These napkins fool 'ya.
Show of hands; how many of you know that there are napkins available that look and feel like a linen fabric but they are actually a quality disposable?
And now you are wondering why you need something like that right?
Well.... for any event, party, or get together where you need a napkin nicer than the standard kind, but real linen won't work. Like say a wedding in a tent.
I needed a quality paper napkin so 250 people could wipe Chinese food off their lips, and I kid you not I love this product, and no I am not getting paid to say that!
The napkins are made by SimuLinen and they are a linen-feel premium quality paper napkin.

Lazy Halloween Door Decorations
In these parts I'm known as the Halloween Queen.
From years past hosting a haunted trail in the woods, to some epic parties in the back shed, if I'm gonna do Halloween up, I'm gonna do it up right.
Usually. But not this year.
Or for that matter not Halloween 2014, '15, or 2016 either.
Hard to believe the door things that you are about to see is the work of the same woman who made these awesome party invites......
Or whose party buffet spread sports glowing fake windows.....

Let Them Eat Cake, From A Mosaic Cake Stand
While other folks are readying their homes for Fall, I'm still winding down from wedding preparations.
I don't really have the desire to decorate anything since I'm still un-decorating from September.
So let's have a chat where I discuss cake, smashed china cake stands, and make no mention whatsoever of pumpkin spice anything.
Daughter #2 wanted a simple wedding cake, she's not a foofy girl, and her request of Amy from Amy's Cupcake Shoppe in Hopkins Minnesota, was for cake with a dark sage green and a touch of gray, sort of earthy to match her rustic outdoor wedding.

Popcorn Cart Stocked With PoppedCorn Gourmet Treats
Over summer our place was like a bee hive.
Worker bees everywhere.
Coming and going, hammering and nailing, flying in and out of the hive with pieces of pallets.....free pallets was our form of honey.
Then just like that in one day it's all over and as they say, all that's left are the memories.
But if you're lucky there are a few bags of popcorn left too!

Mini Biff, A Good Place To Go
When something takes almost a year to plan I must have mentioned it at least once or twice, but I admit I don't often yack about the personal side of my family, so if you didn't know that tidbit, I understand why.
The spire tent went up overlooking the lake, which is a quarter mile down our driveway away from any "facilities".
It wasn't going to work to have a couple hundred people walking back up the driveway, especially after dark, with the hope of using our mudroom bathroom, a vision I admittedly wasn't crazy about anyway.
So who 'ya gonna call?

Farm Of Dahlias
This story is really a labor of love.
Really.
With lots of labor.
And lots of love.
It started many years ago when the parents of our good friend Mike went about their life on the farm and planted some flowers in their yard.

Rustic Wedding Pallet Tables
Things here at the ranch are in high production mode at the moment for an end of September shindig and I've got pallets coming outta my....... shed.
There are things to do, and lots of 'em before a tent arrives in a couple weeks.
I would call the wedding of #2 Daughter a true DIY.
She is definitely a hands on bride and thankfully she knows her way around power tools - enough so that she is teaching the groom.
My kids grew up with hammers in their hands, so it's a bit unbelievable for my offspring, but the groom didn't. Nope, he didn't grow up in a DIY family, no siree.
The groom has said he isn't even sure his dad owned a screw driver.
Hard for my kids to relate to that fact for sure.

Tasting Cake at Amy's Cupcake Shoppe
There are lots of places to visit on the quaint Mainstreet in Hopkins Minnesota.
I have frequented many of the little shops over the years, finding treasures in the Thrift stores, unique handmade items by local artisans, or bits and pieces of vintage memorabilia from the antique booths.
But the frosting on the Mainstreet cake these days, is located at Amy's Cupcake Shoppe.
Mmmmmm mmmmm.

Thrifty Style Team Trash To Treasure
I really don't have to repeat it, but I will anyway......
One mans trash is another mans treasure.
For this months Thrifty Style Team, I will be decorating with someone's trash, and I tell 'ya, it is totally a treasure as far as I'm concerned.
In this case it was truly worth hopping in that dumpster.
