Boll Weevil Decor

Alex has long talked about opening a brewery called Boll Weevil.  I've reminded him on several occasions that he might want to consider actually learning how to brew, but that is beside the point.  The point is that, when the time comes I'll already have saved all kinds of ideas on how to decorate so that part will be easy peasy.  I'm thinking a southern/industrial chic look is going to be just perf.  Here are some ways we can incorporate cotton into the brewery...I might even have to steal a few of these for my home while I wait on Alex's brewing skills to improve!

Cotton displayed in galvanized steel buckets (not sure about the chalkboard label though...pretty sure Alex will reject that part after my failed attempt to turn an old platter into a chalk board).

Cotton in mason jars...minus the candles, those make it look way too weddingy.  Come to think of it, beer will prob be served in mason jars, not pint glasses.

Cotton wreath.  Love.

Cotton in big jars on trays...I'm thinking bottles of all the Boll Weevil brews could be displayed on these trays too.

Cotton boutoniere...not for the brewery but just to prove to you unbelievers out there that it can be done in a classy way.

Party Pictures

Love this idea...use photos of the birthday boy or girl throughout the years to make some wall decorations for the party...def using this for my mom's next big milestone birthday in a few years.

A Few Quick Updates to Tide You Over...

I really hate it when my favorite bloggers take forever to post something new.  Celebrities have been less than exciting recently had Anthro hasn't added anything new recently so I haven't had much to post about.  Here are some things that have caught my eye recently to keep you tided over until I have something good to post about...

I want to bake this homemade brownie recipe...or this pumpkin gingerbread trifle recipe from Paula Deen.

I want to find a pic I love to have blown up on plexi glass like this one...you can have it done here.

I want to make a garland of clothes pin bats using this Martha template

Finally, if I were in charge of ordering holiday cards I'd order them from Minted...are cute are these?!
