Rebecca Thuss

Rebecca Thuss's site makes me get this rushing feeling that I need to hurry up and come up with a reason to throw a party stat! Big time ideas to spring off of going on in here.

Too bad the plethora of summer birthdays are almost over. Hoping to have a new pad soon, perhaps a house-warming party will happen. If it does, I'll credit it all to Rebecca Thuss.

Nuts + Florida

WAY. TOO. CUTE.

And if I had $65.00 growing in the backyard, I'd order Florida:

The Fourth

My 4th of July pool party decor looked like this:

and like this {I got my jar and it was perfect for margaritas!}:

I was really hoping to pull off this and this:

Next time!

Cranes

found on Etsy:

{PeaceLily}

{sugarloop}

{Rainbowattic}

I couldn't help it - been listening to 'The Crane Wife' by The Decemberists all afternoon.

Let's Compare

On the left we have Crate & Barrel's Cold Beverage Jar for $39.95 -OR- on the right, Target's Whim by Cynthia Rowley Glass Sun Tea Jar for only $14.99. Identical much? Just another reason why I love Target. I'd get one for that outdoor party I was talking about throwing.

Paper Flower Garlands

I want to throw an outdoor party soon just so I can decorate with these garlands made from colored paper bags, as seen on Martha.
