Eve and Co Sale


Eve & Co. Floral and Event Styling is known for their quirky and vintage/shabby chic style and adorable props. I think it takes a lot of creativity and an eye for detail to make an event look like what it's suppose to look. They also did the reception decor and bouquets during our wedding. 





So imagine my excitement when my friend told me that Eve and Co was having a sale... Yes. This is just what I need. Cheap findssss.




It took a while for us to get to their warehouse but it was worth it. I didn't take a photo of the warehouse because the moment I entered, I just lost it and grabbed whatever I could. Here's what we got:

Dikit-dikit na vase

Cookie jar. Got two of these

Chalkbaord. We put this beside our buffet table


Crates that now serve as wine/jack racks 

Umbra frames for PHP 150!

I used one already.

Fish bowl and rack. Nic insisted on putting real fish. :/ Not a pet person.

Lamp

Pink espresso cups and Audrey Hepburn tea cups!

This originally white cabinet which I repainted and distressed.

We replaced our TV with this sign. It's a lovely message and a great daily reminder.




We will take good care of them, Eve and Co! Have another sale!

Yarn bombing

My friend Angela takes such nice photos that's why I always check out Instagram account. Then I saw this:

Angela's Instagram account

 So I asked her what yarn bombing was, and she told me that it's a type of graffiti that uses knitted yarn. 




After that I was itching to yarn-bomb some trees but a) I didn't know how to knit and b) we were living at a condo at the time so I didn't have trees to yarn bomb. So I just set that idea aside, pinned it on my mental Pinterest board. 

Fast forward to the week when I saw some yarn-bombed trees in the fort! They didn't even use knitted yarns. They just used those rags being sold on the street. Clever. And very pinoy I must say. 


Since we had already moved in our new home (with trees!), I decided to waste no time and yarn bomb! Perfect for summer! This is it!!! Okay. I did waste time. It took me 2 more weeks to buy some yarn. 

I picked bright colours for summer. I even bribed the husband and our friend to help me yarn bomb.


Tadaaa!
