Good morning all! How was your weekend? Unfortunately mine was a little hectic as my little one, Katelyn had an ear infection. Thankfully now that the antibiotics have kicked in she’s doing much better. Ahhh, nothing like a peaceful night sleep. With my time spent playing nurse I fell behind in my DIY project I had in store for all of you this week. So I leave with you with a sneak peak.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and I leave you all with this photograph that I absolutely love. The colors are amazing with the soft turquoises and tans. And the way the light glistens on the water and china… it’s just beautiful.

Hello All! I’ve completely fallen in love with this absolutely lovely stirling silver velvet tufted armchair. I love, love that fabric and would give anything to know where I could get my hands on some of that! Oh and did I mention the dark steal blue dresser in the back? How handsome is that baby? This is just one of many photo’s, to see more eye candy visit: { Simply Seductive }.

I love these DIY Faux Leather Accessories from Ashley of Make It and Love It. They are so easy to make and look totally adorable!

Good morning all! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I have a super easy, really fun DIY project for all of you today. It’s a burlap wrapped vase embellished with stencils and lace. I love how it dresses up the vase and with the added embellishments you can really tailor it to any occasion you may be having. Oh and did I mention it’s a super inexpensive project?! Burlap is only $2.49 a yard and the added embellishments where around $3.00. I had already purchased my stencils. They are Ed Roth stencils and can be purchased here. Below is the tutorial.

I’m so excited, this weekend my hubby and I will be going on a date nite. It’s been way too long and I’m really looking forward to having a little time for just the two of us. How about you, what excited plans do you have for this weekend? Well, I hope it’s fabulous! ~ Elizabeth


This embroidery piece can be found on Etsy from Campfire Chic.

Erin of the blog Lucky by Design made this super cute skirt using this tutoria from Freshly Picked. I love the fabric and the style… hmmm I may have to take a stab at trying to make a skirt too!


PS Erin is also the super creative genius behind the Hall Entry Post.

The Mother/Daughter duo over at A Spoonful of Sugar have out done themselves today with this super cute DIY project, a Passport Cover. Go on over there and check it out!

Stephanie over at Somewhat Simple was kind of enough to feature my DIY Placemat/Wrap project as part of a theme “Placemat Creations” and I came across this super cute, super easy project from Blue Eyed Freckle. It’s a clutch made from a placemat. Click here for the tutorial. How adorable is it?!

I’m so excited to share today’s post with you, since it combines two of my favorite things: cute shoes… and a girl with an amazing vision to improve the lives of others! Sseko Designs {“say-co”} partners with an all-girl’s school in Kampala, Uganda and employs recent high school graduates to make these sandals as a way to earn money to continue on to University. Founder Liz Forkin is passionate about empowering women in developing countries, and she’s created such an artistic way to contribute.


Oh and the shoes… let me gush!
I love that they have interchangable straps that allow you to coordinate with any outfit. I love that you can wear them so many ways! Because the straps are changable you can thread them any way you like. Check out Liz’s YouTube page for great demonstrations on different ways to wear your sandals. Did I mention also that Sseko’s are great for your bridesmaids? Sseko offers customised straps to match any wedding colour. Click here to find out more.


Thanks Liz for inspiring me and now I’m off to purchase me a beautiful pair of sandals for an amazing cause!
