white strapless dresses on Mar 19, 2011

Today is fine. My mother said to me:"Get karen millen dresses please?And look out of the window. What a fine day! Let's go to park,"It was really a good day, So my mother, my classmate and I went to the park. We took some foods in my schoolbag. On the way to the park. I saw strapless dresses in the blue sky with snow-white clouds. I saw pear trees and some apple trees and so on. Below the trees, there are several kinds of flowers. It's colorful, blue, red, yellow, pink, purple, orange and white.I saw some karen millen halter dresses and butterflies in the sky. I ate popcorn, cornflakes, banana and lollipop. They were wonderful. In the afternoon, we went to buy karen millen skirts. I visited the birds, mice, cats, dogs, budgies, hamsters, rabbits and so on.

thanks AugustBride! The table numbers are from Anthropologie last season. But check out your local flea markets for vintage house numbers for the same effect.

AugustBride on Apr 21, 2010

Hi Kelly - this is amazing!!! Where did you get the metal numbers from?

Great idea. I'd probably not go with a railroad ties though because they are treated and don't smell all that great. But it's a fantastic way to create beautiful centerpieces out of old logs. Thank you for the terrific idea!

Genius and brilliant. I particularly love the contrast between the brown and yellow. It feels really earthly but not too much dark. Impressive work of art.

My wedding is in December and I'm currently LOVING succulents...will they be out of season when its time for me to buy?

This is so super cute. I love how succulents are becoming beautiful and simple wedding favors and centerpieces.

Kelly!! Love this great idea! Thx for sharing!

Maaike on Apr 19, 2010

Railroad ties are typically treated with a chemical compound called creosote and can give off a toxic, strong odour. Might want to avoid those kinds of ties! : )

These are really cool. I like the rail road tie idea. Reusing something is almost always a good idea.
