DIY: Potato Print Packaging

Last night I was on Pinterest and I found this DIY that I can't wait to try! Don't have any stamps or sponges to spare? That's okay, just grab a potato that you were going to use for dinner and start peeling! Check out more DIY's from one of my favorite Boards by Bridgette. To see more details for this particular DIY go to, Simply Sublime! 

DIY: Candle Holders

As a child we had zoo animals as candle holders, eventually they became rusty and unusable, and I've never been able to find them since. So you can imagine how happy I was when I saw this particular DIY on Seesaw Designs. It turned out really great, and it's easy to personalize to the theme of the party! Personally I like the dinosaurs!

Drill a hole into the plastic animal, insert candle holder and spray paint!

Celebrate: Christmas Wrapping Paper

Brussel Sprout Wrapping Paper

Sayyyy What?! Yes that's right, Nancy and Betty were kind enough to sell this healthy and delicious paper this year (they also have Brussel Sprout Cards!)

For the more conventional folk there's the classic Candy Cane wrapping paper, which is just as lovely.



Here is some very stripy sellotape, also from Nancy and Betty, this is a great way to spice up any box when you've run out of paper, or are just trying to cut down on you "paper footprint" this year.

Where it's At: The Webster

If you're visiting or live near Miami, make sure to make The Webster a priority. 

"The Webster is a 20,000 square foot luxury multi-brand boutique located in the heart of Miami Beach, in a historical Art Deco building designed in 1939 by famed architect Henry Hohauser. The three-level boutique is devoted to fashion"

Not only do they house some of the most coveted fashions in the world, The Webster can also be used to hold parties and events of the raddest kind. Don't feel like shopping? Lounge about on the once hotel lobby sipping on coffee, tea or champers. Sounds like a lovely afternoon to me!
