I was in need of a gift bag for a birthday gift and couldn’t find one in my mix of party supplies so I decided to decorate one that I already had. This is so easy, makes your gift bag one of a kind and adds so much to the gift.

Supplies:

Paper Shopping Bag

Scrapbook Paper

Mod Podge

Scissors

I used an old American Eagle bag.

Mod Podge your select scrapbook paper onto the shopping bag, covering the words on the bag.

I repeatd the process on the other side. Make sure both sides dry completely before using.

Lastly you cut some scraps from the scrapbook paper and punch holes into them to use as a gift tag. Use scraps of string and ribbon to lace through the holes of the gift tag to attach to the gift bag.

Recycling and saving money all in one!

Nothing like waiting for the last minute to finish my daughters Halloween costume. I am just happy it is done and she is happily on her way.

As I was getting my daughter ready for her debut of Holly Golightly I decided the pearls needed something more and looking at the photo of Audrey Hepburn in my daughters room I figured we should add a little rhinestone pin to the pearls.

I just read an article from Greenglancy about Baby Bean Vintage Daywear, which is one-of-a-kind, girly clothing made with 100% vintage fabrics.

I am impressed with how these outfits are made and that Baby Bean is recycling vintage fabric into very fashionable, cute little girl clothing. Of course when someone recycles something into something fabulous it puts a smile on my face. Recycling doesn’t have to be a bad thing, in fact the way these clothes are put together you would think the fabric was new but made to look retro. I love it.

If you are looking for an eco-friendly way to celebrate a babies arrival, or just need some clothes for your daughter, check out the lovely clothes they have at Baby Bean.

I found this lovely vintage 70′s dress a few weeks ago but was looking for the right time to wear it. So the other night I had the opportunity to wear it, along with this cute 60’s pink faux fur trimmed coat. My husband and I had our date night and went out to for dinner at this new restaurant with our friends and then walked around the city. It was a lovely night and the coat kept me warm enough, but I should have chose better shoes to wear. The tall black boots ended up giving me blisters by the end of our mile walk.
