I'm Back...to Shower some L-O-V-E!

After a wonderful evening with blogger friends last night, I finally feel the excitement to resume the "Treasure the Trash" blog again!  Last year, I posted a few craft ideas then was quickly distracted.  Well honestly, I also got caught up in Pinterest and somewhat felt my blog was pointless.  Thinking back over this last crazy year, there was quite a bit of fun, crafty times that I should have posted.  So....We are going to try this again!!

The event I am so excited to share today is the bridal shower for my new sister in law! My brother, Joel married the most amazing lady, Kristin this past May.  It was a beautiful wedding for three people I love so much!! Three?  Yep, I also got a nephew, Jack, out of the deal! That is kind of fun for me to say :) During the shower and wedding plans, I met some amazing, life-long friends of Kristin's. These girls were so creative and we had a blast putting together the bridal shower.  Below are some of the pictures and details of behind the scenes.

Table decorations for the bridal shower were beautiful rustic.  We used a mix of lace and burlap. Jars are either from storage or the goodwill, twigs from the backyard, and flowers from tissue paper.

This was one of my favorite pieces!  Love the mix of lace and twigs.  Simple as lace on cardboard and hot glue the twigs in place.

Kristin had the idea of collecting teacups at the bridal shower.  At first,

I couldn't picture what they would be used for. She received a wide variety and used them to serve desserts at the wedding!
