 So I’m talking lavender today {So excited!!} and bringing you a double dose of  it!

It’s a two for one thing!  Check out my  lovely friend Miss Melaine’s  lavender filled Post by hopping 

on over to her uber cool blog!

Here’s my take. Why not throw a l~a~v~e~n~d~e~r  themed summer soirée!

I did, with this Girls’ Night In with Monica Hart event at

Woodinville Lavender!

 Here are  a few simple lavender inspired entertaining ideas…

Here’s what I love about it…

This centerpiece idea can be tweaked  to fit any occasion, any color palette, any monogram!

Think baby shower, bridal shower or birthday celebration!

Start with an inexpensive shell. I went with a wooden square I picked up at  my local

 Michaels  for a couple of bucks.

I gave it a coat of yummy lavender hued Annie Sloan

chalk paint found HERE.

And  glamed  it up a bit with a little gold leaf found HERE.

I had a baking pan that fit the mold perfectly and

filled it with wet florist foam.

 Next I picked up a few bunches of inexpensive white

carnation and began filling the field. 

So fun…so simple…so PRETTY!
