Fancy Friday ~ Graduation Parties

Graduation is coming just around the corner.  For many it is a time of planning, preparation and party throwing.  Last year I seem to remember both Sandy ~ The Reluctant Entertainer and Kristen ~ High Heels And A Hammer were hosting graduation celebrations.  Kristin and I have a year or two before we throw graduation party celebrations.  Just last summer we hosted a party for 16 year old boys.  But, we are happy to gather any tips and ideas for those that have gone before us. Last May, Kristen ~ High Heels And A … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday ~ Setting A Vintage Inspired Easter Table

Easter is a wonderful celebration.  We always look forward to a relaxed day of gathering for a lovely meal around the table, Easter egg hunts and family time.  This year, I feel ahead of the game.  My Easter table has been set for a couple of days.  Once I set it to prepare for this post, I thought, why not leave it up? Spring has not completely sprung here in Minnesota, in fact, we had snow just earlier in the week.  I didn't want my table to be overly flowery or springy.  It wouldn't fit in with the not yet … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday~Spring Sprucing Ideas

Paint is a perfect way to "Spring Spruce" your house!  It's just paint.  Don't be afraid to paint a new color in a room of your house and to give it a new look.  Take a gamble.  Go out on a limb and try a color you've been thinking about.  Remember, it's just paint and you can always paint over it.  Start with a stack of paint chips.  We love Benjamin Moore paint.  It can be found at your local paint store.  If you are a Home Depot stalker, Behr is a really good brand too with a better price point. For many of us, … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday~80′s Flashback

Chris Ann and I dared one another to post our 80's pictures.  I accepted.  You see,  I "did" the 80's. Most of my friends were "80's prep".  They wore shaker knit sweaters with matching socks that were exposed by the tightly folded and rolled jeans.  Not me!  After all, I was an artist.  I identified with Molly Ringwald and knew that my layers of color and bits and pieces would be pulled off with flair.  I did 80's punk...(or so I thought). You're right if you analyzed the above photo and zoned in on the JAMS.  I … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday~Favorite Projects

The snow is melted (in some parts) and the crocuses are peeking their heads.  What does that mean? Time to get inspired to create!  We wanted to share a few of our favorite projects right now. Always on the hunt for a new wreath to grace our doors, this project from Beautiful Nest would be delicious with a rose or yellow velvet ribbon for the Spring.  It's all about texture. We love these burlap rosettes from FabuLESSly Crafty.  Anything burlap makes our hearts sing. Since we have a thing for … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday~Grow

Winter is coming to an end. It's the end of a season and we are looking forward...forward to seeing the seeds we planted last year,  bloom and grow into something beautiful. At first sight, those seeds will peer out of the hardened earth...slowly, testing to see if the air is warm and ready to receive them. Then, as they gather a bit of confidence feeling that the world is ready to receive them, they will peek their heads,  stretch their arms...open. All the beauty stored inside that little package, will … [Read more...]
