Key Details

Readily available at flea markets and antique shops, old keys are a great way to bring a bit of vintage flair to any party or wedding. Decorate invitations, boutonnieres, or even bride’s maids with antique keys. Hang them from your bouquet, give them away as favors, or dangle them from centerpieces and place cards. Keys are small enough to put almost anywhere but charming enough to make a statement. Best part is, they won’t break the bank either...except for maybe the ones at Tiffany's!

Saturday afternoon

{ image by Tina Rupp found over on desire to inspire }

This amazing centerpiece is not only showstopping, it is simple to make yourself. Use any color, with birds, butterflies, dried flowers or any that inspires you.

Friday night with friends

{ by Catherine Ekström via desire to inspire }

ah, indoors of course

Although I hear the temps will be climbing in the next few days, we are still buried in the white stuff and dreaming of sunshine! I love the bold giant florals and botanics on this tablecloth accented by the glow of candles and simplicity of the baguettes and poured wine....waiting for their guests.

Fontify It!

Thanks to Jaime at Design Milk, I came accross Fontifier.com! It's an awesome website where you can actually create a font using your own handwriting. Great for scrapbooking, address labels, letter writing or table cards, once you dowload your font you can use it for pretty much anything! Well worth the $9. Above is a preview of what my font would look like. I think it could use some tweaking, but thanks to the genius that is Fontifier, I can do so, free of charge before I purchase my font! Fabulous!

Alice in (Winter) Wonderland

Add a little yellow to the usual green and a take a little away from the regular red and you'll have a spectrum of hues like magenta, blush, chartreuse and moss to bring some whimsy to your holiday home. Bring in some forest friends, experiment with pattern, light and scale. There's definitely some magic to be found in these psychedelic seasonals.
