Stenciled wooden announcement

I really like this wooden sign. The pattern is so precise, it looks like it was stenciled on. I love the crisp celery green they used on the side twirly-bits.

Mad hatters

I love an over-the-top floppy hat with oversize fleur and sparkly brooch.

If you can match the clementine orange of the brim to the hot pink/olive/orange of your dress? So delightful in that first-time-Hugh-Grant-sees-The-American-Girl-in-Four-Weddings-And-A-Funeral way. (She glowed).

String art sign (in this case for a wedding, but could work for other things I suppose. Like an advertisement for a string art fair)

I wonder if this project counts as a lazy DIY if you work on it while you dangle your legs in a pool and sip a margarita with the other hand.

If not, maybe I can get my friend (the summer camp art instructor) to get her students to do it for me, while I dangle my legs in a pool and sip a margarita with both hands.

Summertime!
