VINTAGE FABRIC SCRAP WREATH TUTORIAL.

i pulled out some vintage fabric the other night,

and managed to put together a fun little wreath!

inspiration here.
it was so super easy!

MATERIALS:

1) scraps of vintage fabric

2) wreath form (mine was straw, but styrofoam works too)

3) glue gun

4) fabric scissors or a rotary cutter & mat

5) embellishments (rosettes, fabric yo-yos, buttons, anything!)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) lay out some coordinating fabrics in an order you like.

2) cut some strips in whatever length & width you like, but be consistent.

3) wrap the strips around your wreath form,
using a little streak of hot glue to secure each wrap.

4) decorate your wreath with any embellishments.

5) hang it with a strip of fabric, lace, or braided yarn.

antique baby blessing gown.

this gown is over 100 years old and is handmade.
it was given to violet by her nana's best friend, marsha.
i cried when i opened it at the baby shower.
so special! i just love the lace detailing!
it didn't quite fit violet when we were ready to bless her,
but it will forever be a family heirloom.

i just realized,

 i never shared photos from the baby shower that will's mom's friends threw.

it was gorgeous! every little detail was so special.

it was pink & white themed, and we had asian food :)

 loved the cute pink lemonade bottles.

 the candy bar was adorable!

 here i am opening the blessing gown gift!

 the wonderful ladies who hosted the shower.

 me and violet's nanas.

they really spoiled violet and me!

around the house.

some fun home decor pins off my pinterest boards.
it's fun to dream up how i'd like to decorate our space.
i'm loving greens, blues & yellows.
