DIY grilled cheese bar

throwing a last minute get-together with friends? katherine from the blog, the side stuff, shows us her fun idea of a deluxe grilled cheese bar party she recently hosted. what a great idea getting your guests to build their own grilled cheese sandwiches and scooping their own roasted red pepper soup to match it. less preparation and best of all, minimal clean up! 

the cool instruction signage to guide the guests

with simple eye-catching decor ~ you've got yourself an amazing party with a cool DIY "cooking" concept all the guests get to enjoy!

YUM! 

for the complete post and detail of this awesome party, visit HERE. thank you katherine for sharing!

friday faves

i love accessories and i definitely love jewelry of any kind. so when i discover a new etsy jewelry shop (well new to me, at least), i am thrilled to share them with you!

lemon sweet jewelry by leslie is a treasure of a shop with a myriad of sweet modern pieces that you can wear everyday. leslie started jewelry-making as a hobby and now it has become a part-time job she truly loves. my favorites are the knot friendship bracelets, the dainty necklaces and charming drop earrings - so many to choose from. all pieces are made to order and can be fully customized. she can even do special bridal orders for that memorable day!

visit her shop HERE and check out special deals and discounts every now and then via her FACEBOOK page!
