's in public! People I know have told they've seen my walking around with a big smile on my face! It's a little bit embarrassing but Now I like to think it's the thoughts "shining out of my face"!
ReplyDeleteI start school next week too! Not so excited though. it's been two years since I've been out and I'm not sure if I can handle graduate level physics. scary! Anyway, those candles are super cute.I think I'm going to do a huge bundle of gifts for everyone. I don't have many plans for the weekend. A good friend of mine is coming to visit from PA and I also have to work. Have fun at the bar.
ReplyDeleteLove all the different sized votives. Just saw that quote on my Pinterest feed too!
ReplyDeleteI don't even make candles and now I want to make those planter votives! The sangria looks amazing. We're on a mini vacation in the Wisconsin Dells this weekend...you probably didn't want to hear that. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sangria looks fabulous!
