She sends back iphone photos like this.

Anyway, this gallery wall making has got us thinking...

The Art of the Bar Tray

My friend Betsy and I took a quick trip to Homegoods yesterday.  "I don't need anything" is what she proclaimed on our way through the automatic doors.  But Alas, wandering through all of the great holiday barware, she decided it's time for a festive bar tray.  It started with a new brass martini shaker and a pair of great $2.99 "Cheers" glasses and voila!  An impromptu mini bar!

Love her house!

Here is some more bar tray inspiration...

Holiday: Chalk Ink Pens

Jennifer at Rambling Renovators Has been going crazy with Chalk Ink Pens, available here. 

They're perfect for writing on glass, windows  and mirrors.  They wipe off with water, too.
