happy weekend!

I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to read blogs, blog myself or do anything else deliciously organized related!  Hopefully I'll have time during this long weekend to catch up on reading and get a legitimate post up myself...

I hope you all have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!

diy: save a stained blouse

Back in March I had a wonderful trip up to Napa. Although, after an aggressive game of Cranium...my new lace blouse was destroyed by red wine (yes, we bring cranium everywhere...even wine tasting).  The dry cleaner couldn't get the wine out and I refused to never wear the blouse again.  My only thought to save it was to...dye it? I worried the fabric was too delicate, so instead of the washing machine, I used an old vase and stirred it in the kitchen sink for a little while.  And, I actually LOVE the way it turned out.  I did a bright fuschia and I think it's perfect for summer.  I'm so fired up about it I'm thinking of dying a cami to match with the leftover dye?  Have you ever saved an article of clothing with dye?  How did it turn out?

minted giveaway~ personalized note cards & address labels!

 *giveaway is closed*

A few weeks ago I received a set of gorgeous minted note cards while on a bridal tour in wine country. If you're new to minted, they are an online paper goods store that sources fresh, unique artwork from a global community of graphic designers.  They believe that great design lives and thrives in the hands of indie designers that are not available through traditional retailers {love that about them!}.   

Ever since the tour I've kept my stack of note cards front and center on my desk {as not only a reminder to send out notes, but as a beautiful accessory}.  I like that their cards are thick and printed on luxurious paper stock and the fact that they have several modern and vintage designs {I have the very top photograph set}.

I am very excited that they have offered a set of note cards from their personalized stationery line AND a set of skinny address labels to one lucky reader! Wish I could win!

a garden of love for your envelope.

I still like to put pen to paper and send out note cards ever so often & I think these stamps are the perfect touch for a spring note.  Very creative, fun and fresh.  I love how all the stamps are shaped like hearts.  Aren't they beautiful?
