inspired / gold leaf oyster shells

{source}

I have to admit I'm much better at pinning DIY projects than actually doing them. That said, I've been smitten with the idea of serving salt and pepper in oyster shells (bonus points if they're painted in a pretty metallic shade). So I recently swiped a few empty shells after drinks and oysters with a friend and have big plans for them. 

Anyone other easy DIY projects I should attempt? I think I'll do my first batch in copper (my favorite) or silver (to match my mercury glass vases).

Happy weekend!! I sadly didn’t have time to put links together, but I’ll be back next week! Have a good weekend!

celebrate / girls night in

I’m a bit delayed in updating everyone on Girls Night! I got smacked with a cold this week and I’ve spent a lot of time in sweats while resting. 

Here’s a shot of part of the buffet table! I made sea salted caramel brownies,lemon bars, olive salad, a cheese board with prosciutto, feta, asiago, and fig jam and mustard. I also had hummus with carrots and veggies, Greek turkey sliders with mint and cucumber yogurt, and mini gruyere grilled cheese and tomato soup. Click the links for the recipes!
