Daily Doily

I know my posts have been few and far between dearies! I have a laundry list of excuses...it was my 8th wedding anniversary last week, I have sewn so much garland for Sept that I actually had to stop to let the machine cool off, and today is my first ever school day since Henry starts preschool. My little baby is going to school! Luckily, I'm throwing a miniparty for the four of us, all of which will be done in 4 hours. Really. I will show you how to do it, too.  I haven't done anything but plan.  I was being especially frugal and wanted to use what we have.  Being able to throw a party together in an afternoon is a good skill set to have, I figure I should start practicing in case he wins a school election or spelling bee later on.

But I will show you a little piece of lovely that I want to add to my collection.  I bought these wood coasters by Uncommon some time ago.  Now I want these. 

Aren't these little rubber doilies adorable?  I love that they come in black, (and pink and green) too.

wood doilies...super!

I had my cup of coffee and was doing my morning rounds.  Saw these sweeties, a set of five laser cut birch coasters, and attempted not once, but twice to buy them. Too slow joe...blast!  So, I shot Uncommon on etsy an email to see if they have any more.  So cute! They even have a super large one.  You know I love girly and this is just awesome.

Yet another obsession of mine...doilies. While flitting around Veer, I saw these lovlies. How adorable! Love the simplicity of the ruffled edge and they are made out of unused newsprint! Then, you can recycle them after use! Perfectly superb!
