Pride and Prejudice is one of my most favorite book {I love the movies too}, so when I saw this mug on Kyoko tumblr I kind of went crazy!!!!! I remember seeing the mug and made an extremely high pitch noise and things seriously got blurry for the next 10 minutes because I was in pure la la land over the joy of this discovery. Are you ready for it?








I am in full blown SWOON mode. You can get this mug {best mug ever!!} along with other lovely Jane Austen inspired creations from this delightful {and totally awesome} etsy shop, Brookish.

How to throw a party: cute name cards idea

I'm a huge fan of party favors. I also have a thing for multiple purposes object in party decor. That is why I love love love the potted plants with the name card above spotted on Caroline Armelle's blog. It would be such a sweet party favor and a creative way to display the name cards {or you can use it as place cards}. I can also see using the potted plant as part of the table decor.




You can find the diy tutorial for the cute place cards/name cards on Caroline Armelle's blog. What do you think of party flavors? and what do you think of multiple purposes object in party decor?
