The past couple months have been insane around here. So I decided to slow things down a bit, and take a break from blogging ~ which frees up some of my time to take care of me, and visit with friends and family this holiday season.

I might pop in here and there…but I am telling myself that I will resume blogging daily on January 1, 2012! But I will be sure to wish you all ‘Happy Holidays’ around Christmas time…so check back in. Until then, be well and safe this season…and I can’t wait to start off the new year with bunches and bunches of goodness!

Wishing you everything on your wish list this year ;-)

I mean ~ I am seriously OVER THE MOON about this!  That drafting table is AMAZING, and the stool…both are just sooo perfect with all the soft threads and sweet details.  This little setup has just made it onto my faves list ;-)  Hope you are loving it too!

 is the perfect piece in my collection for the ‘Star of the Week’ this week.  Here’s why…

…because it can be transformed from a pretty plant holder to a spooky potions holder!  This was from a photo shoot I did last year for fun, and posted it on my wedding blog, Luna and Chloe Weddings.  I posted it in two parts that can be seen HERE and HERE if you’d like ;-)

Wishing you a wonderful Halloween my little lovelies.  May it be filled with lots of treats!

Okay, it doesn’t look like much really.  But I LOVE this peace as it really is versatile.  I love them used as escort.  Just attach some clothespins and a tag and voila!  Also, hanging frames and escort cards are fun too.  And I love this piece just as decor at a wedding.  Vintage photographs clipped on would be perfect.  And it’s great as a centerpiece with pictures attached as well.

Of course, you can always add a light and hang.  A group of them bunched together is a look I adore ;-)  Plus there are lots of other ways to decorate it as well.  How about a cake stand?  See…lots of ideas!  So tell me my dears…who would you use?

Oh, and just so you know I have a couple of these in different sizes.  Most just frames, and a couple with some detailing on them like above.

I just love it filled with drinks, don’t you?

Yes, I really want one of these again!  I had one at one time, but then all my stuff was stolen…long story…but I sooo want another one.   I love it not only for a drink holder, but for photo shoots, planted with lots of plants, to hold gifts…the options are endless!  How about floating escort cards?  Could be darling!  What would you use it for loves?

Good morning loves!  Having a good morning so far?  Mine is turning out quite nice…as my headache I have had for the last 5 days has final seemed to lighten up ~ thank heavens!  So I don’t feel like I am living in a fog, or my head is going to explode at any point in time…and you know what?  That is an AMAZING feeling.

Okay, enough about me! So yesterday I shared with you my new black drawer as a ’Purchase Peek,’ and I suggested some ways in which to use.  And in all my time laying in bed pinning away, I ran across some inspiration ~ so here’s is your Inventory Inspiration for today ;-)

My INVENTORY… 

And the INSPIRATION…

How darling is that? I am loving the doily detail on the programs too, aren’t you? Just one inspiring idea for a drawer ;-)

Anyhoo, since I didn’t leave the house pretty much all weekend…I didn’t do any shopping.  However, I picked up this black drawer  last week that I have not shared yet…

Cute, no?  I HEART drawers!  There are sooooo many ways in which to use it’s silly.  Seriously, no joke here darlings.  You can use it all the way above, as well as flip it over and use it as a cake/cupcake stand, or a riser for flowers or favors or just about anything else.  I love it on it’s side with old books and a small bouquet inside.  I also love it in the first two pictures to hold programs too.  How do you think you would use it darlings?

You see, my sissy (who lives in Florida) picked up a table EXACLTY like the one below for me a few weeks back!!!  Super sweet fo her, no?  And then yesterday I just happened to run across it on a blog…and found out that the pictures of the table below (NOT my pictures, but I have the SAME table) just sold for 200 Euros.  200 Euros…oh my!

Eeks ~ I can tell you this much my dears…my sissy did not pay that for it ;-)  Granted the table is in Florida, and I am here in California, but I was hoping to pick it up and carry back on the plane with me when I go to Florida in December.  And if I can’t bring it on the plane, then I will just ship it as it isn’t that heavy.  BUT if someone wanted to rent it before then…well, I would get it here quick ;-)

Anyhoo, this is what it looks like all folded up…

And this is what it looks like once opened…

How AMAZING is this?  Utterly genius, no?  I love that it is sooo compact.  I CANNOT wait to see it in person.  And the only reason I haven’t shared it with you until now is that I didn’t have a good picture of it!  And while these are not my pictures, and I will take my own once I get the table, I just had to share these with you…so you could see the fabulous ‘Star of the Week’ this week ~ courtesy of my sissy…YAY!

THANK YOU SISSY ;-)  1.4.3. to infinity and back!

So here is my INVENTORY loves:  Oil Lamps ~ Group 1…

And more of my INVENTORY:  Oil Lamps ~ Group 2…

And here is the INSPIRATION…

Can’t you just picture the glow at night?  It would be oh so pretty!

And while you can use them as centerpieces, I think they are also pretty on welcome and escort tables, as well as dessert tables…and just about anywhere else…do I dare say it ~ even the restroom ;-)  However, I do adore them used as centerpieces, and they look darling sitting a top some unbound books with masons filled with flowers and some other pretty details.

Hope this warms up your day loves!  I will see you back here tomorrow with the ‘Star of the Week’…that my sissy bought for me…YAY ;-)

So I was going to post this on Friday last week, but since I didn’t I thought today would be as good a day as any to do it!  I picked up this sweet shelf with sweets treats in mind…

How cute would it be with cupcakes, mini tarts or pies lined up on it?  Sweet, no?  Eeks, I am really on a shelf kinda kick these days…need to look for something new!  I will be adding this shelf to the site today…just so you know ;-)  Hope you are having a sweet day darlings!

P.S. ~ Don’t forget…it’s the last day to enter the giveaway for the handcrafted pom pom tassel garland on my wedding blog Luna and Chloe Weddings.  Click right HERE to get there quick and enter!  Good lunck ;-)
