but i’m getting kind of sick of halloween posts, so since it’s almost november — and fall just shouts cozy dinner parties to me, today’s wish list is all about cute dream things i want for my next dinner party.
brass coasters / geode glasses / rattan club chair / table runner / up tray / raw edge cutting board

diy trick or treat bags (with free printable)
halloween is coming up real soon — and who doesn’t want to have the best candy on the street?! here’s a very easy way to make yours stand out (and portion it fairly which i never do).
materials
cellophane bags
thick cardstock
a printer
scissors
stapler (or double sided tape)
directions
one . print out the printables at 100% scale. make sure they’re not scaled up. these measure 5.75″ wide by 5″ tall to fit my bags, but you can size up or down.
two . fold the paper in half and cut it out. i trimmed my bags a little because i only had so much candy. fill with candy and then staple on the toppers!

payday wishlist
hey it’s friday! we saw gravity last weekend, and i wanted to warn anyone that wants to see it to definitely see it in the theatre and in 3D. it’s not the greatest movie of all time, but i really think it could be boring at home on your tv. so see it – it’s like a 2 hour star tours ride.
one . these would look so cute and fancy for a night out with a ponytail.
two . i will forever love baskets and bins for crap. i want to fill this foil covered paper bag with all my crap.
three . so this rug is actually a yoga mat, and i don’t do yoga — but that means it would be a perfect kitchen mat!
four . love love this simple diamond ikat phone case.
five . an adorable little pouch that would look amazing with an all black outfit. -
