Holiday Centerpiece

image.attributes.post_excerpt
This year I was inspired to use my glassware in a holiday centerpiece for my dining room table. I bought these snow covered evergreen trees (you can find them at most craft stores) and then used various sized wine glasses and a champagne flute to showcase them.

Vintage Day-Glo
Another amazing find from this past weekend’s Randolph Market, this day-glo necklace. I plan on pairing it with a plain white v-neck and jeans or wearing it to work to add some interest to my simple black sheath dress.

Dress Form Makeover

I wanted to share a project that I completed last fall. I found this wrought iron dress form at the Randolph Antique Market for only $30, sanded it down and sprayed it with lacquer spray paint (two coats). The addition of a tiny bird (can find them at any craft store) gives it a bit... Read more »
