Hello readers,  We did it! Madison from the Wetherills Say I Do and I had a successful first annual SGBC NC Blogger Meet Up Saturday and it was a blast.  I will share with you pictures, blogging tips from our special speaker, and more tomorrow.  I hope your weekend was just lovely.   Did you do anything special?

The Best Of May

Optimize Pinterest to Get More Traffic  With Pinterest being 95% of my referral traffic, I knew I had to focus on maximizing it.

Fabric Chandelier  An easy DIY project, perfect for covering up flush and semi-flush light fixtures you can’t or don’t want to remove. 🙂 

Porch Makeover for under $100  Mixed furniture sets, drop cloth curtains, and some new pillows helped create the perfect dining and lounging areas for outdoor enjoyment.

Personalize your Seating with Chalk Paint  Transform “out of the box” chairs (mine are from Walmart) into something personal and fun.

Coffee Table Makeover   One of the quickest furniture makeovers I have ever done using Poppies repurposing paint powder. 

Ranunculus Flowers  My secret weapon, use a half of a plastic Easter egg to get the ranunculus shape. 

Oyster Mirror  This might be my personal favorite this last month.  An old mirror+oyster shells+hot glue= A Stunning Oyster Shell Mirror. 

10 Ways to Simplify Your Decor  Prepare your home for summer with these quick ways to simplify your decor!

One more thing….

My amazing find for the month!! Seriously, I have been looking everywhere online and local for this.  Can you imagine going into a store and asking if they have any heads or busts?   Most people had no idea what I was even referring  to.   🙂 This is Daphne! I found her at a local vintage/resale boutique called Sweet Potatoes Vintage.  You can check out more of their items here.

Apparently, Daphne is still into the Derby.

Have a wonderful Monday!
