Wander over Wednesday.

I have some more DIYs in the line up for you, to be shared soon. My October is finding itself busy (and it has been beautiful outside, so we have been riding bikes and picnicing at the park more often than not). In the meantime, wander over to these links for some inspiration this Wednesday...

  • This is such a cute idea, perfect for reusing old t-shirts, and wonderful if you are loving chunky necklaces like I am. Wander over and see how to do this project at I still Love You.
  • Wander over to Thoughts by Natalie for some soul loving. Read her article Finding our Unique Kind of Beautiful. You're sure to find more ways to remind yourself you are cherished, loved, and beautiful when reading the content of Natalie's blog.
  • Windy days may find you hating your bangs, if you have them, so why not braid them and rid yourself of crazy wind blown fringe. Wander over to A Beautiful Mess for more on how to get the braided bangs look.
  • Wander over to Happily Grey for Fashion Sense and Style, and a bit more on how to empower women to overcome poverty.

{Guest Post: Happily Grey} A Pop of Sunflowers!

Hi! My name is Mary from Happily Grey and I could not be more excited to share one of my favorite DIY projects that I recently made. The idea first came from the all addicting Pinterest via Whit's Amuse Bouche! Since we recently just moved into a a new space, I have been knee deep in several projects attempting to fill vacant wall spaces in a more creative, personalized light! This project caught my eye for many reasons (small vase bottles, natural twine, and the pop of sunflowers & weeds) AND it is sooo simple! It literally took me 1 hr from start to finish! Here are a few of my pictures of the needed supplies and shots along the way! For the full tutorial please visit the original Hanging Wallflower creator Whit's Amuse Bouce

 A few tips I can add:
  • I found my old frame in the "damaged" section at Michaels for $5. I liked the original color so I did not paint or sand the frame. 
  • Michaels and Walmart have the small vase glass available for $1 a piece. Pick out pieces that have a lip. 
  • I also found my flowers and weeds from Michaels ...great selection and I bought when they were 50% off! 
Hope your enjoy this DIY as much as I did! Thanks Lauren for letting me share my DIY inspiration. I am loving your blog and everything you are doing...you are truly talented and have such a creative eye! Check out my favorite post by Lauren herehere, and here!
