Bottoms up Bottle Flowers
May 16
When you look at this photo… You don’t really need to read the instructions. I have proven this by doing exactly that, or exactly not that, you know what I mean: I didn’t read the instructions. The craft, though beautiful is pretty straight forward and obvious, thus the instructions likewise. But just in case you, the reader, are not as smart as I am, I’ll write some out...
The Pintester Takes On The Paloma
May 14
I was in New York last week, and while I was there, I went to this fancy-pants speakeasy where they had old-fashioned snooty cocktails called things like The Old Fashioned. (Right?) I wanted to make fun of the douche-baggery, but honestly, they were the best freaking cocktails I’ve ever had.

The whole story in pinnable...

No commitment, and uses a supply you can easily get at your local arts and crafts store? Yes, please. Hair chalking – a project first found at Erika Worzel – is definitely a pin for the Pinterest hall of...
