open house snapshots

Finally. Some pics from the open house. Next year I won’t wait until 6:59pm the night of the open house to take photos of everything. But you get the general idea.

Journals were on the kitchen table next to the dessert counter. My Mom made pumpkin cookies, oatmeal fudge bars, cream cheese brownies and a tasty hot holiday drink. (Let me know if you need the recipes!)

Sticker packs were hung on the mantle. Side note about the clothespins: I thought it would be a good idea to stain all of the clothespins… sort of a messy project and about half of them are glued shut. Oops. Probably won’t do that again. Anyway, don’t you love all that Amy Butler paper?

Notebooks were displayed on my $8 bookcase from Goodwill (I painted it and now it will be Chris’ bedside table, haha). The butterfly notebooks sold out at the open house but I have a few of the other kinds left for my etsy shop.

Printable stationery and project ideas had their own wall. Lucky for me, the guys who renovated our bathroom let me have the palette the tile came on. Woo-hoo!

Wish I had a better pic of the gift card holders table. Sigh. The Christmas-style gift card holders sold out but I’m planning to make some more for the shop. Email me if you need that style and I’ll hold them for you.

I’m in love with this desk. $5. At a garage sale. Seriously. I refinished it and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. So I had to include it somewhere – it held the mailing list, business cards, scratch cards, and receipts by the front door.

Can’t wait to do this again next year!

I should get some items listed in the shop tonight. If you need to order something and don’t want to wait around for my shop to be updated, email me and I can fill your order that way.
