Sketchbook Tour ~ to Grand Rapids?

Lets bring the Sketchbook Project to Grand Rapids! Wouldn't that be great, to have our city as a stop on the tour?

Good{will outlet} Friday #18 Inspired by the Buckle

Who doesn't love shopping at the Buckle?

Heirloom Statement Necklace (DIY)

This romantic heirloom necklace was handed down to me by many generations of grandmas and great grandmothers who's necklines it graced at numerous balls and weddings.
Okay, that's not true at all, I just made this necklace this morning, but wouldn't you agree that it has a beautiful, inherited feel to it?

Silverware Tray Jewelry Rack (DIY)

You know what I really like?
I like putting on a nice outfit and having lots of different jewelry to choose from and accessorize with.  You know what I do NOT like?  Fishing necklaces out from behind the counter with a wire hanger while cussing under my breath, or sifting through the vacuum canister for an earring five minutes before I need to be somewhere.  To prevent these moments, here's what I came up with: a place to keep everything.

Good {will outlet} Friday #17 Inspired by Chic Wish

This is another post about cut off shorts.

Photo Frame Tray (DIY)

When I was in college, I made photo frame trays to give as gifts all the time.  I hunted thrift stores for a picture frame, painted it a fun color, and attached drawer pulls for handles.  In the face of the tray, where a picture would normally go, I added a graphic (usually something loud and colorful that I designed and printed at school).

Lacy Window Thank You Notes (DIY)~ Woodland Wedding

All of the tutorials I posted last week featured decorations and other items to make for a wedding.  Today is one last wedding post: we'll call it a bonus tutorial.

Eight West ~ With Goodwill

Last week, I had one of the coolest experiences ever!  That's me on EightWest, a West Michigan talk show telling people about the things I make and post here on Shades of Tangerine.

Good {will outlet} Friday #16 Woodland Wedding

Its Good{will outlet} Friday again, and the end of the Woodland Wedding post week!

Picture Frame Lantern (DIY) ~Woodland Wedding~

Outdoor wedding receptions are magical.  Music and laughter are carried by the breeze.  No matter the location, it's always a breathtaking, beautiful event.  The secret is lighting.  

Esty Shop ~ Grand Opening

Finally!

Fairy Tale Terrarium Centerpiece (DIY) ~Woodland Wedding~

This woodland centerpiece would be perfect for an enchanted story book wedding reception. When I think of fairy tales, I imagine Hansel and Gretel in the woods or Snow White singing to her forest animal friends.

Baby Food Jar Animal Party Favor (DIY) ~Woodland Wedding~

I think wedding favors are one of the best perks of attending a loved one's ceremony.

Paper Bag Invitation (DIY) ~Woodland Wedding~

I said my vows a few years ago, (and believe me, I am happy to never do it again) but sharing a friend's big day, and seeing all over her wonderful ideas usually leaves me thinking, "Why didn't I think of doing that for my wedding?"

Cake Jewelry Box (and jewelry from Loki Monster Designs)

Good{will outlet} Friday #15 Summer Vacation

Every season, I find something new to fall in love with and obsess over and absolutely need more than anything. 

Flower Crown (DIY)

Recently, I've been noticing a lot of flower crowns in fashion photography.  They look so pretty and summery, but is this an every day accessories or just a high fashion thing that no one would really wear in real life?  I decided that I was going to make one and wear it in public.

Runner's Fanny Pack

I love to run: its refreshing and satisfying, and the one physical exercise almost everyone is good at.

Shadow Box Magnets (DIY)

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Good{will outlet} Friday #14

You know how, sometimes, when your shopping, you'll see something random, like a pair of high waist-ed shorts and you think, "What the heck?  How would that work?"  Then you see them on the mannequin as part of a great ensemble and you're like, "Ohhhh, I get it."
