The Thrift Tiered Tray

Most of you know I love to thrift. I have been on the hunt for a particular item. That idem would be a tiered platter tray, or a cake tray. 

I'm going to host some summer parties and I need some sweet food trays. Well, My hunt hasn't been successful at my local thirft store. When all else fails, make it right? This is what I came up with. . .

 $4.50 and an ample amount of Gorilla Glue Super Glue.... that turned into this. . .

My 3-tiered platter! Not only can you stack all three, but

You can just stack the two for a cake stand, or

Stack the base and the bowl for some chips and dip, or. . .

Separate them all and create 3 different trays!

I think they turned out quite lovely and completely encase my personality!

 I am such a fan of amber glass and I love how all these components came together! 

It would be lovely with all glass plates, mix and match to see what you come up with!

WHoooooooooooo Smells.....

My Owl does. She stinks as a matter of fact.

When I say Stink, I truly mean wonderful. Meet the Owl sachet. She is stuffed with yummy vanilla smells!

Even my puppy Grace thinks she smells sweet.

That is, until she felt her snoozing spot had been invaded by the owl.

So she nudged her off the couch. She's a sweet heart.

This was a fun little inventive idea. I have a lavender sachet in my pantie drawer. I saw it this morning and thought how darn funny it would be to have an owl hanging out in there.

She was easy to whip up and took me about 30 minutes!

You too can have a little owl hang out in your pantie drawer, or you know anywhere you would like to have a sweet smelling owl hang out. :)

Who Gives A Hoot?

These two certainly do!

{Gimme Five Man!}

Aren't these little guys cute! I would tote these guys with me wherever I went; if it weren't odd for an adult to do so.

{Someone is peaking}

After I was done stitching them all up, my husband promptly said

"Oh! Those are so cool hun, they look like the birds from Angry Birds"

So there you have it.

I on the other hand think they are quite fantastic. 

Here are their stunning mugs.

They were quick to whip up and would be a hoot of a gift for anyone!

Whooooo Says You Can't Have Cute Grocery Totes?

This was a feat for me! I'm actually really proud of this bag. It has been the best piece of sewn something I've made. Yay for overcoming a hurtle! I saw this fabric in our local fabric store and fell in love with it! Whoooo cares if its kind of boy-ish; Dana over at MADE is celebrating the boy month! Whooot for boys! I will be creating multiples of this bag!

Owl Always Love You.

I {Heart} Owls.

This week I am celebrating my love for Owls. I think they are the cutest little buggars.

I started off with designing my owl little owl friend! I can stick him on anything! I can make some cute stationary, Gift Tags, Cards, Address Labels, Sticky Notes the list can go on and on.

I am a card giver. I think sending someone a card is much more personal than sending an e-mail. Don't get me wrong, I love technology, I just think there are somethings it can't replace. Needless to say, I send out a lot of cards! Thank You's, Congrats, Happy Birthdays, Thinking Of You's, Get Wells, Happy Anythings ect. Meaning, I go through a lot of address labels. I have a lot of family to send things too and can't stand writing my name and address out all the time; plus I'm kind of particular on how I address my envelopes. 

I used this little Owl friend to create my very own owl address labels!

See...

I also made some simple, but cute owl stationary! 

                                                                    

         

I used some of my hand made paper and some cute stamps I purchased from Stampin' Up. You can find my paper tutorial HERE and the cute stamps from Stampin' Up HERE

I have made that cute little Owl available for download, Check out the Tutorial section for the download, or click the Owl photo!

Until Next Time,

Peace & Love
