Pottery Barn Inspiration

On Friday I was having the urge to shop. Shopping + no money = trouble Then I remembered that I have a Pottery Barn gift card! WOO HOO! So off to PB I went. When I got there, I loved everything in the place, except nothing was worthy of my gift card! I scored an awesome Christmas Tree topper for 4.99 but no more bargains to be had. I was inspired by a few things I saw there though!

I found a burlap table runner and wine bag (that I cannot find photos of online). They were priced a lot higher than burlap should EVER be priced and a very common thought passed through my mind "I can make this." So I went to the fabric store and purchased 5 dollars worth of burlap and ended up with this bag!I just measured enough burlap to fit the bottle of wine and then sewed up 3 sides. Then got out my scrapbooking rubber stamps and painted on VINO. Taaaa daaaa!

Then while I was feeling crafty, I wanted to add a little something to these cheap-o boxes I found on clearance at hobby lobby. 4$ for both! I added our anniversary and initial. They look cute in my foyer!


Did anyone else get crafty this weekend??
