Have a great and wonderful Halloween weekend, my dears. Enjoy the parties, costumes, and of course, candy!!! Also, don’t forget to change your clocks back this Saturday for Daylight Savings Time.

Found this wonderful freebie by Rachel of Benign Objects through Head vs. Heart and I just had to share. Simply download the Gettin’ Hitched Door Hanger, print on cardstock, cut the marked slits and holes, et voila! Fun li’l pretties for your Big Day!

Love, love, love this freebie set! Clever Someday’s 09 KutUps is a dingbat font for die cutters that has all the coolest shapes you can use for instant labels, monogram backgrounds, and more. The best part, no worries if you only have MS Word or PowerPoint available. The font works just as well sans any fancy graphics editing software.  You can download, install the font, and type away!

A small request from creator Kay of Clever Someday:  if you enjoy this font, please consider paying it forward by donating to Ronald McDonald House Charities.  Thank you!

Part 5 of 5: The last installment to my French-vintage-goodies series. Hope you liked it!

Perhaps it’s the rustic charm combined with the traditional red stripes. I’m not sure what it is, but vintage French linens always gets me, le sigh.   We know that the gorgeous antique ones can get quite pricey, so it’s such a welcome treat to see this DIY alternative courtesy of Country Living. Check it out, inexpensive canvas turned into French stripe tablecloth!

OMG, these photos totally had me at burlap and mercury glass.  Swoon, swoon! What an absolutely gorgeous and inspiring DIY by Julie over at EAB Designs. Using a do-it-yourself silkscreen printing kit, she created these custom burlap table runners for her dining room table. I could actually see these do double-duty as table numbers at a reception. More pics and resource info at Julie’s blog. Check it out!
