To be honest, I intended to order the medium sized vase for my table because I loved the shape so much but selected the wrong one. Doesn’t matter. She’s mine now! Currently fighting the urge yo get all 3. #springcenterpiece #springdecorating #tablecenterpiece #entrywaydecor @anthropologie @anthroliving

Please read this caption👇🏻 Comment link to shop these stackable champagne glasses. There are so many things you could do with these. Let me know if you want more ideas. Would be fun for a graduation party, bridal shower, baby shower, etc. Please note: the chips get soggy fairly quickly in the salsa so add your chips right before serving or just do chips and guacamole. The chips don’t get soggy in guac like they do in salsa. You could also fill each glass with salsa only and have a big bowl of chips on the side for guests to add as they wish. #bridalshowerfood #graduationpartyideas #graduationpartyfood #babyshowerfood #cincodemayoparty

GRADUATION GIFT BASKET 🎓 Comment LINK and I’ll send over the link to *almost* everything in this gift basket. There are a few items I purchased at local shops and could not link, but the vast majority of everything is available. If you want a blog post with a check list, please let me know and I’ll be happy to round up a complete list of essentials and more ideas for graduates soon. I used scotch tape to attach the skewers to the banner. I secured the skewers to the basket with duct tape - scotch tape isn’t strong enough for that. You’ll need something a little more substantial. Congrats grads! #graduationgiftideas #graduationgifts #graduationgiftidea #dormroomessentials
