Well, I haven't exactly been blogging away as furiously as I thought I might be but summer was busy! I tried to be an "available" mom, so spending hours on the computer needed to wait until school started. Here it is mid-October. Where has the time gone? I can't help but wonder how the Super Women of blogland make crafts, cook dinner AND take pictures of all of that AND blog about it!!! I don't get it. I can't do it. I am JEALOUS!! Maybe one day I can figure out how to "do it all" but for now... I'll just be an occasional blogger!
So I DID have time to do a quick little perk up to some new lanterns that I bought at Home Goods a few months ago. We had company coming over to hang out by the pool and we needed some color on the patio so I got busy!
Pretty huh? They reminded me of the WAY more expensive ones in the Pottery Barn catalog. I think these were something like $22 each.
So here's what I gathered up to help these out a little...
I had all of this around the house. Pots, burlap remnants, candles, cute little frog & pretty ribbon. So I tied a knot, stuffed some burlap, inserted candles (I used jar candles so the fabric would not catch on fire!!!) and snuggled the lanterns with the frog on a tray to get this:
What do you think??? Cute?
Not cute?
Whatever your opinion, they added a little color when I needed it. It's now fall... guess it's time for a change!! ; ) Any ideas?
