A Budget Friendly Find......

These are some candlesticks I found on the clearance aisle at one of my favorite stores, HomeGoods. Neither had pairs and both were missing many of their crystals. So for $5.00, I bought both and took crystals from one and added them to the other.


After a coat of black spray paint, I think it matched my girly-glam theme perfectly!

Hot Pink and Black Lingerie Shower......

These are pics from my friend Angie's lingerie shower I hosted on Saturday night. I've been preparing for this shower for a long time, and I'm really pleased with the end result. I love to see lots of pics from real parties, so I'm going to post a bunch. Many thanks to the photographer~~~my very talented mom!

Very artsy pic of the sparkling crystals hanging over my kitchen island.

Another not so artsy pic of the "chandelier" I made with the left over crystals from my $6.00 clearance find at Home Goods!

I hope this post will help inspire others in planning just as I have been inspired by all of my blog friends!

Thanks for all of your inspiration,
