Hello there! Just found this very sweet and romantic, shabby chic inspired paper bird place card project from Country Living. Originally intended to be a wedding place card, it's lovely enough to grace a summer dinner party table. You can also use it as a sweet notecard to deliver a bit of good news!
I'll have to make up for my lack of blog posts soon. I've finished a couple of sewing projects and I'm excited to share them with you.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Here's a dainty way to dress up jam jars for those summer tea parties. Cover a jar lid with doily and cap it off with a printed glassine cupcake wrapper. Tie securely in place with a jute twine for a natural effect.
