Before & After: Thrift Store Shelf

Thrifted Shelf-Before

When I saw this little shelf at the thrift store I got really excited.  I love fun thrift store furniture but I do not like faux wood pressed board or anything brown for the most part.  So I painted it Pistachio.  It took about 2 cans of spray paint because I maybe should have sanded it better but I am happy with the result. A little paint really helps sometimes.

Inspiration Board

As previously stated, I am taking an online Indie Business class.  I love it and so far it has been really fun and helpful.  Our second project was to make an inspiration board.  The purpose of this inspiration board is to basically organize your inspiration and choose a style that fits your business.  Although the details of said business are not ironed out yet, I gave it a shot. The really cute Return Address/Post To labels are from the lovely blog Creature Comforts.  The fun decorative tape...

Valentine with heart and doily envelope

I know Valentine's Day has passed but I couldn't resist posting these cute Valentine's I made for friends.

The Mississippi Stamp and the Love Stamps were my favorite and the hardest to find.

I love the pretty vintage stamps we used on our wedding invitation envelopes so much. The envelopes we used for our wedding invitations were 100% recycled paper from Action Envelope.   We used vintage stamps that I purchased on Ebay, for the invitations we sent to the wedding party, close friends and family. For all of the other guests, we used the new love stamps which were perfect. Since hiring a calligrapher didn't really fit into our budget and I had no intention of writing addresses on all of our invitations since my husband invited half of  Starkville, we decided on using...
