Hello lovelies!! I'm back today sharing how I updated this flatware box: The title suggests it was only $2, but it was actually marked $3.25. However all green tags were half price the day I found this, so it was even cheaper...$1.63! It would have been weird to put that in the title. In fact, the only reason I picked this up is because it was so cheap! Some of the flatware boxes I come across are just beautiful, but there is nothing fancy about this one at all. I'm so glad I bought … [Read more...]

How could I not shove this in my cart immediately for only $5? I decided to give this one a bit of a romantic feel: And for the romance … [Read more...]
