I would take homemade desserts over store bought ones any day. Even if baking is not your calling there are simple treats you can make, that will definitely impress friends and family. Caramel wrapped chocolate pretzels have always been one of my favorite treats to make for different holidays and seasons. They are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. All you do is wrap pretzel rods with caramel, dip into melted chocolate and decorate with sprinkles.

When it comes to monogramming what was once reserved strictly for hand towels in the guest bath has now transformed into a way to personalize practically anything. The classic three-letter monogram is a charming southern tradition that is slowly catching on in the north.

This has been one chaotic week that I never thought would end. One perk of the week was yesterday I had the opportunity to catch up with an old friend that I haven\’t talked to in a few years. However I am glad that it\’s finally the weekend even though mine will be a little chaotic, I do have a craft night planned with a couple friends.  What are your weekend plans?

DIY: Scarf Holder

Prior to college I owned one scarf for the purpose of keeping me warm. When I was in college my collection started to grow. Scarves easily became my favorite accessory and not just something to keep me warm during Michigan winters.  Obviously in college space is limited, so my mum came up with this scarf holder for me. Simple, inexpensive and a must-have for any scarf enthusiast.

you can also attach all the rings to the hanger and then insert the scarf

Accent Pieces

My current couch is a light cream, and since I live in an apartment the space is limited. When it comes to adding accents to a room (such as the living room) it’s nearly impossible. Surely that doesn’t stop me from dreaming up what pop of color I would add to the room. Currently I love bold bursts of colors in the form of chairs and pillows.
