I seem to have an abundance of dried flowers right now…I collected a bunch a while back and ever since, I’ve been coming up with ways to incorporate them into my home decor (see last week’s wall decor DIY). Read more »
I’ve been doing some redecorating at home lately, mostly centered around two new additions: a couch and a record player (and ever-growing record collection). Read more »

I love this. My kids bring me flowers all the time and I hesitate to throw them out. This would be a cute way to extend their life, for sure! I share this post on my blog! http://www.doodlela.com/2013/04/keeping-it-simple.html

I think once your flowers are dry, put them in a container and add a few drops of essential oil. Dry flower as like this rough.
Today’s DIY is more of an idea that I fell in love as an alternative to the typical New Year’s resolutions. I don’t know about you but I never remember my resolutions – by February they’re pretty much forgotten. In an attempt to remember them this year, I decided to make a dream jar. Read more »

I would love to know what type of flower that is there with the rose, it has the most beautiful lavender hues!

I’m not sure what’s more fun – buying gifts for people that you love, or wrapping them! I’ve always loved wrapping gifts and it’s funny because I’m terrible at doing it the traditional way… Read more »

I love this! Great ideas! A while ago my little cousin was having a Harry Potter birthday party, and to wrap her gift, I took a map of the U.K. and drew a little castle where Hogwarts is supposed to be. Then I tied it with a pink ribbon to match the pink in the map. She LOVED it! Wrapping things in maps is one of my favorite things to do. Very cute.

I did something similiar this year wrapping all of my gifts in brown paper, then watercoloring the tags, or painting nifty bows and plaids on the paper. Everybody loved the personal touch, plus it was a fun project during the snowy days leading up to the holidays!
UPDATE: This post originally ran on November 7th 2012 but we think these would make super cute accessories for holiday parties and New Year’s Eve so we brought it back!
In the spirit of our November catalog, for today’s DIY I wanted to do something whimsical and inspired by fairy tales, that would make for a fun accessory this holiday season. Read more »

Too sweet! If you want to keep the pointy bits sturdy without glue, just fold the little hooks at the ends in opposite directions, so that they also wrap around the head piece in opposite directions! xx

Saving this for a rainy day or a play date with my little sister. She would love this.
I’ve never actually had a New Year’s Eve party but I’ve always thought it would be fun to. I love coming up with simple handmade party favors and there’s tons of fun things you can do for this holiday. Here are 3 easy party favors you can make with very little supplies! Read more »

I also love glittery stuffs! This is a great idea for parties. You can just customize or make some changes of the designs to fit your concept.

It looks very adorable! I love the glitters on. :) Happy Holidays!
Our December catalog has launched and inside its pages are beautiful decoupages of botanical flowers. The graphics bring life and feeling. They add a freshness to our winter day just by looking at them. So to go alongside our catalog’s decoupage theme, we thought we’d bring to life a DIY using decoupage itself with the graphics from the catalog. Read more »

These are the best! I'm making them for my mom, my boyfriend's mom, and myself for Christmas! http://brownfinches.tumblr.com/post/38183147968/diy-decoupage-jars-im-giving-some-of-these-as

It's nice to see the art of decoupage finally being shared around! I've known about it for a while now - a family member taught it me when I was back in Lithuania for a holiday as it's very popular there. It's also reminded me that I need to do some more! P.S You can always use art designs from paper napkins! Just mind that you peel it to the last layer and be very gentle :)
I love photo booths. I loved photo booths back in 2011 when I made one for a New Year’s Eve party, I loved them in August when I wrote this décor crush post, I loved them the day I was born, and I love them right now. Read more »

Thanks for discussing about Portable Photo Booths for Sale. I appreciate your work and this blog post. Great work, keep this carry on. I would like to visit again and like to read some more interesting information.

Great way to make your own photo booth.I really liked the way the strings were laden with foliage and flowers.They added a natural and greener look to the photo booth.Basically the steps are quite simple and can be done easily with all the decoration stuff lying around.Photo booths are generally portable but it would be a bit difficult to build a portable photo booth.Portable or not,photo booths are always a hit among people.
I love New Year’s Eve. I have definitely had some years when I didn’t feel that way, but now, it’s a great excuse to celebrate with your favorite people and just let loose and have a good time. I love thinking back on the past year and all that has happened, and I especially love the feeling of a whole new year stretched out before you like a blank piece of paper waiting to be filled with stories and adventures.

Ashley - yes you can wash them, but I would recommend doing it by hand, not in the dishwasher :)

Molly - If you're able to avoid spraying the top portion of the glass they should be perfectly fine to drink from!
I’ve been in love with bird décor for quite some time. Cages, feathers, nests and little birds of all kinds have found their way into my home and they’re certainly not going anywhere. Read more »
