30 Days of Gratitude

Day 1

The beautiful barn wood mantle the hubby built!

 There are so many things to be thankful for everyday, but I am trying to be aware of the little things that we may miss in our day to day world. Today is November 1st, my first day in 30 Days of Gratitude. So today, I am grateful for my husband, and his never-ending patience with my crazy ideas and building plans. For building me beautiful reclaimed barn wood mantles (because I need something to hang stockings off of, of course!) Or risking bodily harm to hang ladders from the ceiling at all hours of the night. He does beautiful work behind the scenes and I don't give him nearly enough credit. I love you honey, thanks for putting up with all my crazy ideas! 

 

What are you thankful for? I'd love to hear about it!

Breakfast at Tiffanys Bridal Shower

I wanted to share with you all a bridal shower we hosted for my lovely Sister-In-Law, Elisabeth. I had a lot of fun putting it together and I have to say thanks to my wonderful husband, and my Mom for all of their hard work. I couldn't have done it without you both!

My Mom and I after the shower!

 The shower had a Breakfast at Tiffanys feel with lots of Tiffany Box Blue accents and of course a LOT of bling! 

I dug through my cupboards and found the linens and crochet overlays that were my grandmothers, a whole lot of silver (which a very loving friend polished for me), and pulled out all of my punch bowls and vintage floral dishes. 

The centerpieces surrounded by loose "diamonds!" My daughter had a great time putting these out on the tables and then collecting them when it was over! She's such a girl!

My vintage floral dishes. I just pick them up whenever I find them. I love them!

 My mom graciously loaned me all of the tables and chairs and most of the large furniture I actually had on hand, waiting to be painted so it could go in the store for Christmas. Needless to say, I got busy and painted, fixed, re-upholstered, and re-purposed items for the event. 

The seating. I just loved the mismatched chairs all painted white and the blue mason jars with Hydrangeas.

 

I love the lace on the vintage white linens. This bistro set is just dreamy!

The wedding ring game.

 I am happy at how it all came together. What do you think? I hope you like the end result!

The spread! Yummy!

The Flower Girls having a great time! (My daughter is on the left!)

 

The gift table with vintage wedding photos and a suitcase for the cards.

Look at all those beautiful gifts!

It was a lovely day filled with lots of laughter and yummy food! 

Engagement photos hung from an old frame with clothespins!

The Tiffany Blue tutu, I picked up at Remnants of the Past! It is soooo yummy!

 Now ... on to the wedding!

Me and my beautiful Sis-In-Law, aka The Bride! Love you Liz!

Have a wonderful weekend!
