Gold Bar Cart Inspiration and Cocktail Ideas

I'm sure everyone is feeling festive these days.  I am thinking more about all the holiday parties, fun cocktails, and serving ware that I get to pull out for the holidays.  I thought about making a gift guide, but it stresses me looking at all the stuff I still need to buy.  So, I went with the party and bar cart holiday inspiration board!  A great way to procrastinate...  There are so many cute ways to put together a festive little cart that can last through the year and here are some of the must haves!

Holiday Indoor Lighting & Giveaway!

This year, we didn't really get to the lights on the outside of our house.  Being 30 weeks pregnant and my husband recovering from recent ACL surgery on his knee...well, we can barley get in and out of the car as a couple.  We are quite a pair right now. 

 I'm thinking some indoor lighting for the holidays will work and how beautiful are these.  Any other ideas for indoor lighting?  The first picture below, from Hey Gorgeous, are made from Dixie cups!  See the DIY Dixie cup garland tutorial here from Hey Gorgeous.

Online Boutique Roundup

Abbe is so sweet and has the most fabulous skills when it comes to design and decor.  She has a unique taste that's reflected in her shop, blog, work and cute outfits.  We've worked together several times and she is a wonderful supporter of my art.  You should see her in action here and check her shop here!

Lindsay, of Hattan Home, is a super bubbly, colorful and ultimate girly girl...just like her store!  I'm always loving her new items and her store has blasted off!  This girl is a hard worker and definitely one of a kind.  She has been a great supporter of my art and is fun to chat with on the phone too:) Check out Hattan Home here!

 Next is...The Zhush...love the name!  Sue has a really great blog to follow, you can get lost in her store as well!  There are gifts and trinkets for every occasion.  Although we've never met, she has complimented my art in the past and has a very friendly personality.  Check out the Zhush here! 

 

Jen, of Made by Girl has a blog and shop that are widely known and it's obvious why through all her hard work, fun prints, art, and products.  She is an avid Christian and gracefully talks about her passions on her blog.  Her unique style and passionate personality make her seem like a fun and sweet person to know!  Check out Made by girl here!  

These are just a few of my favorite stores that I am inspired by.  Although my future shop won't be as grand as these are, baby steps (I'm talking about 4 products and new prints and paintings) they set a great path to follow!  Here are a few more that I love....

On another note, I'm super excited about tomorrow because this blog is getting a revamp!
