Fun Finds - Vessels

Last week, I was looking for a basket to put a 3' Christmas tree in for a client. I went to Garden Ridge. And of course I had to look at everything else as well. I loved these fun rattan wrapped vases and hurricanes. And I'm sorry I didn't write down prices, but I'm sure everything is under $12. Great for a beach house or porch.

And I loved these gold rimmed handle holders. 

It would be fun to mix shapes and sizes and mix flowers and candles. 

Happy Arranging!

It was the 4th of July...

Happy late 4th of July!!! If I were a real professional blogger, I would have given you all these ideas last week, but seeing as I like to implement before I give advice - here it is now. These were the decorations that we I set up for my mother's birthday celebration.

Notice the paint chip bunting hanging on the cabinet. I strung it together in the car on the way down. For more information on the bunting...click here. I think it turned out great! And the chinese lanterns were very effective (and easy to pack). I probably would have done some vases with smaller necks, but thought these galvanized flower buckets would be easy to travel with. unbreakable. 

 The red raffia placemats I found on the 'fly' at Garden Ridge for $1...no I didn't leave out a 0...yes a dollar. And the Pomegranate seaspray chainstitch napkins, at Table Matters of course - my first stop for quality linens. 

 

And did I mention...I love the subtle red and seaspray combination!!!

Happy JULY!!!

Fabulous FInds Fridays...Preppy Rugs!

I found these cute preppy rugs at Garden Ridge. Just makes me think summer in the hot colors. These are cute 2' x 3's for only $7.99. Great for a bathroom, entrance doormat or in a kitchen behind the sink. And would be super cute at a beach place if you are so fortunate to have one!

Happy Summer!!!
