Tag Sale

One of my favorite designers is having a tag sale.  I am defiantly going to mark my calendar for this event.  Check her out at Caitlin Creer Interiors.  

Memories

My Grandpa and Grandma had this swing set I spent countless hours swing on.   It was very basic.  Two swings and a teeter toter.  The seats were made out of wood.  I loved pulling up to Grandma and Grandpas house seeing the willow tree swaying in the breeze, the old barn and box car we loved to play on, the canal to cool our feet off in and the swing set!  It was a paradise to me.

When I found these pictures on Kiki and Polly, it reminded me of my childhood visits to Grandma and Grandpas.  My Grandpa passed away this last week.  I have been thinking a lot about my time with Grandpa and Grandma.  They are both gone now.  I can't wait to see them again someday.  For now, I can hold on to all my wonderful memories.

Happy Easter

How sweet are these doily nests?  I think I am going to make some of these for next Easter.  I was a little to late this year.  Happy Easter everyone.  Hope you all had a lovely day.

Get ready to swap!

We have the winners of our 365 swap giveaway.  Start getting ready, I can't wait to see you. Check out the Cultivate sight to see how we picked the winners.

Love at first sight

I found these on etsy.  It was love at first sight!  I am going to have to make me some of these. Time to start shopping for old forks, or if I get lazy just buy them from basilicusjones.

What  a beautiful and classy way to reuse silverware. Want to make your own? Find the how-to here.

Custom Easter Headbands

I had so much fun doing this project.  These headbands are for two of the cutest little girls I know. I can't wait to see them in their Easter dresses with these headbands as their accessory.

 

Spring Boutique Recap

I was a bit sad to wake up to rain, but the day turned out to be pretty nice.  My sister in-law Erin was nice to let me do this boutique at her house.  I thought it turned out really great.  Her house is darling. It was a fun place to set my stuff up in.  Not to mention her super cute bike we put out front!  

Here are some of the goodies people took home.  

Thank you so much to all who came!!  I hope you are all enjoying your purchases.  If you didn't make it to the boutique and still need Easter or Mothers Day gifts, I have a few things left over.  You can call me @ 801-644-6664 or e-mail me @ ngmcconkie@hotmail.com.  I am sure I can hook you up with the perfect gift.

Extended Hours

Upon request I am extending the hours of the boutique Saturday to 10-2!  Hope you can make it.  Don't forget if you are a blog follower you get 10% off an item.

I will leave you with a few more sneak peeks.  See you tomorrow.

365 Odds and Ends Swap Giveaway

My Cultivate friends and I have been planning a spring swap.  It seams like everyone is in the mood to de-cluter their homes and bring in something fresh at this time of year.  We decided to call our swap "the 365 swap" because of this yard sale we all hope to go to some day.  It is 365 miles long.  We bring things to the swap that we may still love but no longer use.

We put together a super fun creative atmosphere with lots of yummy food.  Add good company and who wouldn't want to come? These are photos of the first annual 356 swap last fall.

This swap is invite only, but... we thought we would give 5 lucky people the chance to come.  All you have to do is leave a comment on our Cultivate blog.  The swap is Thursday, May 5th.  You must enter the contest by midnight Wednesday, April 20th.  The winner will be announced on April 21st.   Go HERE to enter the contest!  Best wishes swap lovers.
